An increasing reliance on automatic exposure modes means that, for many digital photographers, exposure starts and ends at ’
/8 and 1/125 sec. There s nothing wrong with this, but there s a point when this sensible combination becomes formulaic  boring even  and countless photographers have lost sight of their camera s 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 it s 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 today s DSLRs, Extreme Exposure looks at the fundamental elements of picture-making in a refreshing and highly inspirational light.
