When a book has a dozen editions and has been around for more than 50 years, you know it has to be good. This was a great intro for intermediate photographers, with great technical details, diagrams and explanations as well as practical tips for better composition. I skipped a few of the chapters dedicated to film

Um livro muito interessante para iniciados e mesmo profissionais da fotografia. Gostei e aconselho. Tenho o mesmo livro de 1987 que também é excelente com técnicas da fotografia analógica.
Drew
Fantastic textbook, really well-presented and just as useful for beginners starting out as it is for the seasoned photographer. Highly recommended.
Sina
حاوی مطالبی بسیار مفید
تنها چون ویرایش کتاب مربوط به سال 2000 میباشد، مطالب مربوط به دوربین‌های دیجیتال بسیار کم و غیرمفید هستند

Muito bom para aprendizagem dos meandros da fotografia.

Excelente livro pra quem está comçando a fotografar.

Recommended from Julie Downie.

Not a 'picture' book but a good technical manual.
Mahdi Meskin
It is too basic and also is full of useless information for new photographers.
