Getting back to exposure, use the histogram on the back of your camera, you can toggle it on or off with the navigation button, up and down I think.

Ideally a well exposed image will have data the full width of the histogram, without the white at the right climbing the wall. That means the whites are over exposed.

Use the exposure compensation button to adjust the exposure in aperture mode.

It may not have been the exact image I wanted, but it was a good demonstration and I understand more what you mean. I'll have to mess around with iPhoto some more.

I think I get the concept of exposure much better, but I'm really unsure of how to adjust it and use it on my camera. Looks like I need to consult the manual and see what it has to say. Although that thing hasn't really been any help so far!
