User Reviews about Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)
I really cannot recommend this book enough. It's amazing! I learned so much from it including some unexpected but fun techniques in addition to the most important basic pieces of knowledge you need to handle a camera. Basically, it taught me what ISO is, which no other article, blog or book had done successfully. I had pretty much ruled out ISO as something that I didn't understand but had to keep low to avoid noise. But yeah, this is one of the many things explained, of course. :) I do think that a very, very simple understanding of photography may be wanted to follow this one like a breeze. It's a little bit more technical, which is great, and it's still totally accessible for anyone. You just might not follow as well if you know absolutely nothing about cameras. :) I also highly recommend Scott Kelby's digital photography books, they're even more accessible, but then again they don't give you quite as much understanding of your camera! Another plus is that the book itself is great, it's quite large and it's filled with beautiful photos by the author. One thing I found really great is that the aperture, shutter speed, ISO and focal length information are all marked up for every single photo in the book. It's great to see the techniques in action and really grow comfortable with all these settings and beginning to understand when to use what. So yeah, definitely recommend this book. It'll be completely worth your while. An absolute must if you are a beginner photographer. :) -- Fantastic book
I really liked this book when I got it from the library, which must have had an older version or printing. The book I received was about the size of a piece of paper. The photos aren't nearly as helpful when they're so small. It's a great book, but given that it's a photography book it's kind of waste to make it so small. Try to get an older, larger printing. -- This version/printing is too small
This is a great book, it taught me about exposure theory and practice when it comes to photography. However with some caveats; a new edition is coming out so you might wait to check it out. this book as more oriented for analog cameras with spot metering while this is great as it was an important step in the evolution of photography, most if not all dSLRs have a very complicated matrix systems now that bypasses some of the tips and tricks in this book. However knowing the theory will probably enhance your understanding for exposure which is what this book is all about. I'm actually considering reading the new edition when it comes out as I really enjoyed my reading for this edition. -- the book that explained exposure to me
book in fine shape, however, i expected the most current version. this was a very dated version, wouldn't buy again from this seller. -- old version, not as anticipated
Exposure it one of the hardest technical things to learn about in taking high quality photographs. I learned it in High School in the 70's with an excellent teacher, and in College. I went on to really understand exposure and apply it on every photo. Today I am teaching Adult Ed Classes at the college on Digital SLR photography and I found this book perfect to help students grasp the concepts of exposure. I like the authors explanations and analogies, they make sense and make learning exposure more accessible to newer photographers. Even seasoned pros can use a refresher and a book to help fill in the gaps, and this book helps there too. This is not a super advanced guide, but very good basics for a foundation of taking better photos by understanding exposure. -- Excellent Book Taking a hard subject and helping make sense of it
