Rating  - Visually stunning, practical and easy to grasp.
I look through a lot of photography "how-to" books when I'm in Barnes and Noble or Borders and this one caught my eye. It is visually stunning, full of beautiful images, shot by the author himself.
Panning, zooming, low light, filters, "implying motion", shooting slow and deliberately blurry images...you will read about a wealth of choices that can help a photographer grow creatively. Peterson shows how blur can be just valid a choice as sharp in making an astounding photo.
There are some fun experiments in this book, such as creating "rain" with a sprinkler, and attaching a camera to a shopping cart to capture a child rolling through a grocery store aisle. The inventiveness found in the book makes it fun.
I would definitely recommend this book to both beginners and more advanced photographers.
Rating - What A Book Should Be!
If only more books were like this, illiteracy would vanish!
Instead of the same old stuff in the same dull way, this book covers some new information right off the bat, dispelling some common myths. It goes on to cover vital, pertinent information clearly, with illustrations (what else from a book on a photographic topic) that are remarkably well suited to the topics being discussed. Not only that, it is worth retaining as a reference in the unlikely event that some of the material needs a second time around.
Rating - Excellent reading!
Anything by Bryan Peterson is worth reading. I reference him to my students in my photography class.
Rating - Love this book
