Review: Another wonderful book by Bryan Peterson - When I ordered this book my first thought before receiving it was that I didn't think I would learn too much but I have always loved his photography. Boy was I wrong. After reading the book I realized how many of my photos could have been better if I paid more attention to shutter speed. I had become so used to all of my photos stopping the action, that I realized if I had slowed the shutter and let some of the background blur, it would have actually improved the photo. shutter speed was something I was taking for granted and this book helped remind me of a creative element I had forgotten. Like all of Bryan Peterson's books, this book is easy to read and all concepts are explained in a clear and concise manner. another plus is that many photos have two different versions to show what a change in shutter speed can do. and if nothing else, this book is worth it for the fantastic photos within it's pages. He truly has a wonderful eye.
Review: Creative use of Shutter Speed! - This book is a winner! I have read all of Bryan Peterson's great photo books and this is his best work. In my opinion,this is must reading for the intermediate/advanced level of photographer. Bryan's books are a strong propellant towards innovative possibilities at home and elsewhere. Bryan is a photographer par excellence. I've had several classes with him and traveled with his destination workshops. You can improve your skills at many levels with his materials and insights! His books are not to be missed! Wayne T. Fisk

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bryan has a lot to say...
*by P***Z on May 17, 2010*

...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.
