Light is the primary element of any photograph, but it may also be the most frustrating. Rick Sammon can help you eliminate those frustrations. With over 300 new images, Exploring Photographic Exposure takes you through the basics of exposure and how to apply them in any setting; from photographing wildlife to people, from landscapes to seascapes. Learn how to move away from the “spray and pray” approach by seeing light and applying camera settings to take fewer―and better―photos. Not just all tech talk, you’ll also learn how to explore exposure modes for more creative images, and to change and rescue exposures in post-processing.

Key features include:

More than 300 before-and-after images on how to apply the basics of exposure concepts to a variety of genres, including wildlife photography, landscape photography, studio photography, and everything in-between;

A guide on controlling light in a photograph, and how light affects an exposure;

Tips on working with composition in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom as well as Adobe Photoshop;

Advice on evolving as a photographer.
