• 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.

    Don't buy electronic version

    The photos in the actual book are incredible and essential. The book is very helpful for anyone who has just got a DSLR or an advanced point and shoot camera.

    A good starting point for new photographers

    Thie exelent book is a good starting point for new photographers. It gives you some of the knowledge you will need to make your images better when just pointing and shooting doesnt work. You may also want to find a book on compesition and another on lighting. I wish I had read this book sooner.
