overexposures

Excessive light ruinations

Overexposures is the plural of overexposure—instances of too much exposure.

In photography, overexposures are shots ruined by excessive light, leaving images washed out or bleached: The roll was full of overexposures from the bright snow.

The term extends to radiation, sunlight, or media saturation: Repeated overexposures to the candidate dulled public interest.
