Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second

by Bryan Peterson

Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The first book in the Understanding Photography series, Understanding Exposure, was a runaway best-seller, with more than 250,000 copies sold. Now author Bryan Peterson brings his signature style to another important photography topic: shutter speed. With clear, jargon-free explanations of terms and techniques, plus compelling "before-and-after" photos that pair a mediocre image (created using the wrong shutter speed) with a great image (created using the right shutter speed), this is the definitive practical guide to mastering an often-confusing subject. Topics include freezing and implying motion, panning, zooming, exposure, Bogen Super Clamps, and rendering motion effects with Photoshop, all with helpful guidance for both digital and film formats. Great for beginners and serious amateurs, Understanding Shutter Speed is the definitive handy guide to mastering shutter speed for superb results.

Synopsis:

This follow-up to Peterson's hugely successful "Understanding Exposure" offers clear, jargon-free explanations to an often-confusing subject. He demonstrates the creative potential of shutter speed to its fullest, presenting techniques for capturing movement in a photograph.
