5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, comprehensive book on all aspects of photography., September 3, 1998

"Photography" is a wonderful, comprehensive reference for photographers at all levels. Learning about photographic techniques can sometimes be tedious and hard to understand. Bruce makes it about as easy as it can be. This book is very well organized and laid out. One of the things that makes it so nice is the clear photographs that serve as examples. Sometimes it is hard to detect the subtle differences in photographs. The photographs in this book help the reader see these differences (for example, the difference between warm and cold tone papers).

I actually attended classes taught Mr. Warren and was around when he
was developing his first edition. He loved what he did and it showed in his
teaching and this is what is in his book. A love and practical understanding
and teaching to bring out the "best photographer" in you.

The way that Bruce teaches the zone system could not be better explained by Ansel Adams himself, this book will teach you how to master all aspects of photography, and will serve as your base to become a professional or a great enthusiast. It covers all subjects from black and white to color.
