Camera Techniques

by Clyde Reynolds

Photography is a blend of art and science. To understand just how your camera translates your vision of real life into pictures on film you need to know a little of how it works, so that you can operate it without worrying. Camera Techniques explains the technology behind image making and shows you how to develop an eye for a good picture.

The book combines the knowledge of several experts to tell you all you need to handle your cameras, lenses and accessories with confidence. The contributions are bound together by the theme of making better photographs - choosing the most appropriate film, the best view, the right equipment, and selecting the settings and the moment you need to capture the essence of the scene in your photographs.

Clyde Reynolds has chosen the material to explain just how to achieve the pictures you want. Throughout, the book is illustrated with diagrams to make the more technical matters really clear. To most readers, though, the wide range of excellent photographs will prove of even greater interest and benefit. All in all, Camera Techniques is a book you need to help you take much better photographs every time you put your camera to your eye.
