a great classic, one little remark for the publisher. April 24, 2007
This is an excellent book that will help experienced and newcomers in photography. Pay attention to the Zone system that Adams has devised. It will realy help you take total control over your pictures with a helpfull and very creative perspective. The last part of the book (developing negatives) might be ommited by the person who is into digital, although it helped me comprehend a lot about the various Adobe Photoshop features and relate them to classic photography.
One little remark I have to make is for the publisher. The book is printed into gloss paper (all the three books in the series) with a high reflectance index. This results in dificulty reading the book at certain angles.
Outstanding companion to The Camera January 31, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
A must read. The explanation of the zone system is outstanding. I had taken a number of skyline photographs of Austin which when reviewed by professional photographers got 2 thumbs up. After looking at them with a critical eye on exposure and armed with my new understanding of the zone - I retook those same pictures and WOW. What an amazing ability to move your camera off of matrixed metering and know how to really set the exposure for what you want to show. Also helps you understand the tradeoffs the camera is making in it's exposure settings so you can be more purposeful in changes you might make. A critical read if you also intend to ever move into large format photography.

Excellent Even For Digital Photographers! January 11, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Although I did classic film photography for several years, I am now just digital. This is still a great book as it covers the zone system (still great for digital) and darkroom techniques that can easily be applied to the "digital darkroom". GREAT BOOK!
Art at its best. September 6, 2006

What can one say that has already not been said about Ansel Adams. I too am on the digital wave, but this book reminded me of what a pleasure making (art)a photograph can be. The information helped me to see my subjects from the negatives perspective. Very good to excellent for improving all of my photography.
