This is a great book on understanding Exposure! I have read mine a few times and always refer back to it ever so often, When i first started my photography hobby everyone i talked to said I have to read this book so i finally ordered it and have learned a lot of good stuff from it. It's a very highly acclaimed book from all the great reviews and i can see why.

I am confused as to where I should start. I bought a D-90. I don't want to just do point and shoot pictures. Do I learn about f-stops first and then about speed or both together. How do the combinations work together? I need some help just to go step-by-step so I can piece everything together.

On a different note, you should write about a suitable bag for D90.

Hello Jane, I wish i could answer that question for you in a quick and easy way but i cant. I would suggest reading as much as possible on the subject and over time it will just come to you! I started out just shooting in Aperture Priority so i could learn depth of Field first. In this setting all you do is set the F-stop you want and the camera sets the shutter speed for the best exposure. If you haven't seen the Nikon D90 Digitutor - Tutorial posted on this blog i would go play with that it helped me a great deal. Also the book Nikon D90 Digital Field Guide will help a ton. Have fun and don't get discouraged theres tons of help on-line for everything you want to know.
