THE best book on learning exposure March 28, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

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.

I bought this book thinking that I could pick up the odd tip here and there. How wrong I was, this is a fantastic, logical, well laid out book. The author splits the apertures into the three groups, deals with each group, demonstrates with photo shots just how easy it can be. I recall looking at one photo of a man sat in a chair inside a house by the window, most people including myself would have metered his face, which was incorrect, when I saw what the author had metered, I sat back, thought about it , and it became crystal clear what the author is trying to tell us. Don,t hesitate, just buy it.
