  • Book One of the Series, a good place to start

    Volume 1 of the Ansel Adams books making up the film photographer's Bible. This is the start of the series of books that present the basics of film photography as the name states, The Camera. While it was written for film photography the principles it is also meaningful for digital photographers too as shutter speeds, apertures, ISO speeds and more carry through to digital picture taking. It contains more advanced ideas as well.

  • A great read for all serious photographers

    I think this is almost a must read for any serious photographer just starting out, or even that has been doing it for awhile. Obviously technology has advanced since the times that Ansel was active, but the ideas that he reviews, that lead to his formulation of great photographs all translate over easily to newer cameras and equipment.

  • Good

    First in a series of 5 books. It’s kind of old in view of the new photography technologies but the basics don’t change. Worth getting all five books.
