4 out of 5 stars understanding but still lost   April 29, 2008
this book helps alot when it comes to the effects of exposure in photography. I'm still lost though. I can't seem to get my camera off the automatic setting yet. The book shows what happens at different settings it even gives examples of subtle changes. It clearly shows the results of changing the exposure settings and demonstrates alot of photos where the exposure is just OK but how to get the same photo to POP by adjusting exposure settings.


3 out of 5 stars A little too basic   April 28, 2008
The book is good, it tells you how to properly expose for different scenarios and effects but its explained too much. Its aimed for begginers so it can be a little boring for the ones that already know the basics. The pictures in the book look old and I didnt like that. Overall its a good book for learning from scratch or maybe catch a few extra tips that you may not already know as an intermediate photographer.


5 out of 5 stars This is the all-time greatest book on photography!!!   April 28, 2008
I have read many photography books, and this book is my photography bible. It is suitable for beginners and intermediate. Both novice and intermediate photographers should not miss...

It contains theories and clear examples with clear explainations. Following assignments in this book provided, you will get more understanding on taking pictures.



5 out of 5 stars exposure made easy   April 25, 2008
the author keeps this so relavant. Is like being in the field with him, as he gives you the way his brain works and then helps you to get the camera set so you capture the image correctly. The exercises are helpful and fun, and with digital you can tell right away if you're on the right path or not...

His images are lovely, the tips he offers are very easy to comprehend and very useful, from setting the correct aperture, to tricks of the trade for action shots, macro and more. He also offers secrets of the pros to keep your images interesting and a bit off the beaten path so they are also noteworthy and memorable...

As someone who has been dabbling in photgraphy, correct exposure has always been a tough part of the technical side of the art for me, but Peterson makes it accessible to anyone




4 out of 5 stars easy to understand   April 19, 2008
A great book. Excellent first time introduction to the "technicals" of photography or for those who had let their knowledge slip. The photos are stunning and Bryan writes in a style that is entertaining and informative. Highly recommended to those interested in photography at the beginners level.
