Excellent Book for any Serious B&W Photographer December 24, 2003
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is one of a few books in this Ansel Adams series. He discusses a number of aspects of the print, it's limitations, and many techniques that can be used to exploit print characteristics. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is at all serious about B&W photography whether developing your own prints or not.
 A must have in the age of digital April 24, 2003
1 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book though dry and technical has plenty of information that is a must have for any aspiring photographer who wishes to push their black and white print skills further. Given that digital camera sales are now out stripping analog cameras will this book still have relevence?
Another Excellent Black and White Photography Book December 13, 2001
11 out of 14 found this review helpful
The last of a three book series, this volume provides comprehensive instructions detailing the developing process. Chapters on mounting and displaying photographs are at the books end completing the readers education. This book written by Ansel Adams, made famous for his B&W photographs, will disapoint any reader interested in the art of color photography. This three book collection is a must for any B&W photographer.
Cropping and Contrast Control: The Key Ingredients August 22, 2001
25 out of 29 found this review helpful
Despite the heavy emphasis on chemical and paper, this book's essentially about cropping, contrast control, and presentation. These are the core topics you'll need to master even if you only do digital photos. All the better if you use PhotoShop, because it recreates the controls (like burning and dodging) of a darkroom.One thing that may be disappointing is the focus on black and white. Color control is crucial in making color prints and intimately tied with contrast. The three books in this series can be read independently, but together provide a complete clinic from positioning the camera to displaying a final print.
This is a classic - you must own it!! August 4, 1998

Stop using this from the library... Just buy it and get it over with!!Ansel's fantastic images and stories combine with his technical discussions to provide the perfect insight into how to become the necessary craftsman. His uncompromising approach into printmaking and photography are clear and simple examples that any novice should at least start with. There are other books out there - but no better start than this. Enjoyable and instructive at the same time!
