I got mine free for a Christmas present. I think they've run out now though.
 
Dear all, I have a question. I have considering buying a book about photography for a while now. Up until now I've only owned a copy of "Photography for Beginners" and I now think its time for an upgrade. I considered various options. I've been into WH Smiths, Borders and Waterstones. I've handled the various books they have on offer, but I find that "Understanding Exposure" is the most suitable for my needs. Its the right size and weight and I like the look of the font used on the front cover. I also have a couple of bookmarks that I used to use with my previous book - I took them along to the bookshops with me to try them for size. They fit perfectly. So, I think this really is the book I need.

The one thing that's bugging me, though is that I've read on the web that "Understanding Exposure" may soon be replaced with a newer model - "Understanding Exposure Even Better". I gather that this new version will have even more pages and possibly a hard cover.

So what's the general view? Do I go for this book now at what seems to be an attractive price, or do I wait a couple of months and go for the upgrade, which will no doubt cost about £20. Do you think that the price of this current version may come down even more when the new version hits the shelves?

I'd welcome your views.

Cheers MV





At any price, this is a top book. Well worth the investment.
 
Well, the principles of photography haven't changed since the first book was written. They have probably updated the technical side of things as digital cameras have improved since the book was first written. However, if you want to learn about the must know basics of photography - aperture, shutter speed and how to understand light - then it'll never go out of date.

I'd wait a little while, I've heard that there may be a cash-back offer due out later this month

Ps. I've also heard that the Hard Cover version may be fitted with an anti-dust system

The digital version will come on most forms of media card so you just pop it in your camera and view the recommendations on screen before taking the picture :nuts:

Ooh, a dust cover, perhaps?

Think I'll wait, then. That would be a real bonus.
