 right to the point. March 4, 2010

I feel it is a solid book on topic. The photos are tremendous. The text does a very good job of covering the mix between exposure and shutter speed. It also covers the depth of field relationship to exposure. His books are all solid well written texts. I spent years and years in film with none of the gadgets in exposure that digital cameras allow for use. He reminded me of what that experience means in using exposure as a part of the art of photography.
Easy to read, and makes one look at the use of exposure to create the effect that one wants to capture. Good reminder tool for new or experienced.
 Just What I Needed February 28, 2010

I purchased this book based on the other reviews I had read. I'm quite the "newbie" at a DSLR camera and hoped this book would help me understand the mechanics of photography and my camera. It did both -- and in a very easy to understand way. I see it as being a continual reference also as it is quite comprehensive.
After I had already ordered the book I visited our local library which had a copy of it. Yeah, I could have just always checked it out whenever I wanted to reference something in the book, but I'm much happier knowing that I have my own copy. Again, very well done.
Surprisingly & Extremely Happy February 21, 2010

Always enjoy taking pics. I recently bought my first DSLR - Canon Rebel Ti1. I am very much a beginner who struggles to understand Aperture, Shuttle Speed, ISO, and my advanced DSLR camera features. On my quest to expand my knowledge, I went to Amazon. It search engine points me to Scott Kelby's book "Digital Photo". Too take the advantage of Amazon free shipping, I decided to add on this Bryan Peterson's book - that is, not my first choice. However, to my total surprise, I extremely enjoy reading this book. Even as a slow reader, I almost finish reading it in just one weekend. It is very easy to understand, very concise, with good illustration. I feel much smarter now, armed with knowledge learned from this book. I could have paid hundreds of dollar for beginner seminar just to get the same result as this $16 book.
I took several pics in manual mode last night in my dark room, under difficult lightning, and quickly saw good results. I now know what a perfect exposure means and how to get it. Going forward, what I need is to turn off the auto mode of my camera, get more practice with Av, Tv, & ISO, to achieve the consistency. Looking forward to read more of Mr. Peterson's books.
