 Not up to date - more for film than digital December 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I was hoping to broaden my knowledge of exposure, spot metering, how to meter, how meters work, however this book is more about of a series of pictures with camera setting details, rather than an educational tutorial . If you are a total beginner it might worth it, not for advanced photographers. Also, I was under the impression that it's more for film shooters than the digital. Quite poor and not up to date.
 Buy this one! December 8, 2008
After a long time away from SLR's I needed a quick refresher and this relatively inexpensive book wipes the floor with other more expensive ones I purchased. Its easy to read, has practically everything you need to know. The practice lessons are very useful too. It helped me enormously and I'm sure beginners and old hands alike will find it indispensable. If there were 6 stars I'd give them.
Superb for the beginner to DSLR October 28, 2008

I cannot emphasise enough how well this book sets out the basics of DSLR photography. I am on my first DSLR and to be honest knew nothing about aperture, shutter speed and ISO and how the 3 interelate. This book sets these out so clearly that the layman can understand. Been wondering how/when to use the P, M, A or S buttons on your camera
?, This explains it perfectly, and gives nice glossy examples of a scene when you would use f/4 vs f/22. I also have the David Busch book to "replace" the manual, but this far exceeds what you can learn from that. Both good books in their own right.
Fantastic book for DSLR beginners! September 13, 2008

In a nutshell - this is everything you need as a DSLR beginner. Concise, to the point, and, quite simply, well explained. You won't get better. Buy this book if you want to progress quickly and understand the manual settings on your DSLR.
 Good starter text September 4, 2008

While the bias of this book leans heavily towards 35mm film cameras, with a vague nod in the direction of digital, it's still a worthwhile read. The information on aperture, shutter speed and ISO may be familiar enough, but the material on metering and exposure compensation is extremely interesting, not to mention useful. While Peterson's tendency to boast gets a little tiring (his comments discussing how he took a particular shot would be fine, if he didn't insist on showing off how quickly/well he'd done it) and occasionally his tone veers into patronising, but he clearly knows his stuff and manages to put it across in an informative and practical way. The book is reasonably useless unless you have a camera that allows you a high degree of control over settings, but if you have either a film or digitial SLR, I'd recommend you start with this text as an introduction.
