Book by Bryan Peterson, review by ian408


Author Bryan Peterson walks through a suprising number of shots and excercises designed to teach the reader how to see things differently.

Often, new photographers spend an enormous amount of time trying to decide which lens to use. One of the first excercises has the reader working with a 28mm lens while standing a fair distance in front of and centering he subject in the view finder. Subsequent shots are taken about every five paces or so until the subject fills the frame.

This excercise is designed to demonstrate what the lens is capable of capturing at various distances.

Learning To See Creatively discusses subjects related to the creative photographic process. From Expanding Your Vision through the Magic Of Light, Peterson walks us through the processes that help improve our photographs.

If you're disappointed with the perspective of your photographs or would just like to learn new ways to view your subjects, this book is for you.
