The world's bestselling author of drawing and cartooning books, Christopher Hart, will show you all the interactive, artistic possibilities offered by doodling, designing, and coloring using characters, scenes, and crafts from the world of manga in Doodletopia: Manga.

Unlike other doodle books that leave you stranded, with no help at all, Doodletopia: Manga pairs fun doodle-based activities with the sort of insightful (and laugh-out-loud funny) advice and tips that countless readers have come to expect from cartooning master Christopher Hart. 

From dressing up super-cute chibis to designing your own manga mazes to completing manga scenes and making manga-inspired crafts like bookmarks, stationery, and more, the opportunities for creative expression are endless. So what are you waiting for? Pick up your pencils, pens, markers, or crayons, and start doodling!

*My Thoughts*
I personally LOVE this book. It is for my 13 year old daughter. Doodletopia: Manga by Christopher Hart is a book full of cute drawings you can do like, Chibi animals and more. You can even create your own manga crafts! Hart makes drawing fun. I would recommend this book for people of all ages who love to doodle!

This newly revised edition of Bryan Peterson's most popular book demystifies the complex concepts of exposure in photography, allowing readers to capture the images they want.

Understanding Exposure has taught generations of photographers how to shoot the images they want by demystifying the complex concepts of exposure in photography. In this newly updated edition, veteran photographer Bryan Peterson explains the fundamentals of light, aperture, and shutter speed and how they interact with and influence one another. With an emphasis on finding the right exposure even in tricky situations, Understanding Exposure shows you how to get (or lose) sharpness and contrast in images, freeze action, and take the best meter readings, while also exploring filters, flash, and light. With all new images, as well as an expanded section on flash, tips for using colored gels, and advice on shooting star trails, this revised edition will clarify exposure for photographers of all levels.

My Thoughts:

I would say that this book is *THE* book for learning photography. I would give this book 100 stars if possible. I highly recommend this book. I love this book for the inspiring set of updates to an already excellent resource. 

"Understanding Exposure" should be a MUST for every person who owns a DSLR or a camera with an "M" (manual) mode. Since this book was first published, Understanding Exposure has provided a friendly, easy, and accessible way for everyone to learn to use their cameras to create beautiful images. I've dabbled in photography a bit and this book will always be my first recommendation when asked for help with cameras. It really is that impressive of a resource and now has been completely revised and updated with all new pictures and new information.
