Meet Adrian Try

Adrian Try

Adrian, our Audiotuts+ legend, is our only locally based Tuts+ editor – though I use the word ‘local’ loosely, since Adrian lives in a much sunnier and more tropical part of Australia than we do! He’s a writer and musician with a passion for everything open source. Adrian also has six kids, one of which works for Envato – though he refuses to let us say who ;)

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.
