    This book provides a lot of good ideas for shooting more artistic images. Covering a variety of shutter speeds and settings, it does a good job of inspiring you. It also features photos taken using the settings described in the text.

    But here’s why I gave it only four stars. It’s not the author’s fault, but you may need more camera to take advantage of some of the suggestions. I use a Sony H5 which falls in between point-and-shoot and full SLR. Even in full manual mode, I’m unable to adjust the aperture past f8. Consequently, longer shutter speeds result in serious overexposure. Again, not the author’s fault, just a point to be aware of.

  2. Había comprado el libro anterior del mismo autor, “Entendiendo la exposición” y quedé muy satisfecho con la compra. Ambos libros los recomiendo 100%, yo los compré desde Chile y para mí valieron la pena el envío que es bastante costoso comparado con el valor del libro mismo.
