Reviews
"Of all the photography books I have on my bookshelf, and believe me, I have quite a few, this is the one that stands out as the most helpful. It is the first one I recommend to new photographers and it is one that I refer to when I need a bit of a refresher. It will take the fear out of moving from the point and shoot modes to the creative modes of your camera." - Digital Photography School

Revised edition
Synopsis
This newly revised edition of Bryan Peterson's most popular book demystifies the complex concepts of exposure in photography, allowing readers to capture the images they want. Understanding Exposure has taught generations of photographers how to shoot the images they want by demystifying the complex concepts of exposure in photography. In this newly updated edition, veteran photographer Bryan Peterson explains the fundamentals of light, aperture, and shutter speed and how they interact with and influence one another. With an emphasis on finding the right exposure even in tricky situations, Understanding Exposure shows you how to get (or lose) sharpness and contrast in images, freeze action, and take the best meter readings, while also exploring filters, flash, and light. With all new images, as well as an expanded section on flash, tips for using colored gels, and advice on shooting star trails, this revised edition will clarify exposure for photographers of all levels.

    An excellent eBay seller. Great communication. They worked with me to ensure a great experience. The camera I bought was all better than described, packed very well and securely, and shipped fast. The asked amount was a very fair market value. I would highly recomment this seller, and would not hesitate to order from them again. Thank you!

    The seller was very cooperative sorting out postage from the USA to the UK. The delivery took a while but the camera eventually arrived. I believe that inspection at the eBay International Hub involved some rough handling and caused minor damage to the camera which I had to fix, but that was not the fault of the seller. I would be happy to use this seller again. The camera was as described, was fairly priced, and communication with the seller throughout was good.

    Excellent packaging for the camera, everything came that was included. Shipping took entirely too long, not sellers fault but still pretty nerve wracking. Camera is actually better than described and worth the money paid for! Will shop here again for future camera needs. Thanks Gene! Super communicative throughout this entire process.

    Great Book For New Photographers

    Having read the previous version of this book, I purchased several copies of this newer edition to give to friends who have become interested in photography. I would highly recommend it to new photographers as an excellent resource of information on understanding exposure. Those with more experience will also benefit from the author's many years of experience as a professional photographer.

    GOOD INFO FOR THE BEGINNING PHOTOGRAPHER

    I HAVE READ 3 BOOKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR AND 2 I DID NOT CARE FOR. THIS BOOK WAS 1 OF THE 2, THE OTHER 1 WAS ABOUT FLASH PHOTO LIGHTING. THE ONE I DID LIKE WAS ABOUT CREATIVE PHOTOGRAPHY AND I ENJOYED IT VARY MUCH! I THINK THAT THE TWO OTHER BOOKS WERE ON THE MORE BASIC SIDE OF THERE SUBJECT MATTER AND I FOUND THEM BORING!
