Understanding Exposure, Fourth Edition: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera

Great book with some really good explanations breaks down principles and helps understanding.

If you buy just one book to get to grips with photography and a shiny new DSLT or DSLR Camera - GET THIS ONE. I downloaded the sample and in no time was engrossed, understanding and what's more taking it in and retaining what I had read, along with the practice sections, it went in and has stayed there. So I bought the book. Bryan Petersen's way of explaining and guiding is GREAT. If you are just starting to learn or on the way with your photography and there are things you don't get - BUY IT. This book is not all about exposure, it covers a lot of area's like F Stops, ISO, Shutter speed, Creatively Correct Exposure and so much more, it is well worth every penny and the little effort that is asked for every so many pages. I do not usually write a review about books - but felt I had to, DON'T take my word for it - Download the sample from Kindle - you WILL have an epiphany.

I have not had chance to read it, but looks like a quality piece of write up and photos

Probably the best photography book you can buy. This is for a friend who has just got into photography since I wasn’t willing to part with my copy

Many books on photography do their best to confuse and make the whole process appear complicated. This book is the antidote. Using simple to understand explanations of why and how to take different types of picture with examples to illustrate the concepts, this book has the capacity to greatly improve your pictures. Add Understanding Composition from the same author and you will have all the tools you need to take great pictures!

Arguably premature after reading only 40 pages, my review is based on finding answers that no other writer I've read has provided. In just those few pages I have more than justified the purchase. At first the explanations might seem simplistic and patronising but I think the writer is operating at another level: think intuitive rather than simplistic. Serious teachers find ways to make things understood at a depth where the associated knowledge quickly becomes second nature. My impression is that Mr Peterson is just such a teacher. Looking forward to studying the rest of the work and then putting it all into practice. Essential.

I bought this when i first got my camera, admittedly the tech he is using is perhaps older than the most modern cameras but the principle is more than relevant. I would suggest this to any new photographer wanting an easy way to understand how their camera works. As a result of reading this ive never actually used my camera in an automatic setting. If you think you dont have time to read books just think about what you are doing when the Mrs is watching the soaps:), you could finish the book in a couple of weeks.

For an experienced amateur I picked up some useful tips from this book. It is well worth reading.

Starts with the basics and explains the principles of photography clearly. Some of the similes are a bit forced, but it's very useful and instructive

Produto novo, lacrado.

update my photography kill ! thanks !

Bom manual.

It's a great book, and the triangle concept is real easey to learn & practice . Thank you Dear Mr. Peterson, although he is in heaven now. But he has left a great work for enthusiastic photographers.
