Media Term Thursday #20
/Over Exposed
Too much light has reached the film or photographic paper to produce a correctly exposed image.
Whilst taking the photograph, the light meter will register above the line (the aperture is set too high or the shutter speed too slow to allowing too much light to hit the film), resulting in an overexposed negative.
In the darkroom, the photographic paper may be exposed for too long, resulting in an overexposed print.
Overexposed images appear as being too light.
