 Excellent Book for Novice and experts alike! September 15, 2008
This book is an excellent source for anyone wanting to get into Photography or already into it! The book breaks down the basics which enables you to understand how it all works together.
The best part of it, is the fact the author sends the reader into practice runs in order to solidify what has just been explained.
A must have for anyone!
Great for Beginners September 13, 2008
When I bought my Canon XTI 400D, I found out the hard way that taking pictures w/ a DSLR is harder then it looks. After doing some searching on the net, I came across reviews of this book and decided to pick it up. After reading it my pictures have gotten MUCH better. I'm still no expert but I'm not afraid to show off my pics any more.
Understanding Exposure is written for the photo newbie, but that isn't to say that everyone who is into photography couldn't learn a thing or two. If you want to take great pictures pick this book up. And get it from Amazon. It was shipped here so fast I wasn't expecting it!
 A very practical guide on exposure September 13, 2008
A very useful guide on how to achieve optimal exposure. Easy to read. Techniques easy to apply.
 parts helped me September 12, 2008

I think with the book, the best approach is to flip through it at the bookstore and see if the photos in it inspire you. Personally, I find the photos here to be too artsy for my taste. I bought the book shortly before diving into the DSLR world. The first chapters helped me a lot to understand the '3-legged stool' of exposure. My main interest was learning when to use what apertures and shutter speeds. I got what I need in that regard, but most of the book was wasted on me, but the styles of photos I want to take are vastly different than Bryan's. Personally, I found it a bit creepy that he used his wife and daughters in so many of the photos in this book.
Simply beautifully written September 12, 2008
I wanted a book to get me started on Exposures and how to apply them in my photography for awesome results. This book gave me that and much more!!! In this book, Bryan tried to keep both his technically minded and "just for the kicks" readers captivated. Most amazing is the way Bryan has used simple every day things that we can easily relate with to draw analogies in what would otherwise have been complex to understand topics (See pages 24 - 26 amongst others).
From the moment I picked up this book and started reading, I didn't put down the book, except the time I took off to write this review. I honestly wish there was a rating higher than 5 star
