Reviews for Understanding Exposure

  • The first book any serious amateur photographer should buy5

    Alex Singleton I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has bought a SLR and wants to know what all the seemingly incomprehensive terminology means - and who wants to make images that look impressive.

    The book is printed of high-quality art paper. It is beautifully presented with stunning images, but unlike many photo books, the author explains in very practical ways how they were made. If you didn't know whether to set your aperture to f4 or f22 before you read the book - or if you hadn't the foggiest what aperture means - you would understand after reading this book.

    There are particularly good sections on getting the best results from different types of light, blurring action (such as water), and intentionally pushing backgrounds out of focus. There is also useful section on using filters, such as the polarising filter, an essential piece of kit for landscape photographers.

    Importantly, Bryan Peterson has an easy-to-follow writing style and his obvious love of photography shines throughout the book. I've read a lot of photography books and this is the best I've seen for those wanting to jump from merely passable Auto mode creations to more advanced photography. by Alex Singleton
