Product Description

Exposure - the deceptively simple concept at the very heart of photography - has always been a subject of fascination to aspiring amateurs and professional photographers alike. Recent developments in digital technology have transformed the ways in which exposures can be manipulated, and this in turn has forced photographers to think about what they can acheive by understanding the variables of aperture, ISO and time. Michael Freeman takes the reader through this difficult and fast-moving area with a lucid and accesible method, using histograms and clear, visual examples to explore the subtleties of the subject and enable the reader to shoot with confidence.

6 out of 5!
This is the second Michael Freeman book I've read and this like the other is a fantastic read. It's quite involved so may not appeal to the casual photographer but defintely worthwhile for the serious photographer. After reading I have to admit that I thought I knew what correct exposure was but was way off the mark. I now have a much more detailed and richer understanding of what exposure means and it's had a direct impact on my photographs in subtle ways I wouldn't have appreciated before. Superbly illustrated with Michael's own photographs adds to the appeal of the book. This will be a book I will return to many times in the future.

Well focussed and highly informative
Excellent description of the fundamentals of exposure for digital photography. Proper emphasis on technical fundamentals but put into the context of the need for the photographer to decide what is wanted in advance of twiddling the knobs.

A new approach to exposure
This was recommended in a photo mag and I have to agree with their recommendation 100%. It is not a book for the rank amateur, there are concepts and ideas that are difficult to grasp but if like me you've been taking photos for a few years then it should be easy enough. The author writes well and explains his ideas clearly and includes plenty of example images. I've already put some of his ideas into practice and already I'm seeing a difference in my pictures. His other titles are definitely on my wish list.
