5.0 out of 5 stars The Photographers Bible, 28 July 2008

By

Terry Tozer "TJSKA.com" (Reading, Bracknell, Brighton & Hove, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The 35mm Photographer's Handbook (Comprehensively revised and updated for a new generation of photographers) (Hardcover)

I've been using this book now for nearly 30 years since it first came out and yes, there may be "better" books on the market, but none that are small, compact, neat, clearly & logically laid out, easy to read as this one is. Another bonus is that it's just the right handy sort of size that you can carry around with you on field trips. It's bound in a nice stiff water proof cover too.

I agree that it's a beginner's book, but there aren't many that can give you such a head start in photography as this one can.

It's such a pity that those who negate its qualities, do so anonymously and don't provide ANY examples of what they consider to be so-called "Better" books! Be wary of giving any credence to reviews written by "A Customer" that don't have the courage of their own convictions.

This copy can be used by both Manual & Digital SLR Camera users equally alike. The beauty of this book is that it's jam packed full of beautiful photographs of all sorts that truly are an inspiration to motivate you to go and try the same sort of shots yourself or at the very least give you plenty of creative ideas to create similar material.

There are many versions of this book available, so you may wish to search for "The 35mm Photographer's handbook Calder" to see all the different versions so that you can find the one that suits you & your budget.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well rounded introduction to film or digital photography, 23 Aug 2011

By

Mr. A. Ellis "Alex Ellis" (CAMBS) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The 35mm Photographer's Handbook (Comprehensively revised and updated for a new generation of photographers) (Hardcover)

I originally read the 1970s edition of this book which I inherited from my grandfather. It was a detailed introduction into photography and I used it to improve my style and understanding of digital photography. Different subject genres are covered such as photo-journalism, black & white, architecture, sport and travel. The advice is pragmatic, concise and easy to apply.
Some years later I've purchased the updated edition and I wasn't disappointed, now I'm more interested in film photography and this book has continued to inspire and teach me.

Buy this book if you are looking to understand the whole workflow of digital or film 35mm photography with an emphasis on taking the pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Handy book, 7 Jan 2003

This review is from: The 35mm Photographer's Handbook (Comprehensively revised and updated for a new generation of photographers) (Hardcover)

A compact and informative handbook for budding photographers. This was my guide whilst I took a trusty old pentax slr to South Africa and it has improved my photography without a shadow of a doubt. Well worth buying, whether you're a beginner or an established photographer.
