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

SynopsisThis 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.

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.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

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!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
