This is the third in Earl Brechlins series of small books featuring color reproductions of antique postcards. Captions opposite each historic card describe the images; most of which date from 1900 to 1930.

Got a GREAT education from this book--its a "must-have!"By SharonI have learned so much from this book; it is an excellent resource for anyone who really wants to understand the nuts and bolts of taking great pictures and deepen their knowledge of photography. I recently stepped up to a DSLR and decided to become more serious about understanding my camera and developing my photography skills. Ive purchased several books over the last six months; beginning with an introductory to digital photography with Jim Miotkes book from Betterphoto; and a David Buschs book for my specific camera (also highly recommended--the user manuals that come with cameras are awful). I also bought a book on landscape shooting (Fitzharris) and Sean Arbabis book on exposure. Reading all of them has given me quite an education; but Seans book; The Betterphoto Guide to Exposure; was particularly good at helping everything come together and make sense. If you really want to capture great photos and would rather spend your time out-n-about taking pictures instead of sitting in front of a computer "photoshopping" them; this book will get you on the right track. It offers a plethora of specific information on aperture and shutter speed and how they work together along with the metering capabilities of your camera (and you) to produce a properly exposed photo. After reading this book thoroughly and going back to it as a reference; I now choose to shoot most of my pictures in manual. I actually find it easier than fiddling with exposure compensation and other adjustments in the more automated modes of my camera. Ive had many "lightbulb moments" reading this book and continue to do so as my experience has grown; I find myself referring back to it regularly. I cant say enough about the educational value of this book--and the pictures within it are beautiful as well. Thanks Sean for making a better photographer out of me!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. WONDERFUL;WONDERFUL;WONDERFULBy Old DudeGreat book to learn from I have a lot of the books in the series. I have used the books to learn photography. The format is very good I like the fact that at the end of each lesson you have an assignment or two to do. The books are easy to understand not complicated written for the average joe on the street and filed with lots of encouragement. The books are written by professionals. so the person knows the subject they are writing about. I use the books also for reference so dont get ride of them when you finish it. I have been using the book for the past 3 years. ( Amphoto books are wonderful) 3 years a go I wanted to learn Photography not just take pictures so I tried to find a class. could not. But with this book and the others in the series I put together a course of study for myself to take me to were I want to be.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Greatest book on exposureBy John RhodesThis is; IMHO; the BEST book; for a self learner; to understand exposure in a simple way.Ive taken classes; I have done self study; but it wasnt until I ran across this book that I really got it.I got my copy from "Texas Book Babe". The service was great and the order shipped super fast.Plus I got a hand written note on my shipping invoice. What more could you want.
