In this exciting update to the first edition of Exposure: From
Snapshots to Great Shots (9780321741295)—which has sold over
20,000 net units since its 2010 release—Jeff Revell fully
refreshes the book to include new images and new techniques.
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, and
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. Additionally,
Jeff covers techniques that many DSLRs now have helpfully built
into their hardware, such as panoramas, in-camera HDR, and even
time-lapse photography.
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.
