An increasing reliance on automatic exposure modes means that, for many digital photographers, exposure starts and ends at /8 and 1/125 sec. Theres nothing wrong with this, but theres a point when this sensible combination becomes formulaic boring even and countless photographers have lost sight of their cameras true creative potential. With inspirational photography throughout, "Extreme Exposure" is the antithesis to this, setting out to liberate the enthusiast photographer. Covering the further ends of the exposure scale, this book explores the way in which cameras work both their limitations and potential before detailing how exposure can be used in a creative (and technical) fashion. Whether its extending the shutter speed to capture stunning star trails, or fitting a manual focus lens to benefit from the wide apertures that are lost on todays DSLRs, "Extreme Exposure" looks at the fundamental elements of picture-making in a refreshing and highly inspirational light.
