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

Book Review: What a fantastic book...really.
Summary: 5 Stars

This is by far in my 10 years as a hobby photographer the best instructional, sample oriented, informative read I have come across. Since my purchase of this book by Bryan Peterson I have purchased 2 additional titles authored by him, Learning to See Creatively: Design, Color & Composition in Photography, as well as Beyond Portraiture: Creative People Photography. If either of these books are representative of the Understanding Exposure title, I will have certainly found my favorite Photography book author. With many examples given, reasoning for why pictures were taken and the thoughts represented for the composition given for each photo in this book, this book is a wealth of knowledge for any photographer at any skill level. Instead of being lost in a sea of complicated verbiage and theory, Bryan writes in a straight forward manner that is easily understood and absorbed. This is the 9th photography related book I have purchased and by far has been the best.
