It was helpful in explaining some technical issues like f stop and shutter speed relation. I wasn't always able to understand some of his explanations. Partly because I'm visual and like to see how someone gets to what they are talking about, and partly because I felt like he was interchanging terms. So while I found some things helpful, it wasn't as helpful as I was hoping it would be and went out and bought another book on exposure.

This was a great book for a photography beginner. Starts with camera and photography basics and goes to more complicated situations and how to handle them. Then deals with some common specific situations as well. I found Wignall's writing to be interesting and not too dry. I also really appreciated all the photo examples included to help illustrate the topics, with the camera settings for every photo included so you know exactly how it was taken.

I purchased the 2008 edition and I thought it was such a great book to get me started. It teaches you about the basics of ISO, shutter speed, aperture and lighting. If you're a novice, like me, it's a great place to start! My favorite part was that there were a ton of photos inside and the author included the camera settings for each one. This helped me to understand what each change did to the image.
