4.0 out of 5 stars True understanding is a rare gift - packaged nicely in this book, 11 Jul 2008

By	Photocritic.org "- Haje" (London, UK) - See all my reviews

Peterson skips the basics and the theory behind exposure - for which I'll be forever grateful, because frankly, it's not that exciting. Instead, the whole book is filled with a vast number of breathtakingly gorgeous photographs (about 160 pages worth, which means around 150 photographs or so, I think), and a fair chunk of text.

What's unique about this book, though, is that the text largely shies away from the theory, and instead takes you along on a journey, explaining the what, why, and how in a language that anyone can understand easily.

Throughout the book, you'll get examples and suggestions about how you can use fast and slow shutter speeds to freeze action, imply motion, and capture photographs at night. It talks about panning, speed, and comes with some fanciful ideas about how you can capture great photos by fixing your camera to a moving object (a broom or a shopping trolly are but two examples of getting funky photos).

Pretty damn good, and highly recommended.
