 Very highly recommended February 19, 2006
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Excellent book. I have been shooting with a DSLR for a year+ and before that with P&S for many years.
What the author says is very true - I was focusing on getting a correct shot, not a creatively correct shot. Very simple techniques laid out with necessary caveats. The rule of 7 options is very insightful and easy to work with.
Overall, the book is a collection of many good techniques I had fleetingly heard about, but never knew the background of. With this book, I now know where I need to change.
Very good book.....
 Another Beginner winner by Peterson February 1, 2006

I received "Learning to See Creatively" as a gift.
It helped me so much that I decided to buy this other
book from Peterson. This book is just
as helpful. These books are for the beginner to SLR
or digitial SLR. Probably not as helpful for intermediate
or advanced photographer.
Good information, but a little dry... January 30, 2006
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book has good information for the novice to intermediate photographer abouut exposure, but it reads a little dry. I have tended to skip through the chapters looking for certain topics rather than reading from beginning to end, as it does not lend itself to sitting down and reading that way.
The information presented in the book is very helpful, however, and I have gained a lot from the lessons I have learned so far...
A great book even for experienced amateurs January 28, 2006
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book is obviously written for a wide audience with different equipment that includes film cameras, basic digital cameras (but possessing some type of manual control) and advanced digital SLRs. There were many useful points throughout the book covering the intelligent usage of shutter speed, aperture and metering. Concisely he reviews the basics of each and builds on them so that even an advanced amateur such as myself with my trusty Nikon D100 will have gained a greatly improved usage of each. The one downside to the book was the writing style was sometimes too simplistic and Mr. Peterson tried to cover too broad an audience. I highly recommend this book.
This is a great book! January 25, 2006

Being a home schooling mom, I am the type of person who knows how to use metaphors to explain things. They can make even the most complex of situations easier to understand and apply. That is what made this book so easy to follow and understand.
Simply written without being elementary, this book is great for beginning photographers and beyond!
The sample photos throughout the book are extremely helfpul in showing several techniques, and the step by step directions for applying those techniques are clear and complete.
Anyone struggling with the "technical" side of photography would not go wrong with this book!
