"Excellent and beautiful book. More of a pretty pic book than a text on how and why." according to Tibbie. Beautiful book, and I would have given it five stars EXCEPT---I also got Bryans book "exposure problems and solutions" and realized that is the perfect book. This one has lots of info, but its more like beautiful pictures, and discussions about the scene, the scenario, what was going on at the time, and some basic info about who and how it was done. The other book is nuts and bolts. If you want to do this? you do this--and that is really more what I want and need. So through no fault of this book, I deducted one star because the "bar" was raised when I read that other book by t. "Be Willing to Think Outside the Box" according to Roger Moore. I read Bryan's first book, "Understanding Exposure" and thought it was one of the best photography books writtens. Therefore, when he came out with this one I didn't buy it because I didn't want to be disappointed with rehashes of photos I already saw or he just added a few points to concepts already covered in other books.I was on a photo safari when someone told me how much they enjoyed the book. Therefore, I decided to buy it. I was pleasantly surprised to see how he took something as basic as "shutter speed" and successfully held my interest for the entire book.Bryan catego. Patrick A. Rodriguez said Bryan has a lot to say. and I mean a lot. He's quick to give helpful hints and tips with clear vivid analogiesbut don't go and buy the book just yet. Those of you who are professionals or experienced amateurs will find this book lacking in very advanced techniques. It explains middle range basics (It won't tell you how to turn on the camera) on shutter speed for photography. Don't be surprised if at times you find the author almost appear to be bragging about his life and supposed success. However, it is still a good book for people that have little to no experience in taking their camera out of auto

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.
