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.

Recommended for beginners in photography
If you are clueless in photography (SLR) and wants to learn the basic, this is the first book that you need to read!
Very detailed and informative. Easy to understand for the average persons.
Highly recommended.
Cheers

 This is a good book
This is a good book for understanding exposure, very detail-oriented. But for me, it's a little bit too technical. If anyone wants to explore into this area of interest, it's the book for you.
A Must Have for any photographer, hobbyist to pro...
I can't say enough about this book. Although I had a pretty good working knowledge of exposure before I read this book, I feel like I have a complete understanding now. Great images illustrate each point in the book. The chapters are well arranged and easy to read. You will not regret buying this one!
Finally I get it!
I understood what shutter speed, aperature and ISO did but I never grasped how the three worked together until I got just a few pages into this book. Just that alone was worth the money for me - he explained it so simply! I have read other books and articles but they only talked about what settings they used not how the settings worked together.
We recently took a trip to New York City and although I didn't take a tripod I got some great photos both day and night. Not professional quality yet but the best I have ever taken and more importantly, out of 500+ shots I only took a couple on auto mode!
Great book!
Excellent
Another top quality book by Bryan Petterson.
I have now purchased his other, complimentry book "Understanding Shutter Speeds", and the quality does not stop.
Wonderful photos which compliment well written, well laid out text. Makes understanding and learning from this book very easy and enjoyable. This book is actually very hard put down!
Highly recommended. You will not be disapointed.
