- Black and White Photography : A Basic Manual
Took a photography course and our instructor (a photojournalist) recommended this as the "if you buy one book, buy this book" book. Very good value, includes recipies for mixing up the darkroom chemicals, tips on taking better picture, explanations of terms, etc. Has some great photographs as examples.....

Rating:

- Only buy this if you want to set up your own darkroom!
This book concentrates mostly on the science of black & white photography. It is perfect if you want to get a basic understanding of how a camera works and how to develop film and make your own prints. However, it offers no tips on the artistic aspect of black & white photography -- compostion, moods, emotions, etc.

- Vastly underrated, excellent book
A few years ago I did a 1:1 study with a retired fashion photographer who recommended this book. Even though I have been working in b/w for over 30 years I find the book useful. Nice to have all the basic info in one place and this book does that!! As to a lack of "artistic suggestions" in the book...well I have a huge library of texts that were purchased to help me learn the "art" of photogaphy. My retired friend taught me a valuable lesson, learn the technical from a book then shoot, shoot, shoot!! That's about the only way you will learn the "art" of it. I've been asked to teach an intro to b/w photography this summer and this will be the textbook for it.
