Exposure Photoworkshop is part of the Wiley's Photo Workshop series that teaches the basics of how to shoot great photos from the start. Each full-color book in the series provides clear instructions, ample photography examples, and end-of-chapter assignments that can be uploaded to pwassignments.com for input from others.

Correct exposure is the secret for creating an image that captures the photographer's vision and shares it with the world. The author explains how to apply his techniques with patience, experimentation, and a focus on the outcome, so the photographer will begin to create images that reveal not only what was seen but what was felt.

In this day of auto-everything photographers have gotten away from the basics of light meters how they work and techniques such as the Zone System. Exposure Photoworkshop devotes a chapter to the measuring of light that explains how light meters work, TTL meters, handheld meters, a world of gray's, and the Zone System.

In addition the critical elements of exposure--ISO, aperture, shutter speed, and white balance, along with the greedy 80s power of depth-of-field, tips and techniques for capturing action, night scenes, rainbows, sunsets, and reflections are covered in detail.

Each book listed below is rated for Beginners (*), Intermediate (**) or Advanced (***) in digital imaging.
