Description:
|
More than 100 vivid, graphic comparison pictures illustrate every point in this classic and can help any photographer maximize the creative impact of his or her exposure decisions. Peterson stresses the importance of metering the subject for a starting exposure and then explains how to use various exposure meters and different kinds of lighting. The book contains lessons on each element of the triangle and how it relates to the other two in terms of depth of field, freezing and blurring action, and shooting in low light or at night. A section on special techniques explores such options as deliberate under-and over-exposures, how to produce double exposures, bracketing, shooting the moon, and the use of filters. Understanding Exposure demonstrates that there are always creative choices about how to expose a picture - and that the decision is up to the photographer, not the camera.

This was one of the first books i read when i first got into photography. It is a real breeze to read without introducing to much jargon early on.
It starts with a chapter on 'Defining exposure' followed by chapters on Aperture, Shutter Speed, Light, Special techniques and filters and finally finishes off with a chapter on 'Film Vs Digital. Its full of great photographs demonstrating each technique or principle.
All in all a very good informative read although i doubt experienced togs would come away with much new knowledge. But for newcomers or the fairly new to the game its a must read, really liked this book
