With "Understanding Exposure", Bryan Peterson gives the amateur photographer an indispensable tool and learning guide. With the help of full color photos taken with different settings as well as clear and concise descriptions and explanations of technique mr Peterson gives the reader an easily understandable introduction to the world of exposure.
Because of the great detail in which the different photo situations and techniques are covered it is indeed very easy to go out and reproduce the photos from the book (well, that kind of photo anyway) yourself after reading.
This book gave me much more knowledge about photography than I would have expected it possible. It definitely helped me progress as a photographer.
Highly recommendable.

| THE best book on learning exposure | |

I've bought a number of books on various subjects relating to photography and post processing. None have given me the same enjoyment as Understanding Exposure. I bought this book a couple of years ago and I still use it.
This book explains in very simple terms everything you need to know about your camera's exposure and metering. He also gives great examples on how to meter scenes which you can try yourself.
Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO are all inter related and many have a problem grasping these photography basics but this book makes it easy to understand the relationship and helps you make the right decisions to get the best from your photography.
This book has had the single most influence on me enjoying my hobby (and now work)!
For a man that has been shooting images for less than two weeks (buy the book and you'll understand why) Bryan's experience and beautiful imagery is a joy to behold.
Outstanding book and if you want to learn photography this is THE book to buy first. If I could, I'd give it 10 out of 5

A superb book that explains a relatively complex subject really well. I've been taking my photography more seriously of recent years and this book has been a major help in taking it to the next level.
A great reference to have and very inspiring.

This is an awesome book. I have learnt more from this than any other single book on photography. A definite buy for newbies and even keen amatuers. Some might find some of the text a bit twee - but its well worth putting up with that for the pearls of wisdom.

Concepts of photography made very clear and easy to grasp. Well written with useful tips and some nice photographs. I only gave it 4-stars as it is the only book on photography I own and so do not have anything else to compare it to.
