Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
A picture tells a thousand stories, but the one it doesn't tell is how the shot was made. Barbara London and John Upton's Photography is an all-inclusive look at the craft of photography. This book will help any amateur move up a few notches, and it serves as a refresher course for professionals as well. The sixth edition of this classic work (the first was published in 1976) includes a companion Web site with interactive activities, Web resources, and a learning archive. Amply illustrated with at least one photograph or diagram on almost every page, Photography is the one reference work every student of photography must have--even those who will never set foot in a classroom. --Brenda Pittsley

4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent textbook for those starting out,
This review is from: Photography (Paperback)
This is a great book for amateurs who want to understand how photography works. The textbook format is well laid out and organized. It has chapters that cover everything from how the camera works and different lens characteristics to developing and criticizing your own work. I don't think it will be much use for experienced and pro photographers but it might come in handy to freshen up on your photo knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The best reference book ever found.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Photography (Paperback)
When in college, I took a photography course from a well known and respected photographer in the Bay Area. This was the textbook we were to purchase. I have since turned to photography full time. I look to this book for little things from time to time and I am glad it is there. It is like a little mentor. I recommend it to all people I speak with who say that they would like to know more about photography. It is a great book. One you will use over and over again. One that will not grow dust on its' cover.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Overpriced,
By joseph walsh (Amarillo, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Photography (Paperback)
As a college teacher I have used this book for two decades and watched it's price go up and up. Obviously, I think it is a good book. However, the camel's back has finally broken at the current 74 (!) dollar paperback price. I cannot justify asking intro students to pay this much. I will find a suitable, less expensive alternative. The price difference will be best spent on film.
