Go a little deeper in Exposure....and enjoy the author's evident Love for image making.

So, you know you use a larger aperture for a shorter depth of field. And you know large apertures have small numbers. But would you like to know why that is? Do you already know? If, indeed, you know these basic principles but not 'why' they exist, then you remind me of me, and I think you'll like this book. The photos are great, the book dimensions show them off well, and the descriptions are fantastic. It's not a dry, dull technical book...not does it overdo the, um, humor (ahem, Scott Kelby....). But it makes exposure make sense of a deeper level. Of course, if you don't an know aperture from a hand grenade, you'll probably like this, too. But, you don't have to be 'that clueless' to get something from this book. For me, it's reinforcing things I already know and helping me understand them a little more...and inviting me to really use my knowledge. The author evidently loves to shoot, and that enthusiasm is infectious. Don't worry that's it's too easy or too hard for you; just read it. I think it's been around forever...and books that stay in print that long tend to do so for a reason. (Recommended for film and digital, I will add that I am reading the revised edition, 2004, and am delighted that there is more information on digital than I expected. I do remain curious about the upcoming August 2010 edition, though.)

Understanding Exposure

Bryan Peterson does a great job in review in the first part of the book that most who are reading it will appreciate it for what it is. Very interesting ideas for creating that perfect photo combining use of ISO, shutter speed and aperture. Most informative.

I purchased this book used and was in like new condition.

Excellent book - every photographer should own a copy!

This is an excellent book. In fact, I need to read it again. At first, some of the lingo may be over your head if you are just getting into photography but it's well worth the read. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in photography - it's one of the best books out there!

Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera

This book is fantastic. In just a few chapters, Bryan Petersen has taken the mystery out of manual settings on my camera. Prior to reading this book, I thought only professionals could use manual settings. To me they were Greek. Now I have the confidence and understanding to use this setting on my camera thanks to Bryan's excellent and clear explanation. Would highly recommend this book for any photography novice.

Direct to the point

I am a beginner and I try to get my hands on as many photography books as I can. Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson is not the first photography book I have read but this book is where I really learned! It doesn't use complicated terms and is direct to the point.
