کتاب‌هایی از این دست برای عکاسای جدید عاشق ریتاچ‌های سنگین و تکنیک‌های نوین عکاسی، شاید اون قدر کاربردی نباشه و وارد شدن به این فاز از فن‌شناسی هم اون قدرها مورد نیاز یه عکاس اماتور و حتی حرفه‌ای که شغلش از این راه در حال چرخیدن هست، نباشه.
اما کسایی که قصد دارن یه پله روی عکاسی و مبانی فنی اون دقیق بشن، میتونن وارد این کتاب بشن.
نمیدونم که ایا این کتاب جز منابع دانشگاهی هست یا نه، اما خیلی به اون سبک ها نزدیکه.
من دوبار این کتاب رو برای کنکور کارشناسی ارشد خوندم، با اینکه مطالبش جز منابع آزمون نبود، اما خلاصه ی خوبی برای واحد فن شناسی به من داد.

I didn’t read this cover to cover, its a lengthy academic style textbook. However I read the five or six chapters that were relevant for me and loved it. This is definitely a book you won’t enjoy unless you have a niche interest in the science behind photography, it’s pretty nerdy. Noice tho
