 Not as impressed as most people, I guess. July 3, 2008
Maybe I should have gotten this book first thing, but I just don't see the big deal about this book, It was somewhat informative, but really not much I hadn't already read online or in other books. It doesn't have any of those ah-ha moments or anything that just makes exposure 'click'. Since this book was recommended to me, I thought there might be some valuable info that I have been missing in order to get that perfect exposure and it just wasn't in there.
I think this book is probably ok for your first photography learning tool, but if you have read other book and online through forums and such, you probably already know everthing this book has to offer.
 Excellent Book July 2, 2008
Excellent excellent book to learn from. Some parts of it are kind of technical for newbies (like me), but after taking the book outside with me and practising with my camera and the book at my side, it began to make sense. I've learned alot from reading this book. Would definately recommend it to beginner to enthusiast level photograpers.
I Didn't Understand The First Time Around July 1, 2008
When I first bought this book as an absolute beginner to photography (I didn't know the meaning of basic exposure terms, camera and lens features etc.) I couldn't get thru the book. I kept reading about photography from the internet and other books and six months later I gave the book another try. This time I breezed thru the book and found it gave me a very practical framework for putting together all of the info on exposure I had learned in the past six months.
I know experts can find fault with the content but the value of this book is in its teaching effectiveness. The book does a five star job of teaching its main subject -ISO, aperture and shutter speed. The effectiveness does depend on your skill level. This book maybe too challenging for an absolute beginner and too basic for more advanced photographers but if your skills are somewhere in between you will probably find it very useful.
This book is a keeper. I highly recommend it. It is one of my most valuable learning resources.
Great even for experienced photograpers! June 30, 2008
I am an experienced photographer and I found this book helpful. It is written very well so that photographers of many levels can get something out of it. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in perfecting their exposure.
I understand Exposure now! June 30, 2008
My three copies are worn out! When technology exist for a book to be transplanted into memory (my brain), this will be amoung the first photography books I choose to have implanted! Thanks for writing it.
