This book is the 3rd edition revised and updated which guides the reader on how to shoot great photographs with any camera.It begins with a discussion of what exposure means and then moves on to define the photographic triangle: Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO with the writer emphasizing the role each of these factors play separtely and intertwined to produce a good exposure. Each topic is defined by the page it is found inside the book rather than dividing it into chapters. From page 40, Aperture and depth of field are discussed in simple language that the reader will understand with clear pictures used as examples.
The importance of shutter speed is discussed in page 78 with emphasis on freezing motion, panning and implying motion.
From page 100, the writer talks about the importance of light in photography as well as the different types of light e.g front light,overcast light,sidelight and backlight.
The rest of the book deals with filters , special techniques and flash photography.
I bought this book from Waterstones in London in April 2011 and have found it to be a very important resource for my Photography. In fact the write-ups on light and types of light have been very useful in my understanding of this topic which am treating presently in my exercise.
I wholeheartedly would recommend the book to anyone interested in knowing more about exposures and light.
