Understanding Exposure is an invaluable guide to taking better photographs using today's sophisticated digital SLR and compact digital cameras.

Aimed at the novice or more experienced amateur photographer, jargon-free text explains the theory behind digital photography, how light metering affects exposure, light's relationship to color, colour temperature and white balance, focal points, and the expression of mood. Aperture, depth of field, and shutter speed are also thoroughly covered, along with chapters on ISO speeds, dynamic range, use of filters, and making in-camera adjustments.

Postprocessing techniques round off this guide to getting the best results from your photography.
