Lee has done us all a great service by translating part of what Dan Margulis has taught into a different realm. Dan focus on post-processing, but Lee has taken some of Dan's ideas and moved them back to the time of capture; he writes with depth on the subtle issues of exposing an image properly. But the result is hard; it must have been hard on the author to write the book, and it is hard on the reader to absorb the lessons. That said, Lee's books are easier to read than Dan's, whose books have been justly described by a reviewer as follows: "they make your eyes bleed."

I am no expert, and perhaps it is presumptuous of me to praise either Dan or Lee, but I will say that I regard their books as among the very best. If you learn one-fifth of what they have to teach, you will know more than 85% of the crowd. But I caution, I am without true authority to speak on these matters. I can say with authority that I have learned more from them about post-processing and exposure than I have from most of those who are commonly thought to be experts.
