Exposure is a combination of two fundamental camera settings-aperture diameter and shutter speed. Many combinations will give the right exposure, but each will have differences is depth of field, motion blur, and so on.
Step 3. Harvest winter squash early if you expect a hard frost. While winter squash can tolerate light frost, even when the vine dies, a hard frost can damage the plant. Cut the squash off the plant with a piece of vine still attached, and place the fruit to cure in a cool location for several days.
Summer Squash: Harvest when fruit is 6-8 inches long by cutting from the plant with a knife. Pick frequently and remove all oversized fruit to encourage additional fruit production. Pumpkins: Cut from the vines leaving a 3-4 inch long stem when the fruits have turned orange and the skin has hardened.
