Must Read for Beginners!   2010-07-19
By CMI
I'm currently enrolled in my first basic (digital) photography class at my local art institution. After my first class I realized that photography is much more scientific than I thought! I decided to get this book hoping that it facilitate my learning. It totally did! Peterson's writing style is consistent, clear and easy to read without comprimising his obvious expertise. He writes as if he is teaching you verbally in a real class. The ordering of the material feels a natural flow. Not to mention the fabulous examples he provides with his own images. (I especially love how he provides the actual metadata for EVERY image which is very helpful for future reference). Great book...highly recommend!
Go a little deeper in Exposure....and enjoy the author's evident Love for image making.   2010-07-10
By L. Perry (Tennessee)
So, you know you use a larger aperture for a shorter depth of field. And you know large apertures have small numbers. But would you like to know why that is? Do you already know? If, indeed, you know these basic principles but not 'why' they exist, then you remind me of me, and I think you'll like this book. The photos are great, the book dimensions show them off well, and the descriptions are fantastic. It's not a dry, dull technical book...not does it overdo the, um, humor (ahem, Scott Kelby....). But it makes exposure make sense of a deeper level. Of course, if you don't an know aperture from a hand grenade, you'll probably like this, too. But, you don't have to be 'that clueless' to get something from this book. For me, it's reinforcing things I already know and helping me understand them a little more...and inviting me to really use my knowledge. The author evidently loves to shoot, and that enthusiasm is infectious. Don't worry that's it's too easy or too hard for you; just read it. I think it's been around forever...and books that stay in print that long tend to do so for a reason. (Recommended for film and digital, I will add that I am reading the revised edition, 2004, and am delighted that there is more information on digital than I expected. I do remain curious about the upcoming August 2010 edition, though.)

I am a beginner and I try to get my hands on as many photography books as I can. Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson is not the first photography book I have read but this book is where I really learned! It doesn't use complicated terms and is direct to the point.

Bryan Peterson does a great job in review in the first part of the book that most who are reading it will appreciate it for what it is. Very interesting ideas for creating that perfect photo combining use of ISO, shutter speed and aperture. Most informative. I purchased this book used and was in like new condition.
Excellent book - every photographer should own a copy!   2010-06-28
By J. Armstrong
This is an excellent book. In fact, I need to read it again. At first, some of the lingo may be over your head if you are just getting into photography but it's well worth the read. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in photography - it's one of the best books out there!
