    Ignore the digital techie parts
  

*by P***Z on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2007*

I purchased this book when I got my first camera and knew nothing about photography but quite a bit about the physics of light and computers. This book helped me take some great shots because it does a great job of explaining, in simple to understand terms, photography basics and provides a plethora of pictures to illustrate the concepts.  If you are a rank beginner, this book will walk you through aperture, f stops, the basics of exposure and basic composition to produce good photos and I highly recommend it for that purpose.The technical aspects of the book -- both digital camera components and computer formats -- range from dumbed down to the point of being overstated to plainly wrong, an issue covered in several other reviews.  However, they do give enough of an introduction to allow one to understand better, more accurate and more detailed discussions of technical components.  If you know nothing about the "digital" (as opposed to film) side of cameras and formats, it serves as a readable introduction to the meaning of the terms.  Be aware that most of the information beyond what the terms mean is wrong.If you are anything more than a rank beginner I suggest you skip this book.  If you are just starting out and more than a little intimidated by the seemingly complex world of "taking a good picture" then you will the book of value.

    Disappointing... at best
  

*by B***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2006*

I like Bryan Peterson's other books (Learning to see Creatively and Understanding Exposure) and I was guessing that this would be a combination of the two with some additional tips towards digital photography. I expected a lot out of the book, and it didn't come out.First of all, the 'photography' part of the book is good. Many examples and tips on how to make better pictures.But the 'digital' part of the book is bad, really, really bad. Virtually every advice Bryan gives is wrong, or given for the wrong reason. You get the idea that mr. Peterson wanted to jump on the digital bandwagon without knowing anything about digital camera's in the first place.I bought the book to give it to a friend who just got his first digital camera, and I wanted to see if it would be a keeper for myself. I'm keeping it, but only because I'd be ashamed to give it to somebody.Again, the photography tips are good, and if it wasn't for the author, I would have given it three stars. But I was expecting something better.

    UNDERSTANDING Digital Photography
  

*by P***  on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2014*

I AM a big fan of Bryan Peterson His Photos and Books He is what People consider him, a Pro . I N THIS Particular Book He reviews and explains the how and why of DIGITAL Photography and in a very understandable way His way and the way it all works for him and now Me.  His work is Years of try and error and in many cases sweat and tears Given for just a few dollars and that's less than I Spend for Lunch. And Now can avoid many of the pitfalls in the digital learning curve. Thanks Bryan
