I am a big fan of Bryan Peterson and when I first saw this book available, I immediately purchased it for the iPad as a Kindle format. Sadly the first copy was corrupted and even though I was able to read the book, I was not able to use any of its multimedia files. I messaged Amazon and returned my book as they promised to get developers involved to fix the issue. I purposely waited to review the book once I would be able to fully experience the product Bryan meant for us to experience and it is a wonderful mix.
I love the "recipe style" approach to this book as when you are a novice, you mostly want to see how the masters have created their amazing photographs. Bryan has always been very generous at sharing his settings for any image on his books (one of the main reasons I like his books so much). But this time you get to see him on location sharing his short videos or hear an audio clip on why he is selecting a particular exposure combination. A great addition to the already visually rich material. The videos are short and to the point. So are the audio clips. I see one star reviews here only because of the multimedia glitch, now resolved, and I think it is unfair to an otherwise great book. I hope this review will persuade you to buy and enjoy the kindle version.

This book, like his recently published (November 2012) "Understanding Composition Field Guide: How to see and Photograph Images with Impact", is basically a distillation of the subject based on his previous books ("Understanding Exposure", "Understanding Flash Photography", "Beyond Portraiture" and "Understanding Close Up Photography"). It is as if Mr. Peterson placed a sieve under all of these books and separated his advice on exposures from the remaining contents of the books. Even numerous photographs from "Exposure Solutions" can be found in these previous books. Hence for those who have read Mr. Peterson's previous books, unless they are looking for a compilation of all Mr. Peterson's previously provided advice on the topic or a one volume reference on the topic or a refresher on the subject, will not gain much from reading this new book. This book's real value is as a very good introduction to those unfamiliar with Mr. Peterson's previous works. Even then, it can only serve to wet their appetites albeit in a very interesting and stimulating way (as much of what it contains is very useful to beginning photographers, as opposed to anyone over and above that).
Mr. Peterson needs, in the future, to start publishing some original books in new directions. He has quite an aversion to Photoshop and digital manipulation techniques, as he himself has said explicitely in this book and others, but these seem like logical directions for him to go in. HDR photography and photoshop techniques would be topics that would be much welcomed by his reading public.
PS- this is a review of the hardcopy of the book, not the ebook hence this reviewer is unable to opine regarding the many problems mentioned by other reviewers regarding the ebook.
