Book is good. Had to get it at the bookstore. June 1, 2008

Mine never came from Amazon, but the seller did refund my money.

I believe when I got this from the bookstore it was a later version for digital.

This book is a must have for every beginner to advanced beginner. It helps make sense of how the functions of the camera come together to form the image. As the books title Say's it WILL give you and understanding!

I actually ordered this book twice. The first time it never came - lost in delivery. It was like pulling teeth to get a refund from the third party shop Amazon went through.
Anyway the main thing is this is a fine book full of great advice for film photographers (digital was really not even in existence much then in early 90's).
There's another book by the same author, same title that is the revised edition - Amazon: why not a link to this book to help out your readers??!! This is the version you'll want in any case. Suppose Amazon just helping their vendors clean out their warehouses.

One Bryan peterson is an amazing photographer, the latest addition of this book is one of the best I've read. I like it so much that I'm enrolling in his course at www.betterphoto.com

Not only is Mr. Peterson very knowledgeable but extreamly down to earth. I wrote him an e-mail asking about the course offered at better photo and he answered my questions in detail within three hours of when my e-mail was sent. Great photographer, great book, a lot of knowledge in a short read.

Even if you are not just starting out this is worth reading and if you've been in the business awhile this is a good way to affirm what you know and get some fresh ideas.

well worth the price!

Tells you everything you need to know June 6, 2005

In Understanding Exposure, Bryan Peterson thoroughly explains what he sets out to explain: how aperture, shutter speed, and film affect the images you take. I've read many other explanations of aperture and shutter speed, but never has it made such perfect sense to me as it did after reading Peterson's book.
