Book Reviews of The Negative (Ansel Adams Photography, Book 2)
Book Review: Excellent book, for the scientifically minded
Summary: 4 Stars
Ansel does an excellent, very thorough job of defining the job of getting your visualised image to come out on the negative and print. The book doesn't get five stars from me though, for two reasons. Firstly, the style is very dry, and the explanations aimed strictly at the scientifically minded. He is a university lecturer, not a teacher. If you're looking for an explanation of the zone system, there are better summaries of it written by others. A quick search around the net will yield some.Secondly, there are too many specific references and dependencies on photographic equipment, which quite frankly are out of date, or getting there very quickly. In terms of learning technique, much of what he says doesn't apply directly any more. The principles are still the same, however, and it's still an excellent book to have; to learn and as a reference.
