Product Description
The most comprehensive and accessible guide available for today’s photographer: whether novice or advanced, whether using a film camera or digital.
Award-winning photographer Tom Ang provides a thorough, explicitly detailed bottom-to-top understanding of modern photography and explains all the techniques that will help anyone using a camera, whether in a professional capacity or as a snapshot-shooter, improve the quality of his or her photographs. Here is everything you need to know: from the most practical advice (the fundamental facts about light sources) to the most sophisticated nuances (how light is measured through photometry), from the basics of the camera (which button controls which function) to the finer points of framing with an LCD viewfinder. For users of film cameras, Ang provides an explanation of types of film, methods of processing, and darkroom techniques. For the digital camera contingent, there’s a specificity of information previously unavailable about the cameras and about processing, digitizing, and outputting the images. Ang also discusses subjects usually ignored in manuals, but of interest to all photographers, including critical theory, the presentation of images, the function of the human eye in the perception of images, and ethical and copyright issues.
This is an essential book for every photographer.
