Extreme Exposure sets out to liberate the enthusiast photographer by covering the further ends of the exposure scale, and 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.
