Product Description
This pioneering book bridges the gap between traditional and digital camera and darkroom techniques, easing the transition from one system to the other while developing an understanding of the scope and importance of the evolution. Photography is investigated as a visual art throughout and cultural references provide a solid understanding of the power and significance of the medium. Readers learn not only how to make photographs-but also how to evaluate their photographs from both technical and aesthetic viewpoints.

Photography for the 21st Century September 28, 2008
I am a total amateur photographer and am using this book to learn how to take better pictures. It is clear, simple and very informative. I feel like the quality of my pictures has improved in just a few short weeks.
Extraordinarily comprehensive July 21, 2008

In the 45+ years I have been a photojournalist I have never come across such a wealth of detailed technical and aesthetic information. Being relatively new to digital photography, I expected the depth of digital detail this book provides. But, the foundation of photographic principles with its genesis in film - lighting, grain, movement, blur, and process, is where this book illuminates the important matters that I didn't know, or know I needed to know, to more effectively create meaningful photographs.
This is the Bible of photographic knowledge. It explains in detail what the digital darkroom is about, and why we can't just cavalierly throw digital adjustments onto our work. (We're throwing away the good stuff without knowing.) Knowing "why and how" prevents us from doing permanent destructive damage to our image files, whether digital or film.
Get this book. You'll be saying "Oh, I didn't know that!" And your photographs will thank you.
