NIGHTINGALE, DAVID
With an increasing reliance on automatic exposure modes, for many digital photographers, exposure starts and ends at f/8 and 1/125 sec. Extreme Exposure sets out to liberate the enthusiast photographer by covering the further ends of the exposure scale, and explores the way in which cameras work both their limitations and potential before detailing how exposure can be used in a creative (and technical) fashion. Whether it's extending the shutter speed to capture stunning star trails, or fitting a manual focus lens to benefit from the wide apertures that are lost on today's DSLRs, Extreme Exposure looks at the fundamental elements of picture-making in a refreshing and highly inspirational light.
