Customer Reviews

learn the art

Photography is a nice mix of art and science. this book, and all other books in the Kodak workshop series, focus on these 2 sides. Really good books for whoever wants to be serious about expressing art thru photography.

Great summary for a workshop with assignments

This small book summarizes almost everything the begginer to intermediate available light photographer needs to know (zone system not included - buy Adams "The Negative"), and includes several technical tables, understandably mentioning only Kodak products. It's pleasant to find a book that describes what I have been using for years without having read it before.

Excellent

Although the example pictures look like they were taken quiet some time ago, this book is very up-to-date in my opinion. I've searched through the book stores, and I think that this is the best guide for this particular topic. Easy to read, good examples, etc., "suggested exposure settings" table that comes with it, is very useful for a beginner like me.
