A good book if one is interested in the zone system, but does not want to go all the way into it is "Black & White Photography, A Basic Manual", by Henry Horenstein. It is probably more than one wants to know if one is not seriously interested in the craft of photography, but if one wants to do serious B&W work I recommend it. Most libraries are likely to have a copy.

----- Original Message ----- From: "UncaMikey" Subject: Understanding exposure? Recommendations?
Most photography books I've read have not been very helpful, other than being able to look at interesting pictures.
I would like to learn more about exposure, however. Nuts and bolts stuff, practical information.
Any recommendations for a good learning/study guide for this topic? Bryan Peterson's book, some other? A particularly good online resource (that I can print out)? I know nothing can replace experience, trial and error, but I would prefer some sort of guide rather than wandering aimlessly...
"The Negative" by Adams is a very good starting point.
There is a book called "Beyond the Zone System", I don't recall the author's name, he was an Adams disciple that is also very good.
