Book Description
Abundant photographs and illustrations visually enhance the fundamental information offered in this new book for learning the manual operation of basic equipment, including a 35 mm camera. Unique in its use of student photographs, this introductory-level book provides a starting point for work in black and white photography that fosters ideas, inspires creativity, and serves as a method for measuring one?s own work and techniques. Basic darkroom skills are examined including proper exposure of the negative, processing film, and printing, with an emphasis on camera techniques that helps readers fine-tune their personal vision while also serving as a foundation for more advanced photographic techniques.
