 Fantastic book for DSLR beginners! September 13, 2008
In a nutshell - this is everything you need as a DSLR beginner. Concise, to the point, and, quite simply, well explained. You won't get better. Buy this book if you want to progress quickly and understand the manual settings on your DSLR.
 Good starter text September 4, 2008
While the bias of this book leans heavily towards 35mm film cameras, with a vague nod in the direction of digital, it's still a worthwhile read. The information on aperture, shutter speed and ISO may be familiar enough, but the material on metering and exposure compensation is extremely interesting, not to mention useful. While Peterson's tendency to boast gets a little tiring (his comments discussing how he took a particular shot would be fine, if he didn't insist on showing off how quickly/well he'd done it) and occasionally his tone veers into patronising, but he clearly knows his stuff and manages to put it across in an informative and practical way. The book is reasonably useless unless you have a camera that allows you a high degree of control over settings, but if you have either a film or digitial SLR, I'd recommend you start with this text as an introduction.
Definetly a Great Book for Learners. August 27, 2008

If you're new to digital photography or you think that you don't know the basics about exposure, which is very important for good pictures, you should definitely buy this book. I learned a lot about its theory. However it doesn't only tell about the theory itself but also gives practical tips and tricks, which help you understand how some wonderful pictures are taken. There are some exercises Bryan Peterson suggests doing and I found them very useful. Even if you are not able to do everything he says at the time of reading, there are pictures which show the results. So you can take it with you and read on the bus.
It almost tells about everything but if you need a night or low light photography book it only tells about it a few pages. So if I feel I need more information about it, I would buy a different book.
I'm very glad to buy it and it'll be always a good reference for me.
If you're advanced photographer, you should already know about exposure and you should already take most of your pictures with correct exposures. So this is not a book for you.
Excellent book August 18, 2008
I bought this book only based on its good reviews and I was not disappointed. It is written in simple, easy to understand language, it is illustrated with amazing pictures and it is full of good tips. Buy it !
Photography Exposed! July 25, 2008

I cannot believe how much I have learnt from this fantastic book. Although I've had it for quite a while, on a spur of the moment I picked it off my bookshelf yesterday and literally couldn't put it down again until I had finished it today!
With my camera by my side as I read within moments I was out testing the suggestions for manual mode, something I had never dared try before. Over the course of the evening I captured some of my best ever portraits of my children and was honestly astounded by how easy it was.
Bryan is obviously a very talented photographer and teacher and his photos and explanations are testament to this.
If you crave information on exposure and really want to try working on manual and feeling like a real pro this is one book not to miss. I know I'll certainly be returning to it time and time again.
