Anyone know where in Dublin, if anywhere, they sell Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson as I had a look and couldnt find it

nilhg · 10-09-2007 8:27pm

Its on easons website, they should be able to tell you which shop has it in stock.

I think I remember seeing a few copies at Hodges Fiddis on Dawson Street...

They definitely stock it there all right. First floor.

I bought my copy in Waterstone's on Dawson Street.

AnCatDubh · 10-09-2007 9:11pm

freaky - i just was reading this tonight. my copy came from Waterstone's on Dawson Street too.

i think Rymus is the area sales manager for Cork

I have never understood exposure and that's why are my pictures so good :-)
If it is bright, set +EV, if it is dark, set -EV.
Easy like Sunday morning :-)

Let us know how much it costs - I just ordered mine off amazon :rolleyes:

Muineach · 11-09-2007 7:53am

i think Borders in Blanchardstown have a decent enough selection of photography, ranging from PS type books to Understanding Exposure

I was given a copy of this for my birthday, a few weeks back.
It was bought in Cork & had the remains of an Easons price tag on it.

rahtkennades · 11-09-2007 8:09am

Hodges Figgis are charging €19.10 for this. It was €4 cheaper than Waterstones (directly across the road, and owned by the same parent company!)

That happens quite a lot.
Saw an article about it somewhere.
They say it pays to shop around, in truth, it pays to have a monopoly.

How many copies can I put you down for? If I sell more than 100 copies this year, I get to have Christmas dinner with the Peterson family..

Judging from the gratuitous shots of his Mrs, it might be worth it to buy all 100 copies yourself...

rymus · 11-09-2007 9:33am

gratuitous? My word, I might just have to have a re-read of the books over the weekend.

That's made my morning anyway.

No one's seen the 2-page bikini spread??

Probably needs a little less bikini & a little more spreading, for Rymus to consider it "gratuitous".

(He's not a mod anymore, right?

)

rymus · 11-09-2007 9:55am

a little less bikini never hurt anyone

There was a picture on flickr a while back, where an aged body could have done with a helluva lot more bikini. Some serious over exposure!

rymus · 11-09-2007 10:03am

I remember it.. She wasn't so much aged as a potential candidate for carbon dating.

City-Exile · 11-09-2007 10:14am

She reminded me of the Inca Ice Mummies of Peru.

This book is E15.90 on www.bookdepository.co.uk if anyones desperate for a bargain!Delivery is free and things usually arrive within a week in my experience.

RoryW · 12-09-2007 12:25am

Checked Waterstones and Hodgis Figgis. Both sold out.

run_Forrest_run · 12-09-2007 8:10am

wow, this book is stirring up some demand!
Now I have it and have read it a few times. He gives some good tips alright but I found some of his stuff to be lacking more detail on WHY you would do something the way he is saying it.

Anyway, yes it is a good reference point and some of his shots are amazing, he makes it look so easy!...oh and he uses Nikon cameras a lot so he must know his stuff

ovidius · 16-09-2007 9:45pm

So...any shop in Cork selling the above mentioned book??

not that I could find, I bought it from play.com in the end.

ovidius · 17-09-2007 5:29pm

What is wrong with Cork and photographic related..things?? I looked for a f..king grey card last week and they all looked at me like I was asking for a God knows what :mad:

Draco · 18-09-2007 3:22am

Any other book recommendations since I can't find this either? (in Oz before anyone suggests a shop in Ireland)

That's a good point because I always intended on getting one but I've never met anyone who has one and was afraid (for the reasons above) to ask for one in the high street shops in Cork! I reckon unless it is some fancy latest digital gadget they wouldn't be ar*ed stocking it!
