Ansel Adams: The Camera (The Ansel Adams Photography Series 1)

This book is a classic. On the face of it, you would question the relevance of the book in today's digital age. However, when I started to read the book, I marvelled at the beauty of the concepts that he outlined, and the clarity with which he explained them. His understanding of the camera, it's principles, is masterly. His lessons, pithy as they are, on visualisation, are timeless. They are as valid today as when he wrote them, and will be valid tomorrow. The principles of the camera, lenses, depth of field, hyper focal distance etc are valid today as they were yesterday, and his handling of the subject is masterly For one, like me, who would like to experiment again with the old cameras, this book its invaluable A masterpiece. A gem

Ansel Adams is no longer corporeally walking the earth, calculating exposures and producing photographic visions. But his legacy, his works and his writings live on. And indeed, the Big A was a master of his craft and his written legacy still holds value even in the face of changing technology. Digital cameras have remapped much regarding how photography is done and at Universities, wet photography has been almost entirely dropped from curriculums in favor of digital media technologies. The question might for some be, is what the Big A wrote, still applicable? Yes it is. First, wet photography has not been totally eliminated. It may be argued that there are certain photographic results which cannot be obtained by digital photography that the film camera was capable of. Perhaps. But undoubtedly, obtaining a first hand and masterful knowledge of photography, digital or wet, and in particular what was done to conceive good end images, and technologically achieve those results as Ansel did, is applicable today. It's just done differently. What does not yet exist, is a good masterful book, such as Ansel's, which goes into the detail and breadth to explain how to achieve those similar results with digital media. To that end, I highly recommend Ansel Adams' book series as an intellectual stimulant which every photographer should digest wholly. Afterwards, the digital means to achieving the same levels of image fidelity and adjustments, still based on the zone system, will be at least suggested. Digital photographers exposed to Ansel's views on his craft will then find stimulus to fill in the blanks when attempting similar fidelity and adjustments with digitally obtained photographs.

Ansel Adams deserves a lot of credit for getting photography recognized as an art as well as technical advances in the field. Even though he worked with film (mainly black and white), and large format cameras, the principles he discusses in this book "The Camera" as well as his other books are still relevant today and found in modern incarnations in digital cameras, Photoshop, and the like. For anyone who is serious about photography and interested in understanding the underpinnings more deeply in order to take better photos rather than editing them into a better state afterwards, I recommend this book. I do however have to include the comment that Ansel Adams, while an artistic genius, was also very detail oriented and his writing, while enlightening, is sometimes dry and tedious. -William Milberry

This is for those who want learn from A to Z and not miss things along the way. If you want a fundamental understanding of how the camera and lenses work, regardless of image capture technology, this is your book. This is the true student of photographys place to start. If you just bought, or are impatient to buy, a DSLR and want to be competent quickly, this is not your book. There are certainly books more focused on todays technology, telling you what you need to know, and only what you need to know, to use the latest cameras. Such books would also explain the many shortcuts we have access to now that were not available with film. For many of us, that is not enough. It does not seem overly burdened by equipment of years past. It does talk about things that can be done without the equipment limitations many of us didn't know we had. It gives you a working understanding of the camera that you could spend a lifetime exploring.

Photography is my new found love for the past 4 years and I have always been impressed with Ansel's work. What I did realize about this book is, if your a digital photographer the perspective is a bit different. As I said Ansel is a genus, but his perspective is film and the thinking is just a bit different.

While a lot in this book may seem outdated at first, if you ever want to have any skill at photography and truly control your camera in manual mode everything in this book will be useful. For example the long section on large format view cameras seems outdated (for most users anyways) until you realize it explains in detail the effects of having your lens and film/sensor shifted at different angles or directions to change depth of field and lines of convergence and potential vignetting (relevant for tilt shift lenses). Very in depth explanations of many of the most basic principals and concepts of photography. This is not the DSLR for dummies book. This book really only works as part of the set of three though as they reference each other and build on concepts. It can be a bit dry at times (as in dull) and very technical (he doesn't dumb things down very often) and I would expect retention of the information would be a problem for someone starting from scratch in a single read through. It is a book that likes to explain "why" things in photography happen instead of just telling you that they happen, which is critical to really taking control of your exposures.

This book is very dated and there is not a lot to learn in today's context. The only thing I liked are the photographs and may be I can learn from them something (combining them with the zone system explained in book 2 - The Negative). I don't think you would miss a lot by not buying this book.

This book, as well as The Negative and The Print, are not formatted for any Kindle device. They are made as simple screen copies of the twofold pages and cannot be zoomed in to be read. No use of any Kindle functionality and impossible to read even with a loop. Do not buy.

