5.0 out of 5 stars A technical Tour de Force, 1 Jul 2003
By A Customer
The intentions of this impressive book are clear inside the first chapter. No preamble but straight into some scientific and mathematical principles for the advanced darkroom user. Although fairly well sprinkled with photographs this is not a coffe table book, instead it presents the authors wide technical and practical knowledge of advanced monochrome darkroom techniques. It assumes a degree of competence, and equipment, but then offers many practical ideas backed by sound and clearly presented theory. The text is very up to date too, discussing modern computer printing inks and techniques for example. There is less detail about digital photography in general, perhaps the remit of another volume as it is clear that the authors have considerable expertise here too.

Strongly recomended to the experienced darkroom user looking for fresh ideas and challenges.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for aspiring fine art photographers, 9 Jun 2006
By Kevin Danks (Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I switched back to film this year. My first forays into the darkroom were a complete revelation, but I realised that I didn't really understand what the materials were doing and although good results were easy to obtain by just following Ilford's instructions, I wanted a better grasp of how I could control the results. I hope it doesn't sound too pretentious to say that I want to be a fine art photographer, so I went looking for guidance.

This book is a good place to start. On one level it is a very comprehensive technical guide to exposure and development, but at the same time you can dip into it for an overview of key topics. Gentle introductions to very technical concepts are developed later in more detail, building up to a complete guide to monochrome *film* techniques.

For example, the fundamental concept of how exposure affects negative density, and how the subject brightness range relates to the usable density range on the negative and then on the paper, are things that every photographer should know. The book covers techniques to manage real-world levels of contrast within the capability of the materials, so if you know that we expose for the shadows and develop for the highlights, but don't know why, or how to capture a scene with 11 stops of contrast on paper that covers only 7 stops, then it's all here, plus much, much more.

This is not a book of quick tips for beginners, although there are plenty of simple techniques presented for those who don't have the time or inclination for the whole Zone System testing regime. Neither can it be digested in one or two sittings, rather it is something that you need to take slowly and work through methodically. The case studies at the end of the book, based on photos taken by the authors, offer a practical illustration of how these techniques can improve your photographs and give a context to the technical material.

Film photography, and especially black & white film, is undergoing something of a revival at the moment. For those who are serious about pursuing the art and science of analogue photography, this book is essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating Technical Discourse, 17 April 2006
By Mr. J. Hill (Grantham, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The authors of the articles in this book have carried out the processes they describe themselves. If you want a brilliant insight in to what is and is not possible in B&W very clearly and simply described then you will love this book. It is a book you can dip into for a few minutes and gain some valuable information as well as deserving serious study over longer periods. It is probably aimed at the serious B&W photographer with a good knowledge of the art.

3.0 out of 5 stars Useless for digital
As a digital-darkroom enthusiast I was very disappointed in this book.

It is essentially a collection of short articles on advanced darkroom technique. Read more
