Synopsis:

Black and white photography is the oldest and most enduring form of photography. It is also one of more popular forms of photography today. It is both a starting point for those new to photography who want to learn the nuts and bolts of taking pictures, as well as a specialized art form that enables shutterbugs to capture the emotions of their subjects-live or inanimate. Alpha Teach Yourself Black and White Photography in 24 Hours will be the aspiring hobbyist's or professional's best first book on photography, providing them with both the technical and creative skills needed to master the basics of photography and maximize the unique characteristics of black and white film.
