 Camera Book Review April 9, 2008
While the writer is no longer with us, the book on cameras is a great find for anyone interested in 35mm photography.
The FIRST BOOK YOU SHOULD READ! October 23, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I got into photography about 3 years ago (digital) and read through about 2 dozen glossy "authoritative" books. None of which could explain the basics to relate ISO/fStop/Speed in a way that didn't assume you already knew what they were.
Most of the book relates to Large Format which may at first seem a bit off-putting to a novice, but after a few pages you'll see how it doesn't matter whether you're using an 8x10 antique or a digital point and shoot. The way they work is the same.
Ansel does an EXCELLENT job explaining the mechanics of light and photography while assuming the reader has some intelligence, makes it very accessible to everyone.
Get this book. Recommend it to all your photography friends. Get the next book "The Negative". You won't need to buy any other books. period.
The master of photography loves to teach... June 18, 2007
...and even with a DSLR, you can learn a lot from Adams. One can only wonder how much fun he'd have using a nice DSLR and Photoshop! I read this book in Photography class 12 years ago and I'm happy I bought it again. A must for all serious, student, amateur, professional, hobbyist photographers!
What more needs to be said.... April 10, 2007

Photography in the pure sense March 9, 2007

Adams' collection is a necessity for anyone who loves photography, either amateur or professional. We must understand the process of black and white photography in this intimate sense first and foremost.
