 One of the best book for beginners and intermediate May 15, 2008
Bryan guide you throug the discovery of f/secrets and the right choiche for the shooting speed, with great and simple examples.
Very well made, a pleasure to read. You have to buy it if you are a beginner, you may consider to buy it if you are at an intermediate level.
BEST PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK I HAVE EVER READ! May 15, 2008
If you want to get off AUTO and PROGRAM mode, you MUST GET THIS BOOK! Since reading it I have not hardly set my camera to anything but MANUAL mode! For everything from outdoor shooting to indoor weddings, manual is the way to go!
My dream is to find a similar book to help with the harsh over exposing or heart breaking under exposing of external flash (i.e. speedlite) photography. Anyone have any recs? This book won't really help with flash photography, Bryan is mostly into natural lighting, which is great. But sometimes (a lot of times) you just have to power up the old flash unit.
This is a must have!!!! May 9, 2008
This book has improved my shooting skills. I rarely if ever ventured to the manual setting on my D300 before reading this book. Now I embrace the ability to have more flexibility then just shooting in Aperture or Shutter Priority modes.
Great beginner's book May 7, 2008
Having just made the jump from digital P&S to a dSLR, I bought this book on a friend's recommendation.
The author does a good job of explaining the basics of photography, something most of us using P&S cameras have little clue about.
The book was very informative and helpful. The pictures in the book are stunning (especially Bryon's smoking hot wife!), as should be expected in a book about photography.
If you're already knowledgeable about exposure, shutter speed, f-stops, etc, then this probably isn't the book for you.
However, if you're just getting started in real photography, I would highly recommend this book.
 understanding but still lost April 29, 2008
this book helps alot when it comes to the effects of exposure in photography. I'm still lost though. I can't seem to get my camera off the automatic setting yet. The book shows what happens at different settings it even gives examples of subtle changes. It clearly shows the results of changing the exposure settings and demonstrates alot of photos where the exposure is just OK but how to get the same photo to POP by adjusting exposure settings.
