Bryan Peterson has written a guide to exposure in a language that anyone can understand. Instead of giving you the textbook technical descriptions of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, he writes his descriptions as if he's a friend explaining it to you. This gives you the technical knowledge in an easy to read, understandable format. The pictures he uses are gorgeous, and I love how he includes captions for each one explaining his settings and why he chose them. I love photography, but have only recently bought a DSLR camera. I needed a book to walk me through all the manual settings to get the pictures I wanted. This book is highly rated on every single website I looked at. I can see why. I've already read the first chapter 3 times and each time I come away with a new little piece of information and a little bit more understanding. And that's before ever picking up my camera to test out the settings I'm reading about. Then as if the book itself weren't enough of a gold nugget, Peterson includes free online tutorials and forums that you can access for even more information and knowledge. This was my first Bryan Peterson book, but it sure won't be my last. Every photographer of any skill level will benefit from the information Peterson provides in his book. I know I'll become a better photographer for it.Read full review
Brian Petersen gives visual explanations that are always easy to understand in his precise teaching methods. He gives a brief explanation and then his images highlight his subject.This is a book that I constantly pull from my library for reference and and I always absorb something new.

This was recommended to me by a friend and it turned out to be a great investment. I would say I am an intermediate photographer and I still enjoyed reading and learning from this author and book. Nice photos to compliment examples and teaching techniques. Easy to understand. Great reference for anyone interested in improving their skills.
