“Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera” (Updated Edition) by Bryan Peterson is a book for serious amateur photographers who already shoot accurately exposed, perfectly focused images but want to be more imaginative with a camera.

There are over seventy techniques, both popular and less-familiar approaches, which are covered in detail, including multiple images, zooming, soft- focus effects, advanced exposure, bounced flash and candlelight, infrared, unusual vantage points, and other carefully selected ways to enhance your photographs. The A-Z format makes it easy for readers to find specific techniques, and each one is explained in a user friendly language. Paperback retails for around $24.95
