Understanding Exposure

I have just got this book, having just bought a 450d. And wow. He really does it make it easy to grasp. 30 pages in, and I pretty much no the basics know

All but grasped Aperture and Shutter Speeds , just need to get hold of ISO now :eek:

What's the ISBN for the book? Sounds like a good read

(I know it's been recommended before, just thought I'd look into it now)

I got this book a couple days ago after seeing the recommendations, he's very good at explaining things in plain english.

I've got this on order as well - seems to be the most recommended book on AVF.

Got this for Christmas, although it arrived late (Waterstones) as it was out of print. Looking forward to a good read.

Not if you have the revised version.

Still waiting on mine coming on the slow boat from America. Somehow dad managed to order it from America rather than in the UK. I guess it'll be a belated xmas present when it turns up!

I did exactly the same

I didnt want to wait so I went and got it from Waterstones, cost a bit more but I don't mind! Will be reading it as soon as I finish a web usability book I'm currently reading!
Comes recommended by everyone though!

It's a great book, nicely complemented by Light: Science and Magic which is a bit more involved but an excellent read particularly for anyone looking to use a flash more seriously.
