Reviews
I love the way Bryan Peterson writes his books. They are so down to earth in their explanations. He has also included so much information without cluttering the writing. So many photo books talk way above the normal--just learning-- person. That will cause the person to get discouraged instead of being encouraged in the photography field. I can speak from that first hand. I have purchased books to try to be a better photographer only to find the more I read the more confused I became. The way that "Understanding Exposure" is written, it does not do that. It is written all the way to the end with the basic photographer in mind. It is not to say that more advanced photographers can not gain extra knowledge from this book, by all means they can== with all the hints it is a wealth of information. I love the photo examples along with the settings that were used on the camera. The photos are beautiful.It has sections for shutter speed, aperture,light as well as special techniques and filters. It even has a chapter on film vs. digital. The opening chapter is just that, an introduction to exposure. So many times it is the exposure settings we can not get right and this book will definitely do the job. I have a much better understanding of what the basic terms are and how they are applied. I keep this book handy as there are times I second guess myself and this is a great go back to reference as well. I think if you are a beginning photographer or a seasoned veteran you can still pick up some great ideas from this book
