Gem of a book July 30, 2010

Having read several of Bryan's others books I was familiar with his style and was looking forward to another good read. As others have mentioned- if you have read Understanding Exposure (which I also highly recommend), you will find much of the same information (and even photos) throughout. This book does go beyond that though and even though I recognized much info from the UE book, I still found loads of helpful information. UE goes into more detail regarding aperture, shutter speed and ISO choices. This book gives you a moderate overview of these items and adds features about doing macro work, composition and other topics. This book will go in my permanent collection for me to refer to often. I also appreciate Bryan's writing style- I am being taught but not over my head and in a friendly language.
Bottom line, if you've read UE I'll give this 3.5 stars for the overlap. If you have not read UE I give it 5 stars.

Easy read, concise and helpful. Made me a much better photographer. Plan to buy his upcoming revised book on Exposure.

Others have covered the details describing this book so I won't bother - except to say I agree. For me, this book has been an inspiration and an awakening of both latent and forgotten skills. (I'm an old guy.)
I should mention that this book is limited to outdoor still photography. It contains no instruction for studio portrait photography or commercial product photography. But Bryan Peterson is a truly gifted teacher/author. This book is intended as simply an outdoor field guide - a do as you read book.
I'm so impressed that I ordered two more of Peterson"s books. They'll be available next month: the 3rd Edition of his "Understanding Exposure" and his "Beyond Portraiture."
With study (and daily picture making) my photographs are really improving. I would recommend this book to anyone seriously interested in improving their photographs.

Best book on Photography I have read in a long time. I wish I had this book years ago. It would have prevented a lot of mediocre photographs and perhaps led to some more memorable. Well organized and illustrated with examples. Highly recommended. Peterson has several other less complete but more focused (no pun intended) books as well, but this is my favorite.

Much of the content in this book is also found in Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. What is especially nice about this book though is it is small enough to carry anywhere with you. It is perfect for answering those questions that arise when out shooting photos. Would highly recommend this book for its portability and excellent content.
