Book description
Now that you've bought an amazing new DSLR, you need a book that
goes beyond the camera manual to teach you how to take great shots,
and that begins with understanding the fundamental principles of
great photography.
With Exposure: From Snapshots to Great Shots, popular
photographer Jeff Revell starts with the basics of light, including
how it works, and how to see it. In order to leverage this new
understanding of light in your photography, Jeff walks the reader
through one of the most important photographic principles--the
exposure triangle: ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture. Learning to apply
these three elements together is the gateway to both technical and
creative control of your photography.
The book covers all key camera features that affect exposure
(regardless of what type of DSLR you have) including aperture
priority mode, shutter priority mode, and exposure compensation.
Throughout the course of the book, the reader will gain an
understanding of exposure for many different situations, such as
taking portraits, action shots, landscapes, and more. Beautifully
illustrated with large, vibrant photos, this book teaches you how
to take control of your photography to get the image you want every
time you pick up the camera.
