at the end of last year i bought a second professional quality lens and for christmas asked for and received a top of the line external flash. so my combined camera equipment is now worth more than my laptop. as a result, i feel compelled to step up my photographic game. i looked around for a highly regarded photography book and no other book i read about was as highly regarded as “understanding exposure”. this is an excellent treatise on photography and a bit of eat your heart out as bryan peterson taunts you with all the wonderful places he’s been and includes bikini shots of his attractive wife.

from the author: i know of no other way to consistently make correct exposures than to learn how to shoot a fully manual exposure.
