Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)

ASIN: 1883403774

Book Description

Once you really know your Nikon N80/F80 camera, you'll uncover the wonderful opportunities it offers. This new feature-laden, affordable single-lens-reflex (SLR) camera from one of the world's most respected manufacturers was designed for the serious, advanced-amateur photographer. With an in-depth look at the camera's capabilities and functions, you'll be able to use such features as the Matrix metering mode, exposure compensation, auto exposure bracketing, autofocus mode and area selection, tracking focus, and more. The uses of accessories including lenses, flashes, and filters are explained, as are advanced flash techniques such as slow sync and rear-curtain sync. More informative and user-friendly than the manufacturer's instruction book, and with plenty of hands-on suggestions to put the photo enthusiast well on the way to sophisticated picture-taking.

Nicely illustrated, very descriptive
compendium of techniques for the Nikon N80/F80 camera.
I waited at least a year until it became available...
very happy with the product.

Chock full of errors.......2004-02-04

If you understand the basics of AF SLR photography, do not buy this book. It does do a good job of introducing the basics, but unfortunately it falls flat on its face when it comes to explaining the features of your new N80. As other have noted, the book is rife with errors in description of the N80's features and functions. It is difficult to believe the authors had this camera in hand when the book was written. I found the manual that comes with the camera to be much more useful.

Good Beginner Reference Guide.......2002-08-09

This book serves as a good reference guide to the N-80, though I'm not sure if it's necessarily better than Nikon's camera manual. I think the book is at its best when used by beginner photographers, since much of the book covers the use of the camera and its features in practical photographic applications. It also goes into lens and flash selection, and the use of other available accessories.

My first Magic Lantern book was their guide to the N-60. At that time, and as a novice photographer, I greatly benefited from the book. The N-80 book was less valuable to me, mostly because I was farther down the learning curve by the time I read it.

So, it's a great source for beginners, and it's value diminishes thereafter.

Worthwhile.......2001-08-26

This is a useful manual for the N80, even if the text is imperfect. Unfortunately, the publisher merely released a new printing in May 2001, not a new edition and therefore missed a chance to correct the errors that the other reviewers on here have previously mentioned. The reviewers who suspect that some of the technical information was extrapolated from Nikon's F100 camera are clearly right. Not only does the text occasionally describe functions unique to the F100 and not present on the N80, but also on page 179 the author forgot to switch the text and inadvertently calls the N80 camera a F100! That being said, the book has redeeming qualities. I disagree with the reviewer who felt that the Nikon Manual was perfectly adequate. Although the manual supplied by the manufacturer is fairly complete, I was still left with some questions after reading it. Perhaps this is because the whole autofocus SLR concept is new to me. If you are used to more traditional SLR's, this is a whole new ballgame. Comparing this Nikon to my 20-year-old Nikon is like comparing a computer word processor to a typewriter. This manual helped bridge the culture shock for me. And despite some inaccuracies, I have learned some useful information from this manual. One of the better speedlights for this camera is the Nikon SB-28, which is available as the older SB-28 or the newer, more expensive SB-28DX. However, the improvements in the SB-28DX can only be used if one is using the Nikon D-1, not the N80. Sparing me the unnecessary expense of buying the DX model of the speedlight more than paid for the purchase price of the book. And I picked up some other helpful tips as well. The book is useful, but flawed. Its small enough to tuck into your camera bag and for most of us, it probably has something to teach about this complex and wonderful camera.

Help in gray area that manual does not cover.......2001-04-28

I'm the owner of N70 of this book, because this book is not expensive, I decided to purchase the n80 book too, after I aquired my N80, expecting some redundancy.

In general, the book replaces a lot of topics topics compare with the N70. the great benefit of this book is it covers some gray areas either the manufacture manual does not mention, or the manual mentioned implictly but readers might not aware of the implication. For example the book warns you, if you use speed priority exposure, but your len maxium aperture is not big enough to result correct exposure, the camera still fire in auto exposure mode and result underexposed. In additon, if you use shutter speed exceeding 1/125 that exceed flash max sync speed, partial flashing will result. Such problem you can understand but may easily ignore if simply reading the manual.

Another benefit is some general advices, which is especially plus for beginers, I enjoy the coverage of len comaptibilities and some info on recent Nikon Len line up.

As the other reader points out, the book has some errors, F80 frequently refer to as F8, default custom setting for change aperture is to turn subcommand dial (but the book ask you to use main command). Those are simply careless or editing typo. What appalling me is on page P152 , it mentioned customer setting 19, not only the setting is not for the topics discussed there, but also in all custom settings, there is simply no such function for N80/F80/F80s, making me wonder if the author really testing the N80 or simply imagine many mechanism should be the same as F100 (which maybe largely different).

Book Description

About 34 million Americans—nearly 24 percent of the labor force—earn less than $8.70 an hour, not enough to keep a family of four out of poverty, even working full-time. Most of these workers lack a college degree, limiting their ability to get ahead in today's labor market. Low-Wage America is the most extensive study to date of how the choices employers make in response to economic globalization, industry deregulation, and advances in information technology affect the lives of tens of millions of workers at the bottom of the wage distribution.

Based on data from hundreds of establishments in 25 industries—including manufacturing, retail sales, telecommunications, hospitality, and health care—the case studies presented in this volume document how firms' responses to economic restructuring often results in harsh working conditions, reduced benefits, and fewer opportunities for advancement. For instance, increased pressure for profits in newly consolidated hotel chains has led to cost-cutting strategies such as requiring maids to increase the number of rooms they clean by 50 percent. Technological changes in the organization of call centers—the ultimate "disposable workplace"—have led to onerous monitoring of operators' work performance and eroded job ladders. Other chapters show how the temporary staffing industry has provided paths to better work for some, but to dead end jobs for many others; how new technology has reorganized work in the back offices of banks, raising skill requirements for workers; and how increased competition from abroad has forced U.S. manufacturers to cut costs by reducing wages and speeding production.

Although employers' responses to economic pressures have had a generally negative effect on frontline workers, some employers manage to resist this trend and still compete successfully. The benefits to workers of multi-employer training consortia and the continuing relevance of unions offer important clues about what public policy can do to support the job prospects of this vast, but largely overlooked segment of the American workforce. Low-Wage America challenges us to a national self-examination about the nature of low-wage work in this country and asks whether we are willing to tolerate the profound social and economic consequences entailed by these jobs.
