"I found this book to be the best that I have ever seen on the subject of photography not only for 'basic' knowledge but for far more advanced subjects. It is clear, precise, easy to read and more important, easy to understand and apply."
Robert A. Freson, Professional Travel and Nature Photographer
"...an excellent reference manual for anyone starting out in photography."

From the Publisher
Photography, or `light drawing,' is essentially a combination of technique and visual observation. Developing your ability to make successful photographs must include some basic technical theory, otherwise you will not get the most out of your tools, fuIly explore materials, or turn out reliable results. Basic Photography explains the equipment and techniques, provides background on how current 'silver halide' processes work, and shows the relationship between visual and technical aspects of photography. It provides the underpinning knowledge to allow you to take truly creative and original pictures, whilst at the same time acting as a handy reference source for when imaginative ideas require the learning of new techniques.Basic Photography is an international bestseller with a long established reputation as the introductory textbook for photography. Initially published over thirty years ago the book has been re-written and revised regularly, and translated into four foreign language editions. It remains a classic reference source for students and newcomers to photography of all ages.Basic Photography:7 assumes no theoretical knowledge of photography, nor any scientific background7 provides a summary of each chapter for easy revision7 allows you to put into practice what you have learned through practical projects7 is a recommended textbook for A Level, City and Guilds, HND and Degree photography courses7 covers both black and white photography, processing and printing; and colour photography and film processing7 encourages study of the roles that photographs play and the structure of picture making, alongside technical skills
