Focal Press Creative Camera Control by P.Laytin

Written by an experienced teacher, Peter Laytin, Creative Camera Control, Third Edition is a handy guide that offers clear explanations of some complex, but important issues such as depth of field, aperture, and shutter speed.

We fully endorse the view of Shutterbug magazine who said they would happily use Creative Camera Control as a text for a basic photography class or workshop or recommend it to someone trying to learn photography on their own. It is that good.

For beginning and intermediate photographers, this proven text provides the fundamentals of film photography in an easy-to-follow style. You will learn, in this step-by-step approach, to understand the inter-relationship of the camera, lens and film, and achieve a growing level of confidence.

Through control over the camera, you will develop the skills necessary for the art of creative photography. This updated edition also offers important information for the digital camera user and new photo illustrations that show the use of black and white filters.

This 152-page paperback includes: The 35mm Camera; Lenses; The Meter System; Creative Control Via Halves and Doubles; Film; Light Concepts and Creative Control; Miscellaneous Tips; New Technologies.
