The Ansel Adams Guide: Basic Techniques of Photography
Read Comments
I wanted a good book on photography. One that talked about different kinds of cameras, lenses, filters, accessories. One that would introduce me to various concepts of visualization, development, printing and archiving.
One that would basically talk about Photography.
Unfortunately, nowadays it’s difficult to get a good photography manual. More are just about connecting your digital camera and printing your digital photos with your inkjet printer.
If you want a book about real photography, you need to turn to Ansel Adams.
The Ansel Adams Guide: Basic Techniques of Photography is a book in two parts that tries to sum up and revamp a bit Ansel Adams’ teachings. And BTW, the author was a student and a collaborator of Ansel Adams.
I feel this is a very good book for both newbie and advanced amateurs as it covers almost every aspect of photography — well, mostly B&W photography.
If you’re serious about Photography — the one with film, developers, fixers, not the point-and-shoot kind of experience you get out of digital photography — this book might put you on the right path.
