Recently, while reading one of the blogs that I follow, I read a comment about a highly recommended photography book called Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson, an easy to understand explanation of the basics of photography. I was intrigued as I love photography, and I have learned a great deal in the last few years and improved my photos, but I still don’t feel like I understand enough about the technical aspect of taking a good photo with the correct exposure. So, I looked up Understanding Exposure and was so impressed by the glowing reviews that I decided to buy it. Last night I started to read and couldn’t put the book down, so my blog became second on the priorty list LOL. Hope you don’t mind another short and sweet entry.
Yesterday I showed you some photos of the former main entrance to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto, Ontario, which is a beautiful example of neo-Byzantine style architecture, and you may recall that the windows were made of stained glass. I thought you might enjoy seeing a close-up of the stained glass windows with the light shining through. Isn’t it beautiful?

Yes, it is beautiful. Happy reading!
Thanks!! This book is so amazing. Suddenly, everything makes perfect sense to me! Oh, how I love books :).
Yes, it’s like a kaleidoscope – amazing! 🙂
It does look like a kaleidoscope!! Imagine if it moved like a kaleidoscope when you looked at it :).
I think that’s the ebook I just bought and read. 🙂
What did you think of it? I’m only a couple of sections in, but I just find that everything makes so much more sense now. He explains concepts in such a way that he makes it seem easy :).

I just looked again, and mine is Understanding Exposure and the Histogram by Andrew Gibson. It was good–very lay friendly and only about 2.25 on Kindle. The free on-line photography school has been really helpful. The more you read the more layers of understanding you get. It takes a while to all soak in. I’ll link it to you.
Thank you so much! You know what’s really funny? I actually have that website as one of my open tabs on my browser, but I haven’t had a chance to check it out. Now I definitely will :).
where did you find the book?
I got it at Chapters. I actually found a digital copy of it online, but I liked it so much that I wanted to be able to highlight stuff and have it at my fingertips all the time.
Where did you get the digital copy? I am always looking to learn
I found a torrent and downloaded it. I could email it to you if I could figure out how to make it smaller LOL. It’s a huge file, and I zipped it to try and send it to my Mom, but I still couldn’t get it to go through.
Beautiful…
I’m going to look for that book tomorrow!!!! 🙂
I read some more of it today, and it is amazing!! I hope you find it :).
