Book Reviews of Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second

Book Review: The best yet!
Summary: 5 Stars

I believe that I have read everything that Bryan Peterson has written and I even use his digital photography book in my photo classes.
This is his best book to date; he really looks at all aspects of shutter speed in almost any photographic situation. I had hoped that this book would be up to his previous photo books, but it is even better!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it the first time and I find myself going back to it again and again to review specifics. A real wealth of information!

Summary of Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second

The first book in the Understanding Photography series, Understanding Exposure, was a runaway best-seller, with more than 250,000 copies sold. Now author Bryan Peterson brings his signature style to another important photography topic: shutter speed. With clear, jargon-free explanations of terms and techniques, plus compelling "before-and-after" photos that pair a mediocre image (created using the wrong shutter speed) with a great image (created using the right shutter speed), this is the definitive practical guide to mastering an often-confusing subject. Topics include freezing and implying motion, panning, zooming, exposure, Bogen Super Clamps, and rendering motion effects with Photoshop, all with helpful guidance for both digital and film formats. Great for beginners and serious amateurs, Understanding Shutter Speed is the definitive handy guide to mastering shutter speed for superb results.
