Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera

About the Book

For serious amateur photographers who already shoot perfectly focused, accurately exposed images but want to be more creative with a camera, here’s the book to consult. More than seventy techniques, both popular and less-familiar approaches, are covered in detail, including advanced exposure, bounced flash and candlelight, infrared, multiple images, soft-focus effects, unusual vantage points, zooming, and other carefully chosen ways to enhance photographs. The A-Z format make sit easy for readers to find a specific technique, and each one is explained in jargon-free language. Top Tips for each technique help readers achieve superb results, even on the first attempt.

    Maybe if I had this book it wouldn’t be lame to show photos I made :( It’s time to show all those sceptical people that photo is even better art than others. What we shoot is created by nature, so it’s beautiful if not messed up by people who doesn’t know what exposure is :)