This book is first of trilogy of Ansel Adams - one of the greatest aesthetic photography ideologists of 20 century, and this particular edition is the latest, it was edited considering modern tendencies of digital and optics. This book is ideal for neophytes of photography, it explaining all technical fundamentals of photography, including theory and technical aspects, and preparing reader for following parts (negative and print). Book includes very useful intertext system with "links", glossary, a lot of pictures and schemes. The text of book is very clear, straight and not too "pro" and scientific, even few mathematics formulas are very clear (and I'm not a math person at all). This book is essential to any begginer - film or digital, truly bible of photography that raised more than one generation of photographers. Best present for those who are interested in photography and best guide for those who's studying (and probably for those who's teaching as well, to get idea of step-by-step explanation). What is really good about this book that you can always refer to it if you need to clear and refresh any part or formula using glossary or index.

This is a great book for anyone interested in enhancing their knowledge about film photography. I'd recommend it for anyone interested in purchasing and using a film camera. Just as the title suggests, this book is about the camera itself. There's a useful chapter on lenses that will help you decide which type of lens to buy for your shooting needs. Plus there's a good chapter on image management: how to compose shots to create visually interesting photographs. I've read all three books in this series, and while they do lean on the technical side I still consider them essential references for film camera enthusiasts.

Very imformative. A must for every serious fotographer. Unluckily the condition of the copy is much worse than advertised.

I am by no means an accomplished or experienced photographer but I enjoy taking pictures of my surroundings. In particular, nature and architecture. I got "The Camera" because I figured that if I wanted to pick up some tips on nature photography than I may as well learn from the master. If you shoot digital than there are parts of the book that aren't particularly useful but it is still very interesting to learn a bit about how Ansel Adams produced all of those amazing pictures. If you are interested in photography at all as an art form than I highly recommend this book.

In beautiful shape. Good price. Took awhile to get here, but 2020. Responded to inquiries promptly.

I bought this book after taking a photo class at a local community college and was attempting to start on the trail of becoming a serious amateur photographer. This book was _exactly_ what I needed. It explains all the details of all the modern cameras you are likely to find. Small, Medium and Large format cameras. Think a pinhole camera is the best? It isn't, and the plusses and minuses of pinhole cameras are discussed in this book. He covers all forms of shutters. Range finders. Dual-lens cameras. Everything. If you are looking for an understanding of different cameras and their pros & cons, this is the book to get.

The advice that Ansel gives in this book is applicable to all types of photography, including digital, and no matter how much you think you know, you will learn something. I found that reading the Ansel Adams Photography Series has changed the way that I look at photography in general.

This is the second of Ansel's books that I've got (1st one was The Negative) and it hasn't disappointed. His view point as an artists and a practitioner of photographic science covers the whole gamut. He clearly understood the medium and the tools. He was current with the technology of his time and is able to see how it fits it the process. Reading these books serves to remind me of the basics & help "reset" me when I go astray or forget.

I find this book very helpful as well as other Adam's books, I read it for the first time at a public library many years ago and now I can say I own it. We miss you Ansel RIP.

The book gives a view into the mind and workings of a true American master of photography. The book is somewhat dated and refers to the larger format cameras often but, it often like wise tells the photographer a great deal about composition. Photography is basically the same from composition to workings of the camera. I would recommend this book to anyone from Tyro to enthusiasts so get it and enjoy.

Just buy this one. Technical knowledge, practical application, and photographic technique. There is a reason this man is a legend.

It is the best book about analog photo you can read!

Was a gift

Let me start with the fact that I've had high school and college classes on photography so I already had some preconceived notions. This book helped change some of those. Mr. Adams works in large format (8x10 I believe), black and white, sheet film. That matters nothing to the education you can get from this book. He starts from the bottom up and explains everything in clear terms, always focusing on how the term or action relates to taking the picture. He could have gone way technical but he stops short and you can tell he wants to teach us to see and to use our tools (whichever ones we use.) If you are new to DSLR photogrpahy, SLR photography or have a loved one who wants to do better at amateur photography, this is the book to get them started. Whether you are a portrait taker, nature photographer, found object, animal or a mix, this book will serve you well, especially those with little or no training. Thanks Mr. Adams! May we all rise to your level of artistic integrity and skill.

Very well put together book . Every photographer should read .

I've taken pictures for years - many of them very good. But after reading this book and understanding what happens after you click the shutter - the quality of my photographs has improved dramatically. Now I spend a little more time thinking about what I'm doing and knowing what I'm going to get before I click. An absolute must read for anyone that wants to move beyond recording life's moments to creating life's memories.

This is a great book to begin to understand photography as a whole. The technical aspects and scientific principles presented serve to create an understanding of light and perspective at an elemental level and thus negates the fact that it was written well before the digital age. In fact, I feel I came away from the book having a more well rounded thinking about photography because I learned how things used to be done. I'm looking forward to reading book 2 in the series.

