125$ !!!!!!??????? September 10, 2010
Format:Paperback
I have used this text for teaching silver based analog photography since the first edition. It's clear, well organized, and has great diagrams and practical tips. However, its price now is an absurdity, even immoral for a book that gets much of its material from 35 years ago. So, if you are learning analog photography, buy an old edition: one can be had for 5$ (yes, five!) dollars. Then buy a cheap book on digital if you need one. At some point, book buyers need to send a message.

This is a very thorough reference book that is a great choice for someone who really wants to know the background of professional photography and learn the "rules" as they exist traditionally. Having gone to school and gotten a degree in photography, I didn't see anything in the book that I wasn't already familiar with, however it was a nice refresher. I purchased the book to brush up on my photography knowledge in order to take a certification exam. This has proven to be a nice resource, however I believe it may not be necessary for certification purposes.

As far as I can tell, the information in the book is very accurate and has been updated to reflect current technology. There is very little in-depth information on any particular aspect of photography. The reader is introduced to a specific concept or procedure, given general information about it, and told to consult an owners manual or other documentation for the remainder of the explanation. This is done in order that specificity does not outrank general accuracy.

Bottom line: this is a great resource for new and aspiring professionals and collects information that would otherwise take great time to find and study. If you are a practicing professional photographer and have several years experience or more, you'll find very little new information. Most professionals who have been in the business for 5 or more years have been utilizing many of the techniques described on a frequent basis.

This book is a requirement for my introduction to photography class, so I had to buy it. It is easy to read and understand and is perfect for beginners and veterans, since it covers both black and white film as well as digital photography. I just wish that books like these were not so expensive, since it is a requirement for some students and for folks wanting to learn photography. It may prompt some people to look for a cheaper title and miss out on this quality boook.
