 A little too basic April 28, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The book is good, it tells you how to properly expose for different scenarios and effects but its explained too much. Its aimed for begginers so it can be a little boring for the ones that already know the basics. The pictures in the book look old and I didnt like that. Overall its a good book for learning from scratch or maybe catch a few extra tips that you may not already know as an intermediate photographer.
 This is the all-time greatest book on photography!!! April 28, 2008

I have read many photography books, and this book is my photography bible. It is suitable for beginners and intermediate. Both novice and intermediate photographers should not miss...
It contains theories and clear examples with clear explainations. Following assignments in this book provided, you will get more understanding on taking pictures.
exposure made easy April 25, 2008

the author keeps this so relavant. Is like being in the field with him, as he gives you the way his brain works and then helps you to get the camera set so you capture the image correctly. The exercises are helpful and fun, and with digital you can tell right away if you're on the right path or not...
His images are lovely, the tips he offers are very easy to comprehend and very useful, from setting the correct aperture, to tricks of the trade for action shots, macro and more. He also offers secrets of the pros to keep your images interesting and a bit off the beaten path so they are also noteworthy and memorable...
As someone who has been dabbling in photgraphy, correct exposure has always been a tough part of the technical side of the art for me, but Peterson makes it accessible to anyone

A great book. Excellent first time introduction to the "technicals" of photography or for those who had let their knowledge slip. The photos are stunning and Bryan writes in a style that is entertaining and informative. Highly recommended to those interested in photography at the beginners level.
Good resource for the beginner April 12, 2008

Although I've enjoyed taking pictures for years, I never really understood what I was doing. It was all the hit and miss approach. I bought this book several months ago as my first book in my attempt to understand HOW to take better pictures.
For a beginner like me I think this book is excellent at giving the reader an understanding of the basics of aperture, shutter speed and ISO. The information is presented in a way that it is easy to follow and his writing style also makes it fun.
I think this book was likely somewhat difficult to write (had to dumb-it- down for those of us who are getting started) and in that regard there are times when he could have explained things further. Regardless, this book has helped me "get it" and I find myself referring back to it often. I see myself buying additional books written by Bryan in the future. I would highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to work beyond the "hit and miss" approach to photography.
