Exposure has demystified the complex concepts of exposure for
countless photographers. Now updated with current technologies, more
than one hundred new images, and an all-new chapter, this new edition
will inspire you more than ever to free yourself from
“auto” and create the pictures you truly want.

In
his trademark easy-to-understand style, author Bryan Peterson explains
the relationship between aperture and shutter speed, including how to
achieve successful exposures in seemingly difficult situations.
You’ll learn:
• Which aperture gives you
the greatest contrast and sharpness, and when to use it 
/>• Which apertures guarantee the background remains an
out-of-focus tone 
• Which one
aperture—when combined with the right lens—creates an area
of sharpness from three feet to infinity 
• How
to creatively use shutter speed to either freeze an action or imply
motion 
• Where to take a meter reading when
shooting a sunset, snow, or a city at dusk

With new
information on white balance, flash, HDR, and more, this updated classic
will inspire you to stop guessing and take control of your settings for
better photos anytime, anywhere, and with any camera.
