Book Reviews of Understanding Shutter Speed: Creative Action and Low-Light Photography Beyond 1/125 Second
Book Review: A little light on real information
Summary: 3 Stars
I had read a lot of good things about this guy's books, most notably "Understanding Exposure".
So I went to the local photography store and bought this book. 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.
A lot of space is devoted to his pictures, a lot of which really aren't very good. There is a picture of his daughter skiing that really looks like a 4 year old took it. He is also fond of talking about how great his life as a pro-photographer is, which is a bit annoying.
You could write a brief summary of this book as follows:
Fast shutterspeeds (1/250 and up) will freeze action.
Slow shutterspeeds (1/30 and below) will make your pictures look artistic.
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.
