Автор: Norman Axford, Geoffrey G Attridge, Sidney Ray, Ralph Jacobson Название: The manual of photography: photographic and digital imaging, 9th Edition Издательство: Focal Press Год: 2000 ISBN: 978-0240515748 Язык: English Формат: pdf Размер: 10,3 mb Страниц: 459
The Manual has aided many thousands of photographers in their careers. The ninth edition now brings this text into a third century, as the first edition dates from 1890.
Major new updates for the ninth edition include:
— Coverage of digital techniques - more emphasis on electronic and hybrid media Greater coverage of colour measurement, specification and reproduction - illustrated with a new colour plate section
— Dealing with the fundamental principles as well as the practices of photography and imaging, the Manual topics ranging from optics to camera types and features, to colour photography and digital image processing and manipulation.
The authors write in a reader-friendly style, using many explanatory illustrations and dividing topics into clear sections.
