Outstanding Photos are Only Steps Away with This New Edition
What camera should you buy, and what are the best ways to use it? The answers are found in this major fourth revision of THE BASIC BOOK OF PHOTOGRAPHY. This classic guide has been a best-selling handbook for amateur and professional photographers for the past 23 years.
The much expanded 4th edition -- 560 pages and more than 300 photos and illustrations -- features the latest technologies and methods in the world of photography, including electronic imaging with digital cameras. Also covered are the innovative AP (Advanced Photo System) cameras, and computerized features of modern 35mm SLR (single lens reflex) and compact cameras.
This definitive guide takes you from buying a camera to understanding its controls, composing the best pictures, and showing off your results. Special sections of the book cover films, lenses, flash, filters, accessory equipment, travel photography, and even how to process films and make prints in your own darkroom. An all-inclusive glossary of photographic terms makes THE BASIC BOOK OF PHOTOGRAPHY of extra value to all photographers, whether a beginning snapshooter or an experience pro.
The authors -- Michele and Tom Grimm -- are a husband-and-wife team who have spent more than 25 years traveling the globe in search of the perfect photographic image. We now have a library of 150,000 photographs, many of which have been published worldwide. Tom also has written THE BASIC DARKROOM BOOK, a companion photography guide published by Plume/Penguin.
Tom Grimm is a freelance photographer based in Oregon who has spent more than 40 years behind a camera and in the darkroom. He has taught at UC Irvine and has traveled to more than 125 countries on assignment for major publications. He is the co-author of The Basic Book of Photography.
Michele and Tom Grimm are freelance photographers and writers who have written and illustrated a dozen other adult and children's books. They live in Oregon.
