GUIDE TO PHOTOGRAPHY

Paul Petzold, Boots 1980.

For most people, cameras take photographs in the same way as bees make honey – inexplicably. In this excellent introduction to photography, Paul Petzold systematically explains everything about cameras and their use that is relevant to the newcomer, and to those who want to improve the quality of their photographs.

Recent years have seen a profusion of new cameras in which many functions are now extremely simple - if not automatic, but whether a camera is the latest pocket instant or a sophisticated 35mm, there is still much for the owner to understand before he is capable of taking a photograph.

This book is for every amateur photographer and discusses step-by-step procedures in what you need to know. Although to a large extent digital photography has made the processing of pictures a very simple event, the rules and conditions which give rise to those photographs remain largely unchanged. A handy book for the person who wishes to get a little more serious about their photographs.

Both the book and the dust jacket are in good condition.
