More of a pretty pic book than a text on how and why.By TibbieBeautiful book. and I would have given it five stars EXCEPT---I also got Bryans book "exposure problems and solutions" and realized that is the perfect book. This one has lots of info. but its more like beautiful pictures. and discussions about the scene. the scenario. what was going on at the time. and some basic info about who and how it was done. The other book is nuts and bolts. If you want to do this? you do this--and that is really more what I want and need. So through no fault of this book. I deducted one star because the "bar" was raised when I read that other book by the same author. I mean you have to make a judgment and do so based on some information---and I think that was a fair assessment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A book that even serious experienced photographers can learn fromBy YodaAny review of this book would have to start with answering the question of "who is this book geared towards?" The answer is to anyone over and above the very novice. The author. Mr. Peterson. in this book assumes that the reader is already very familiar with concepts such as depth of field. camera shake resulting from slow shutter speeds. etc.The book. in short. provides a large number of "hints" and advice regarding the use of shutter speeds in many different situations. Most of these are known to advanced photographers but there are quite a few that are not. Many are quite unique and innovative. Hence the learning experience and value of this book to even this group of photographers. To these just about the beginner stage the advice would be far more valuable. This reviewer wishes it was available when he was first starting out.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great Topic Focused BookBy Kindle CustomerHaving read Bryans book Understanding Exposure (excellent book) I realized that I understood shutter speed. but was not comfortable with it in practice. This book changed that for me and I now started attempting some of the unique shutter speed related techniques detailed in the book.
