About this title

Synopsis

This is the first book in photography devoted entirely to explaining, confronting, and overcoming the challenges encountered in high-resolution photography. It consolidates current knowledge about clarity in photographic processes, offers insight into the principle and theory of photographic sharpness and resolution, and sorts out, from the conflicting photographic philosophies, techniques that are consistent with these principles. This text will help photographers at all levels to achieve mastery over high-resolution techniques and an understanding of the principles of accurate image formation by examining photographic clarity that goes to the limits of the silver halide process. Williams' investigation into this subject is exhaustive and his careful explanations are enhanced by helpful illustrations, tables, and photographs.
