Offers a greater understanding of Exposure.,
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film Or Digital Camera (Paperback)
There are those photographers who understand exposure and those who do not. Whatever your own level of experience with either (or both) digital or film camera, this book will, at one of the scale, teach the novice a great deal about the subject. At the other end, there will be few professional or highly competent amateur photographers who could fail to learn something from this excellent work. In short, there is something for everyone in this book and, even a brief flick through the pages, is enough to generate ideas.I particularly like the way in which the book is laid out. A great deal of thought went into a design which allows readers to build on what has been covered so far as they progress through the work. Beginning with; Defining Exposure, the author devotes considerable time to each of the main headings which also include; Aperture, Shutter Speed, Light and penultimately; Special Techniques and Filters. Finally, there is a discussion on Film vs. Digital which might be useful for those photographers who are still not convinced by the new technology. Speaking as a self-taught photographer whose own pictures have been widely published for over 30 years, this book has explained much that I did not previously understand as well as, perhaps, I should have. Approx. A4 size, with one of the nicest dedications I have ever come across, there are 160 pages containing 150 colour illustrations which cover just about every spectrum of the subject. These include sport, natural history, portraits, people at work, landscapes, close up, mood shots - and a great deal more. As I said, something for just about everyone. NM

This review is from: Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film Or Digital Camera (Paperback)
If I had to credit one single book to developing my photography skills the most, it would be this one by a long shot. This book taught me how to get out of Auto mode on my rebel xt and into Manual mode where I have much more creative control.Learning to shoot in Manual (M) mode can be a long a drawn out progression for the beginner/amateur photographer but this book teaches you how to do it very simply, quickly and effectively. It is an easy read and very well presented. I could notice huge differences within a few days of reading it, and this is after doing photography for a year. See for yourself: www.billmartinphotography.ca There are over a hundred full color photos inside the book where each shot tells you the camera's setting so you can go out and try it yourself. I would reccommend this book to anyone from the creative "point and shoot" users to the advanced professionals. Enough talk, Just go buy it. Bill

Great Book,
By Novice Shutterbug (Alberta, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film Or Digital Camera (Paperback)
Although this book may at first be intimidating for someone who has never handled a SLR Camera, it is actually a thorough beginner's book. It is not overly "technical", although any book on exposure will be full of numbers when talking of aperture, shutter speeds, ISO settings, etc. Once you begin to get a grasp of these concepts, the reading is easy and enlightening. (no pun intended) For those with a little experience, this book will clear up many of the exposure mysteries that you may have faced. I think it is a "must read" for beginner to intermediate shutterbugs.
