Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)

If you wanna understand how to deal with light , this book explain it all in simply way !

i got one and it's my No. 1 reffrence!!

I bought this book and Understanding Shutter Speed by Bryan Peterson. I now have a handle on exposure and shutter speed. I also have a few more ideas how to use this knowledge. I recommend you read both books.

This book has been terrific for me as a new SLR owner. I have gone from a point and shoot camera to an SLR, not really understanding the differences. This book is concise and easy to understand, and I have used it in conjunction with my poorly written camera manual to learn basic photography. It gives easy to understand explanations of aperture, shutter speed, ISO and f-stops and gives examples of when and how to use each of them. I would recommend this book as a learning tool for beginners.

I am reasonably new to photography and out of all of the books I have read, this one would have to be one of the best. I have learnt so much from it.

After reading this book one can most definitely move from a simple point-and-shoot perspective on taking pictures to a more deliberate choice in the process. You'll definitely want a camera that will give you some control after this.
