Aimed at the more experienced amateur photographer, this concise guide
explains the fundamentals of exposure and how varying three
parameters--shutter speed, aperture and ISO--can be used creatively and
practically to determine correct exposure, but deliver substantially
different results. The mechanics of exposure are discussed: the nature
of light and how metering affects exposure; light's relationship to
color; the importance of white balance; the use of flash; an
appreciation of dynamic range; and the ability to read histograms.
Illustrated with the author's own stunning images, the book analyzes the
effects of exposure on portrait, landscape, night and low-light
photography, and when capturing action and sports images. Post
processing techniques in the digital darkroom round off this invaluable
guide to getting the best results from your photography.
