This book is mostly a rehash of material from Understanding Exposure, with images re-used from other books as well. There are just enough new tidbits to make it worth reading, but not enough to make it worth adding to my photography library.

If you have a basic understanding of how aperture, shutter speed and ISO play key roles in shooting manual, you'll learn a LOT from this book. Peterson's stuff is great for a crash course in better understanding your camera.

I like Bryan Peterson's books because he writes in a very straightforward, practical way and provides a wide range of useful information. He doesn't get overly technical just for the sake of being technical.
