Photography by Barbara London & John Upton

By emphasizing both technique and visual awareness, the Sixth Edition of "Photography" by Barbara London and John Upton teaches the skills you will need to use the medium confidently and effectively. In particular, it features: Basic black-and-white photography first, followed by special techniques such as color photography, lighting and close-up photography. A completely updated chapter, Chapter 12, covers Digital Imaging, including information about posting pictures on the Internet and CD-ROM. Step-by-step demonstration images have been completely redrawn to show techniques more clearly and to focus on key details. "Lights Out" icons have been added to the step-by-step images to show when the room should be dark. A new, fully illustrated Troubleshooting Appendix diagnoses common problems and tells how to prevent them. For convenience, each major idea, skill or technique is covered on two facing pages. The work of professional photographers is highlighted both in images throughout the book and in "Photographer at Work" interviews.
