Product Description
Capturing an image and getting the right exposure is critical and Jeff Wignall recognizes exposure as the secret for creating an image that captures a vision and shares it with the world. When you apply his techniques with patience, experimentation, and a focus on the outcome, you will begin creating images that reveal not only what you saw, but how you felt when you saw it. In fact according to Shutterbug magazine Exposure Photo Workshop “may be the best book yet written about exposure.” By learning to work with natural light as well as when to use flash you will confidently capture action, night scenes, rainbows, sunsets, and reflections like never before. With stunning images, Jeff Wignall shows you how to perfectly expose pictures in even the most challenging existing light conditions, including poor weather, using a flash, and even a section guiding you through using multiple wireless flash units. You can upload your own images to Photoworkshop.com and get feedback from other photographers.
Wignall starts by explaining the fundamentals of exposure and why it’s important. This leads into learning the basics of exposure controls. By the end of chapter 2, you will know how to control the exposure on your point-and-shoot or digital SLR camera. Chapter 3 walks readers through measuring light using just about any light meter and Chapter 4 delves into lens apertures and depth of field. The focus moves to shutter speed and subject motion. After Chapter 6, you’ll have the knowledge and confidence to turn off your camera’s automatic settings and take manual control. Wignall then examines natural light exposures, discussing the intricacies of light quality, light direction, and time of day. As you approach more advanced exposure options, you’ll need the troubleshooting advice provided in Chapter 8, covering difficult situations such as metering challenges, handling contrast, and creating dramatic silhouettes. With more advanced techniques mastered, you can then approach night and low-light conditions and then examine special considerations such as the weather and natural phenomena. The book finishes strong with a comprehensive look at all things flash photography.

NEVER RECEIVED, NEVER RESPONDED!,
This review is from: Exposure Photo Workshop: Develop Your Digital Photography Talent (Paperback)
Thieves! My order was placed in November. Wen I contacted the seller to find out where my book was, I never heard back. I live in the US and it was going to my brother-in-law in Canada. Guess they felt they could take my money and not deliver!

Totally useful book,
By BakariC - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Exposure Photo Workshop: Develop Your Digital Photography Talent (Paperback)
I've read many books on photography, but i must say this is the one book that explains exposure extremely well. The writing is very accessible and all the explanations are illustrated with actual photos. Photos in the book not only include the perfunctory exposure data, but the author uses the caption to reiterate what he explains in the book. Furthermore, I like how the author includes not only photos that came out well for him, but he also includes ones that didn't come out well and explains what he would have done deferent.Even though I've been a professional photography for a little over three years, I'm constantly learning and deepening my understanding of the craft. This book will be one that I come back to again and again. I just might get another copy and re-read it again next year. All I can say is that if you're really wanting to understand how to work with various lighting conditions in relationship to aperture, shutter speed, ISO, white balance controls, and flash, this book will help you. Assignments are included at the end of each chapter, and each page includes space to jot notes. Though technical language is used, the author does a good job of breaking down complicated terms. I can't recommend this book enough for serious amateurs and emerging professional photographers. 35 of 38 people found the following review helpful

First impressions,

This review is from: Exposure Photo Workshop: Develop Your Digital Photography Talent (Paperback)
What a great book! Accessible and useful for beginning photographers or those who want to go beyond the programmed modes and take control of their photographs. Profusely illustrated with all sorts of great photos that are (mostly) the sort that anyone can take, not the type that most people will only sigh at because they cannot travel to exotic places and spend a fortune on equipment. All manner of useful tips and diagrams are here. For example: for those confused about aperture and what it means the author provides not just the numbers but scale diagrams making it clear what they represent physically-- a very nice touch. Just about everything I could think of made it into the book. Easily a 5-star recommendation. This is my 3rd book on exposure and I think this one is the best. I'll update this with a detailed review when I'm finished.

A Great Book!!!,
By Ted - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Exposure Photo Workshop: Develop Your Digital Photography Talent (Paperback)
After just having bought the Nikon D300 (after a life using point-and-shoot cameras), I wanted a good overview and introduction into exposure. Wow, did this book deliver! I finished the entire book in a few days and bookmarked the parts I want to return to. Everything about the book from the organization, the pictures and examples is a testament to the author's knowledge and to his ability to teach! I can only hope the other books in the series are as good as this one!!
