    Synopsis

    Peterson is a professional photographer, internationally known instructor, and author, living in the U.S. and France. Drawing on 30-plus years of experience taking pictures, he provides a practical guide covering "the photographic triangle"—the interrelationship between aperture, shutter speed, and film—that is at the heart of every exposure. Suitable for both novice and experienced photographers, the text is illustrated throughout with the author's own work, accompanied by detailed explanations of how he achieved each shot. Changes from the first to the revised edition are not stated. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

    June 24, 2009: Not very well laid out. Way too many pictures of his wife. Cheap printing makes the pictures look bad.

    April 27, 2009: LOVE this book -- for the first time, I don't feel like I'm being talked down to, or that the writer assumes I am already a professional photographer. What I learned about exposure in the first 30 minutes of reading this book is more than I ever understood before in over 30 years of avid photography. The photograph illustrations and examples are very helpful, and numerous. This book is something any serious amateur photographer should have in his or her permanent library, and it would probably be good for the experts out there, too. It gave me great confidence and understanding, and has inspired me to get out and try some of the different techniques, which are really not "techniques" at all -- just understanding CORRECT exposure. Which, as he says, is what photography is about. Highly recommend.
