Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)

If you are clueless in photography (SLR) and wants to learn the basic, this is the first book that you need to read!
Very detailed and informative. Easy to understand for the average persons.
Highly recommended.

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.

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!

I understood what shutter speed, aperature and ISO did but I never grasped how the three worked together until I got just a few pages into this book. Just that alone was worth the money for me - he explained it so simply! I have read other books and articles but they only talked about what settings they used not how the settings worked together.

We recently took a trip to New York City and although I didn't take a tripod I got some great photos both day and night. Not professional quality yet but the best I have ever taken and more importantly, out of 500+ shots I only took a couple on auto mode!

Great book!

Another top quality book by Bryan Petterson.
I have now purchased his other, complimentry book "Understanding Shutter Speeds", and the quality does not stop.

Wonderful photos which compliment well written, well laid out text. Makes understanding and learning from this book very easy and enjoyable. This book is actually very hard put down!

Highly recommended. You will not be disapointed.
