Product Description

More than 100 vivid, graphic comparison pictures illustrate every point in this classic and can help any photographer maximize the creative impact of his or her exposure decisions. Peterson stresses the importance of metering the subject for a starting exposure and then explains how to use various exposure meters and different kinds of lighting. The book contains lessons on each element of the triangle and how it relates to the other two in terms of depth of field, freezing and blurring action, and shooting in low light or at night. A section on special techniques explores such options as deliberate under-and over-exposures, how to produce double exposures, bracketing, shooting the moon, and the use of filters. Understanding Exposure demonstrates that there are always creative choices about how to expose a picture - and that the decision is up to the photographer, not the camera.

This is a good book
This is a good book for understanding exposure, very detail-oriented. But for me, it's a little bit too technical. If anyone wants to explore into this area of interest, it's the book for you.

A Must Have for any photographer, hobbyist to pro...
I can't say enough about this book. Although I had a pretty good working knowledge of exposure before I read this book, I feel like I have a complete understanding now. Great images illustrate each point in the book. The chapters are well arranged and easy to read. You will not regret buying this one!
