 A little light on real information Oct 05, 2009
I had read a lot of good things about this guy's books, most notably "Understanding Exposure".
So I went to the local photography store and bought this book. It is alright for people that really don't understand shutter-speed, but it is a little light on serious photography information for people who have some understanding of shutter-speed already.
A lot of space is devoted to his pictures, a lot of which really aren't very good. There is a picture of his daughter skiing that really looks like a 4 year old took it. He is also fond of talking about how great his life as a pro-photographer is, which is a bit annoying.
You could write a brief summary of this books as follows:
Fast shutterspeeds (1/250 and up) will freeze action.
Slow shutterspeeds (1/30 and below) will make your pictures look artistic.
It isn't a terrible book but given the reputation this guy has on here I thought I would take a moment and write my first book review ever.
 Great book! Sep 12, 2009
I love all of Bryan Peterson's books. So well written and easy to understand for the beginner but also informative enough for an intermediate/advanced hobbyist to enjoy. I use this book for ideas to help me teach a beginning photography class.

 An entire book devoted to shutter speeds is unnecessary Jul 30, 2009
After reading this book I find it impossible to believe that a company was willing to publish a book on this subject.
If the book was about shutter speeds and flash photography, I could easily see at least this much. However, this book is overkill for a relatively simple subject.
So, don't buy this book. Borrow it from a library instead. If you feel compelled to buy it, buy it and then resell it. It is seriously not a book I would suggest keeping.
Just Okay.... May 04, 2009
Decided to purchase Peterson's book based on my previous purchase of his "Understanding Exposure." Truly enjoyed reading and learning from the first book however was not able to gain too much from this current book. Please do not let me discount the material itself, I did find it interesting since Peterson does a fine job of communicating his thoughts into words however I did not take away the same amount that I gained from his book regarding Exposure. Nevertheless, it will serve as a book of reference when I need to look something up about "Speed."

Understanding Shutter Speed Apr 28, 2009
I love the book the Author really makes it easy for any level of photographer to learn several tricks of the trade when it comes to playing with shutter speed. For begginers the book is great to bring you to a new level of photographic skill and for more advance photographers the book is a great refresher.
