Product description

Topics

Guides Beginners
• Well-suited to beginners, the Getting Started section offers tips on selecting and loading film, focusing techniques, adjusting exposure, and creating the first pictures. For better understanding the development of photography, Chapter 10: The History of Photography covers the technical, social, and artistic progressions of photography since its inception.

Emphasizes Personal Choices
• Using the technical aspects of photography, such as selecting a shutter speed or point of view, this guide teaches students how these tools can be used to inform a more subjective understanding of photography, how to recognize a scene in regard to the ways a photograph can depict it, and how to best realize your own vision when shooting. The Seeing Like a Camera chapter continues on these points to instruct on selecting and adjusting imagery and how to photograph distinct subjects, such as people and landscapes.

Encourages Interactive Activity
• Dedicated 'Projects' boxes accompany the readings and provide different activities for students to try in order to reinforce the skills they have learned, across both technical and expressive spectra. Furthermore, these boxes also include "How Did You Do" questions to help students analyze their own process and technique based on the results. In Chapter 9, the Elements of Design section further aids in developing discussion and evaluation techniques.

Identifies How to Make Better Prints
• Helping to produce better prints in the darkroom, this guide teaches the how to fine-tune prints by burning and dodging areas and cropping the edges in order to better concentrate attention to the main subject. Additionally, an updated Chapter 8 on Digital Photography includes information on working with Photoshop for producing digital prints and creating a digital workflow.

Covers Autofocus and Exposure
• Specific attention is given to working with autofocus and auto exposure, and how both systems operate, what they can be used for, and when to manually override these settings for more personalized control.
