Book Description

June 10, 2008
Cutting-edge information for professionals

* Master digital exposure, then HDR imaging

* Case studies from actual assignments

* Authoritative tips, tricks, and techniques

With Mastering Digital Exposure and HDR Imaging, professional and aspiring-professional photographers can explore the little-understood realm of digital exposure--as well as the emerging exposure-based techniques of High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging. Exposure is challenging, and digital cameras add new wrinkles to the complex equations. From the linear nature of digital sensors and digital noise, to white balance, ISO equivalency, and dynamic range, author Chris Weston explains it all. With a sound background in exposure, readers will be ready to explore HDR imaging. Throughout, case studies from actual assignments, both studio and field based, reveal the real-world applications of each new technique.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very small type., September 1, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering Digital Exposure and HDR Imaging: Understanding the Next-Generation of Digital Cameras (Hardcover)
I have been reading this book since it was delivered. It includes a very interesting combination of topics on the latest in digital photography that are exposed quite well. Nice diagrams and pictures are used to illustrate and explain the different concepts on digital exposure and image capture and processing. It is very informative and also makes reference to the newer software. Unfortunately the letter type is so small that it makes for very uncomfortable reading (almost offensive). It is a shame to see how space is wasted in the book layout instead of using this space to include a bigger type to offer easier and more enjoyable reading.

This review is from: Mastering Digital Exposure and HDR Imaging: Understanding the Next-Generation of Digital Cameras (Hardcover)
It looks interesting but the print is so small compared to the average book that it is exhausting to read it. I am returning it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very good except for the errors., April 15, 2010
This review is from: Mastering Digital Exposure and HDR Imaging: Understanding the Next-Generation of Digital Cameras (Hardcover)
As the other people have said the type is small. The information is very good and informative. The problem is all of the errors. I got through 100 pages, before I was tired of all of the errors. It seems to have an error every couple of pages. The errors are technical, spelling, talking about the wrong photograph, and other errors. I would love to get the second edition with all of the mistakes corrected. It would be a great reference book on photograph and HDRI. Right now it is just a rough draft.

First Sentence:
Although the fundamental principles of exposure (shutter speed, lens aperture, reciprocity law, metering, etc.) apply equally to film-based photography and digital capture, when they are applied to the digital medium there are significant implications that have the potential to affect our ability to achieve effective exposures and high image quality. Read the first page
