The Photography FAQs series is a comprehensive, pocket-size reference for the amateur photographer in the field (or the studio). Each title is formulated as an encyclopaedia of 50 questions and answers covering every aspect of the key photography subjects that come up again and again, including exposure, lighting and composition, genres such as landscape, portraiture and travel and shooting in monochrome. Each topic is supported by lively, accessible text, inspirational images and clear, easy-to-navigate design that makes this series a quick-and-easy reference.
Each subject has been developed with real-world case studies in mind. The author has drawn on years of experience leading workshops and seminars and contributing to the photographic press - as well as working in diverse environments and difficult situations to get the perfect shot. More than most, he understands how sometimes there's something you need to know in the field - but no-one to answer the question! Well, look no further. The first title in the series, Exposure, takes an in-depth look at the most fundamental, yet often most perplexing and disciplined of photographic subjects. Everything is covered - from explaining the basics of aperture and shutter speed to resolving difficult lighting conditions, environments and weather, and breaking the rules to create special effects.
