Thread: Reference book recommendations

  1. #1

    Reference book recommendations

    Our local library is bringing the photography collection up-to-date, so there's an opportunity to build a nice collection of instructional works. It would be g reat if photographers would be willing to share recommendations about titles/aut hors that have proven valuable to you. General technique, darkroom formulas and practise, format-specific, lighting, digital, Photoshop, composition--any and a ll aspects of the craft are needed.

    Steve Anchell's cookbooks- Darkroom, and Film Developing. Ctein's Post Exposure, and The Ansel Adams Guides, Vol. 1 and 2, by John P. Schaeffer. I also like Jack Dykinga's new book- Large Format Nature Photography. These would be valuable additions to a photography section of any library.

    Just to clarify a comment made above, "The Film Developing Cookbook", Anchell and Troop, Focal Press 1998. This is a must have, not for the discussion of formulas, but for the chapters on film and developer combinations.

    Also recommended is "Examples, The Making of 40 Photographs" Ansel Adams, NYGS, 1983.
