I also have his other book on exposure, great ones to add to your collection. This is a great book on understanding shutter speed.
if you love photography and want to expand your variaty in styles, this book gives a lot of ideas
Highly recommend. Bryan Peterson is an awesome photographer, and an awesome author. I bought this book, as well as another one he wrote, and I love them both.
It is alright for people that really don't understand shutter-speed, but it is a little light on serious photography information for people who have some understanding of shutter-speed already. He is also fond of talking about how great his life as a pro-photographer is, which is a bit annoying.
Slow shutterspeeds (1/30 and below) will make your pictures look artistic. You could write a brief summary of this books as follows: Fast shutterspeeds (1/250 and up) will freeze action.
I had read a lot of good things about this guy's books, most notably "Understanding Exposure". There is a picture of his daughter skiing that really looks like a 4 year old took it.
It isn't a terrible book but given the reputation this guy has on here I thought I would take a moment and write my first book review ever. So I went to the local photography store and bought this book.
A lot of space is devoted to his pictures, a lot of which really aren't very good.
I use this book for ideas to help me teach a beginning photography class. I love all of Bryan Peterson's books. So well written and easy to understand for the beginner but also informative enough for an intermediate/advanced hobbyist to enjoy.
