SYNOPSIS: For most people, cameras take photographs in much the same way as bees make honey - inexplicably. In this excellent introduction to photography, Paul Petzold systematically explains everything about cameras and their use that is relevant to the newcomer, and to those who want to improve the quality of their photographs. Recent years have seen a profusion of new cameras in which many functions are now extremely simple, if not automatic. But whether a camera is the latest pocket instant or a sophisticated 35mm, there is still much for the owner to understand before he is capable of taking a photograph. Indeed, the most important part of a camera is the person behind the button. This book is for every amateur photographer and discusses in step-by-step procedure everything from changing a film to composing shots and doing your own developing and printing. It will give every owner more fund and satisfaction from this most rewarding of hobbies. Superb diagrams and photographs illustrate the text throughout, and the author's own photographs are a visual delight and a continual encouragement. Paul Petzold is the publishing director of Focal Press and the author of several books on photography. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
