Film photography has recently witnessed a significant renaissance
and not just among those who have previously shot with film.
Interest in film photography and analogue photography has also
grown enormously among those who have only ever shot digitally. In
The Film Photography Handbook, 3rd Edition, authors Chris Marquardt
and Monika Andrae speak to both types of film photographers as they
offer an easy-to-understand, complete resource to shooting film. In
this updated and expanded edition, they address today s working
climate, including such topics as the hybrid film/digital workflow,
the digitization of negatives, and using smartphones for light
metering and to assist in film processing. This book is intended
for anyone who is curious about film and analogue photography,
whether you need a refresher course or are discovering this
wonderful format for the first time. You ll learn how easy it is to
shoot and process black-and-white film at home, and that just a
little special equipment is needed to get into film photography.
You ll learn all about: The important differences between film and
digital photography Numerous film cameras, as well as how to buy a
second-hand camera Film formats, from 35 mm to medium format and
large format Exposure settings, tonal values, and tonal

chemicals, and workflow Scanning negatives to bring your analogue

embracing analogue photography can also prove to be a great
inspiration for your own digital photography, as well. The Film
Photography Handbook, 3rd Edition covers it all from the technical
to the creative and will have you shooting film in no time, whether
it s with an old rangefinder, an inexpensive Holga, or a

The very thing that makes wide-angle photography so compelling also
makes it a challenge: While you're sure to capture a vast scene
using a wide-angle lens, it can be difficult to direct the viewer's
attention when so many elements are included in an image. For many
photographers, the results of their wide-angle attempts are a
disappointment and they just can't seem to achieve that "Wow" they
are hoping for in their images. Whether you're new to wide-angle
lenses or you've been frustrated by them for a long time, expert
photographer, teacher, and author Chris Marquardt is here to help.
Wide-Angle Photography is packed with information--as well as
beautiful and inspiring photography--that will help you take your
wide-angle image making to the next level. In a friendly,
accessible manner Chris walks you through in-depth discussions of
both the advantages and the pitfalls of wide-angle photography, the
fundamentals you need to know, composition and design principles,
and the specific genres in which wide-angle lenses can be used to
create outstanding images--not only for landscape photography, but
for portrait, street, architectural, and interior photography, as
well. Throughout the book, Chris offers hands-on exercises that
drive home the concepts being taught so you can learn by doing.
Chris also dedicates two full chapters to tilt-shift lenses for
those who are interested in exploring and maximizing the
fascinating capabilities these kinds of lenses offer. Topics
include: Types of lenses and filters Understanding depth of field
Angles of view, crop factors, and focal lengths Handling distortion
and aberrations Composition, design, and context Point of view and
perspective Wide-angle for various genres Panoramas and stitching
images Tilt-shift lenses Hands-on exercises And much more...
