DESCRIPTION:
This fourth edition of Beyond the Zone System makes the science of photographic sensitometry both accessible and useful to interested photographers. This book relates theory to practice in a way that promotes a true partnership of science and art.Beyond the Zone System bridges the gap between the more theoretical aspects of the photographic process and the popular empirical procedures used by many photographers in the attempt to predict and control the quality of their photographs in practice.This book is intended primarily for photographers who use large-format cameras and black-and-white sheet film, but the basic information about how the B&W photographic materials and processes work will be useful to users of any B&W film format.Beyond the Zone System, 4th ed. This book relates theory to practice in a way that promotes a true partnership of science and art.. Instead of describing rote procedures to be followed blindly, this book provides the basis for understanding what needs to be done and why. will appeal to any serious photographer interested in knowing how the materials and processes of black-and-white photography work. It will appeal to any serious photographer interested in knowing how t
Beware buying this "fourth edition" Beware buying this "fourth edition" it is not. It is advertised as being the fourth, but it is the first. This is what I purchased "This fourth edition of Beyond the Zone System makes the science of photographic sensitometry both accessible and useful to interested photographers.". Amazon Customer said Five Stars. I'm very happy!. "A great integration for Ansel Adams Zone System" according to Ansel. You can learn something more about sensitometry and Zone System. A great book. It takes care of the entire process, from metering (not only with spotmeter, but even with incident meter) to the sensitometry of paper and film considering the processes as the result of just one theory, which considers that film density range has to fit paper density range. It goes deeply inside sensitometry principles. Really good.
"A really wonderful, easy to understand breakdown of the zone system for beginning photographers."-Ruth Adams, University of Kentucky
