Product Description
The first book in the Understanding Photography series, Understanding Exposure, was a runaway best-seller, with more than 250,000 copies sold. Now author Bryan Peterson brings his signature style to another important photography topic: shutter speed. With clear, jargon-free explanations of terms and techniques, plus compelling "before-and-after" photos that pair a mediocre image (created using the wrong shutter speed) with a great image (created using the right shutter speed), this is the definitive practical guide to mastering an often-confusing subject. Topics include freezing and implying motion, panning, zooming, exposure, Bogen Super Clamps, and rendering motion effects with Photoshop, all with helpful guidance for both digital and film formats. Great for beginners and serious amateurs, Understanding Shutter Speed is the definitive handy guide to mastering shutter speed for superb results.

 Bryan has a lot to say... May 17, 2010
Patrick A. Rodriguez (Olympia, WA)
...and I mean a lot. He's quick to give helpful hints and tips with clear vivid analogies...but don't go and buy the book just yet. Those of you who are professionals or experienced amateurs will find this book lacking in very advanced techniques. It explains middle range basics (It won't tell you how to turn on the camera) on shutter speed for photography. Don't be surprised if at times you find the author almost appear to be bragging about his life and supposed success. However, it is still a good book for people that have little to no experience in taking their camera out of auto mode and getting better exposures. It's not the best but definitely really good. I think instead of writing separate books the author could have composed the whole series into one book because reading all his books you will often find yourself re-reading information from book to book. Instead of buying this buy his Understanding Exposure and pick this up from the library.

I have his first book Understanding Exposure (brilliant book and I recommend it for everyone). Understanding Shutter Speed is my second book that I just purchased and already I am understanding more and more about shutter speed. Shutter speed is that little thing that can make or break your photo. Whether it is in film or digital the foundation is the same. I know now that I am going to expand further in my photography for both film and digital.

Well now I understand why he is such a highly respected author. Easy to read. Clear, concise, tremendous photos. Photos support his point. His love of the art explodes off of the page. Book is organized well. I already have purchased exposure book, and have not had the time to read it yet. In fact I still have to go through this book several more time. Works from the end of being a coffee table book because of the beautiful photos, and from the end of being a text book, or a manual to take with one if one was not concerned about damaging it. Tremendous.
Excellent Book January 30, 2010
