4.0 out of 5 stars New to Photography, February 6, 2005
This review is from: Black & White Photography (Black and White Photography) (Paperback)
I am in a first semester photography class and this is the textbook. The book has an easy reading style, covers subject in detail, and is very attactively presented, nearly every second page is a full page black and white photo. This is one textbook I will keep. It is beautifully illustrated. As a novice photographer the short coming of the book for me is that there is no information on how the pictures were taken, film used, f-stop etc. I found the glossary and index very helpful.
