Top Tips for each technique help readers achieve superb results, even on the first attempt.

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - great book!
This is a great book. Covers how to put together a perfect exposure very well. Are you tired of always struggling becuase there just wasn't enough light in that shot? You just had a bit too much blur then you wanted? You just don't understand how shutter speed, film speed and aperature work together and which one should be modified for this particular shot? Then read this book and have fun shooting in manual mode from now on and stop hoping that auto mode will get the picture right. :)



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good read, bad print quality
This was a very informational book and I learned from it, but the photos are of horrible print quality due to a poor selection in publishing.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Exceptionally Well-Written Book!
I had read a couple of other books on digital photography, although they were not specific to "exposure", but have to say that this book goes above and beyond those others (but they were good in their own rights). Bryan Peterson does an unbelievable job explaining the difference between a "correct" exposure and an "artistically correct" exposure.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Must read for any newer photographer wanting to understand exposure
Great book clearly illustrating basic exposure principles. Explains clearly and illustrates with images all of the major aspects of exposure. A must read for any beginning photographer wanting to understand exposure (whether shooting film or digital--I shoot digital only), and a good brush up for intermediate photographers.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Very good book.
Author explains all details in plain English with some very useful practical tools to use in field. The book helped me to understand better the "secrets" of correct exposure. There is a lot of information and I'm reading it for second time now to memorize all the tricks and setups.
I would highly recommend it to all amateur photographers and even pros'.
