Customer Reviews

Great book
I bought this book and Understanding Shutter Speed by Bryan Peterson. I now have a handle on exposure and shutter speed. I also have a few more ideas how to use this knowledge. I recommend you read both books.

Beginning with an SLR
This book has been terrific for me as a new SLR owner. I have gone from a point and shoot camera to an SLR, not really understanding the differences. This book is concise and easy to understand, and I have used it in conjunction with my poorly written camera manual to learn basic photography. It gives easy to understand explanations of aperture, shutter speed, ISO and f-stops and gives examples of when and how to use each of them. I would recommend this book as a learning tool for beginners.

Great book
I am reasonably new to photography and out of all of the books I have read, this one would have to be one of the best. I have learnt so much from it.
