This book is well-written and lavishly illustrated with good-quality color photographs from a number of well-known contemporary photographers. The basic physics of color theory and color perception are well laid out. The text and explanations are easy to follow, even for a novice. Having taught color photography for a number of years, in the US and in France and Italy, I have found that this text to be the most consistently useful for my students.

Much like his Basics of B&W photography Horenstein 's Color photography manual is a easy to read, is filled with excellent information and contains tons of photographs that inspire his readers. In short, this book is perfect for anyone beginning in color photography.

Henry Horenstein, author of BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY: A BASIC MANUAL, a book often used as a photography text book, has a similar book on color photography. COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY: A WORKING MANUAL offers the same excellent how-to information provide in the black and white counterpart. The book contains many of Horenstein's excellent photographs and offers information regarding filters and developing color prints. While it contains some information on color transparencies (slides), it is somewhat scant and may in the long run be more helpful for printmakers. At a time when digital photography is all the rage, this book is not obsolete since Horenstein's expertise will help ant photographer, no matter what the medium.

Good introductory book on color film photography. Great chapters on processing films and making prints.

Contains nothing about digital photography. Coverage on color theory is very concise.

This book is a must have for anyone interested in color film and for those that are experienced in color film.

This book contains a lot of great information, great for amateurs! I'm definitely glad I bought it.

A great book who like printing color photographs the old fashioned way (not digital). Hard to beat this book and the price.

I found the book to be very helpful undersanding color theory, how to shoot and make prints, and many other elements of photography of which I was previously unaware.

this is an extremely introduction to color photography. If you have any experience with color photography, I don't recommend this book. Although I can't say much because I somehow managed to buy this book twice, funny how that works? You could learn from this book, but there's other books with more information and more helpful out there.

Book came within 3 days, very fast. Great condition, and I think I am going to order some more wrestling stuff from Amazon. THE BEST!
