...and even with a DSLR, you can learn a lot from Adams. One can only wonder how much fun he'd have using a nice DSLR and Photoshop! I read this book in Photography class 12 years ago and I'm happy I bought it again. A must for all serious, student, amateur, professional, hobbyist photographers!

The FIRST BOOK YOU SHOULD READ!

I got into photography about 3 years ago (digital) and read through about 2 dozen glossy "authoritative" books. None of which could explain the basics to relate ISO/fStop/Speed in a way that didn't assume you already knew what they were.

Most of the book relates to Large Format which may at first seem a bit off-putting to a novice, but after a few pages you'll see how it doesn't matter whether you're using an 8x10 antique or a digital point and shoot. The way they work is the same.

Ansel does an EXCELLENT job explaining the mechanics of light and photography while assuming the reader has some intelligence, makes it very accessible to everyone.

Get this book. Recommend it to all your photography friends. Get the next book "The Negative". You won't need to buy any other books. period.

Camera Book Review

While the writer is no longer with us, the book on cameras is a great find for anyone interested in 35mm photography.

What more needs to be said....

The Master giving us his own perspective and insight, in his own words. Get it and enjoy. :)

great book for liquid photography

This is the best book i have read. It has given me more information then i could have hoped for. A must read for any film photographer who want to know more about cameras.

The Camera, together with The Negativeand The Print,comprise The Ansel Adams Photography Series, a legendary triad of books about photographic technique that has become the most influential "how-to"series on photography ever written. The first edition of this series was completed in the 1950s.Adams completely revised and updated it just a few years before his death, making it his last word on the technical mastery of his medium. Three generations of photographers have learned how to approach the artistic possibilities of their art form through this seminal series. Now available in paperback, it remains as vital today as when it was first published. The Cameracovers 35 mm, medium format, and large-format view cameras and offers detailed advice on camera components such as lenses, shutters, and light meters.Adams' concepts of"visualization" and "image management" are the philosophical cornerstones of the book. Extensively illustrated with photographs by Adams as well as instructive line drawings, this classic manual belongs on every serious photographer's bookshelf
