Reviews

[Ramakanth Domada · Rating 3 out of 5]

Has good suggestions about general night shooting. But the book is quite old in terms of technology so most information about settings are for film camera and film development. Not that useful for DSLR or mirror less camera owners. If you own a film/ Polaroid then this would be a nice book for you.

Great book if you like to shoot with film. My copy is from 1988, from a time when film was the only option.

relevant only for B&W film shooters, but good info for those shooting film. Andrew gets it.
