Review: Best intro to photography - This is one of the best books I've read on getting out of using 'auto' mode. I've read a couple of others but got bored reading them really quickly. This one had me hooked from the first page. The writing is pretty funny but to the point. Theres also not pages and pages of writing and its all really easy to understand. The pictures in the book are brilliant as well. If you're looking for a book introducing you to moving on from using auto mode, this one is it. Review: Great book. - Great book with some really good explanations breaks down principles and helps understanding. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 32,825 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 4 in Photography Equipment (Books) 4 in Digital Photography Techniques & Tips 4 in Photography Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 2,590 Reviews | ## Images ![Understanding Exposure, Fourth Edition: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81yZw7jS+VL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best intro to photography *by D***1 on 9 July 2016* This is one of the best books I've read on getting out of using 'auto' mode.
