Product Description

Book Description

The Film Developing Cookbook is an up-to-date manual for modern film development techniques. While the original Darkroom Cookbook focused entirely on photographic chemicals and formulae, this book concentrates on films, their characteristics, and the developers each requires for maximum control of the resulting image.

The Film Developing Cookbook specifically addresses the difficult subject of T-grain film development. It includes rarely found information on film development and the nature of film developers. The authors take bold and controversial stances on many widely accepted film developing dogmas. They tackle many of the widely accepted "myths" of film development. They reject the trend toward `scientific evaluation' of films and developers in favor of the photographer developing a personal aesthetic without relying exclusively on densitometry or H&D curves.

Steve Anchell is a contributing editor to Outdoor Photographer and PhotoWork magazines. He has written columns, feature articles, and interviews for Camera & Darkroom, View Camera, PIC, Shutterbug, Photo Shopper, and PhotoPro magazines. His previous two books with Focal Press, The Darkroom Cookbook and The Variable Contrast Printing Manual are photography best-sellers.

Steve's photographs have been exhibited in galleries and are shown in private collections. He photographs and prints both color and black-and-white with 35mm, 2¼ and large-format ccameras. He has conducted over 80 photographic and darkroom workshops since 1979. Steve is currently the program director for the Photographer's Formulary Workshops in Condon, Montana. In early 1998, the first collection of his personal work, entitled The Nude at Big Sur, will be published by Whitefish Editions.

Bill Troop is a highly respected independent photochemist.

Essential reading 17 July 2009

By Peter Williams

Format:Paperback

Great stuff, years of collective experience in here, all the nitty gritty theory and practical considerations stuff laid out in a logical and clear way. Especially helpful if you just want to shoot photographs but care about quality, but don't want to spend hours evaluating options. It fills the gap between bare bones manufacturers data sheets (and claims) and trawling through "forum world" piecing together knowledge. Highly recommended.

The best book about film developing! 5 Feb 2010

By Darina Gromyko

Format:Paperback

The book is a unique guide and manual for those who is interested in film development. After reading this book you will easily decide which film developer and fixer are suitable in your special case. Besides, you will understand the principle of film development and what are the components in developer and fixer, the information hardly provided by photochemistry producers.
Highly recommended!
