Understanding Digital Photography: Techniques for Getting Great Pictures Reviews

  • Jiaying

    Instead of delving straight into the different photography terms, I appreciate that the author makes connections between ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed with the use of analogies. Now, I at least understand the reasoning behind why these few aspects are crucial (ref to Exposure Triangle) instead of just knowing the “What” or “How” aspect alone.

    It’s a fairly old book that I borrowed online from the NLB app, but he explains everything simply in a humble manner.

  • Dawn

    This book is ok for an overview of digital photography. Peterson's book on Exposure is better. Someday I'll pick up a copy.

  • Joanie

    I've learned a lot from this book. The author assumes you know a lot about your camera and photography, which I suppose you probably should if you have a SLR camera.

  • Melanie

    I cannot wait for some real "spring" weather and try his techniques on some great nature shots! Very much worth the time!!!

  • Joe

    Nothing new that's not in prior books by this prolific offer, but a good book to have in your arsenal of photo manuals.

  • Fakhra

    Photographer's MUST read book!

  • Peggy

    Interesting, easy to read, easy to understand. Throughout the book the author listed which lens, aperture, and shutter speed for every photograph!