I am not a fan of Ansel Adams' photography, but I am a big fan of his instructive books on photography. This is the best book that I have come across for a basic explanation of cameras and how they work (e.g., aperture, shutter speed, hyperfocal distance, different types of cameras). I purchased and read this book about 4-5 years ago when I was really getting into photography, but now, with time, I can really see how I have benefited from it.

There is less information for the photographers. The information provided by the equipment are extremely outdated.

DATED INFO BUT A GOOD INFORMATIVE READ OVERALL. MAXR

Beautiful book

The first book sent to me was not quite in the condition I had hoped for. This seller replaced the book and I am donating the first book to our small local library. A seller you can depend on.

Good book but my least favorite in the series. "the Negative" is the one you want if you shoot film.

THIS IS WONDERFUL

This book (part of a three part series) is the definitive work on photography. While Ansel Adams discusses prints, the application for digital is the same. This is required reading for anyone serious about photography and the process!

A good general discussion of the operating principles of cameras and the different types. Even thought today virtually everything is digital, anyone would benefit from reading the works of this great master.

I am still working my way through this book. It seems to be one of the best textbooks I have ever read. I think it will become my Bible.

What more could one ask than wisdom from one of the best ever!! I bought the whole series, The Camera, The Negative and The Print. Ansel knew it all and did it all and with these books he tells you how to do it all as well.

The book arrived on time and is in very good shape. Considering the price, this is a great deal. Thanks.

Although an abridged version of the original, it remains a good book for the serious black and white photographer. It is almost impossible (and very costly) to find the original book, therefore, this makes for a good substitute. It was delivered on time. Great buy.

Very good, and besides had been writen many years ago, it's still actual!

The text is so small it is unreadable. Wish I could return it. Total waste of money...

Whether you are a newbie or a long time pro photographer this is a must in every photographers library. It applies to techniques with every kind of camera from small digitals to large format view cameras.

Very pleased with all aspects of this purchase. Recommend this product and seller.

This book is written with a lot of clarity and really gets to the essence of how cameras work, how to compose photographs, and how to change the look of your photographs. Just what I expected in a book from a true master of his craft.

...and even with a DSLR, you can learn a lot from Adams. One can only wonder how much fun he'd have using a nice DSLR and Photoshop! I read this book in Photography class 12 years ago and I'm happy I bought it again. A must for all serious, student, amateur, professional, hobbyist photographers!

This was a Christmas present for my son, a photography buff. This was a replacement for an earlier copy that I had purchased through Amazon that was not as described - advertised in New Condition but highlighted throughout first chapter. This copy at half of the cost of the first that I purchased, was in excellent condition and he loves it!

This is a fantastic book for finding out about the details of how a camera works. Despite how much equipment has changed (especially with changeover from film to digital), not much of what is in this book has changed.

the pages cannot be formatted to a large enough size because the pages are preserved to the original

First of all I must state that I think Ansel Adams was the world's best landscape photographer.I own 20 of his photo books.I liked this book as the master's instructions are easy to understand and there are many new photos of the master's that I do not have in my 20 book collection..I would give the book 5 stars if there was not so much information on film which of course that was all there was when this book was written.It covers all sizes of cameras and a lot about lenses.It also goes into pre visualization which Ansel believed in so much.I find it has helped me in planning to take a picture and to take my time and think things out to what I am taking the picture for.A good read.

good read

Although this book is a little antiquated, A.A. provides the reader with much of his knowledge and expertise regarding visualization, aperture, shutter speeds and the "science" that goes along with taking great photos.

I bought this book for my nephew who is getting really in to photography. It is easy to understand and very informative about the basics of camera use. The book also has some amazing Ansel Adams pictures in it as well. I would definately recommend it for a beginner to intermediate photographer.

Wonderful book for the amateur photographer. This book offers a view into one of the most legendary photographers to grace the world.

JUST PERFECT. INMEJORABLE LA CALIDAD Y PRESENTACIÓN DE LOS ARTICULOS QUE LLEGARON A CASA. GRACAS POR EL SERVICIO Y POR ENTREGAR PRODUCTOS DE CALIDAD.

Nice book if you are into real film photography. A 35mm exceeds all but the best several thousand dollar digitals and medium format and lare format film cameras can't be touched for landscape shots.

The basic premise of photography is clearly illustrated in this book, the first of a series of three. It is also a great intro to using a Field Camera. (Which is why I bought it...)

An old standby. Item as advertised.

Excellent Book ! Bought from Argentina.

great book

Perfect!

Great!

If you take pictures, you need this book. Not replaced by digital issues.

If you like film photography, even if you have been shooting for years, pick up the series you won't be disappointed.

great book

Still definitive.

lot of history refreshing

Great book with many ideas to use, also we like the pictures taken by Mr. Adams. Plus looks nice on coffee table

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband that just got a new Canon Rebel 4i. The book teaches photography tricks for all levels of understanding. My husband has enjoyed experimenting with the new photography techniques he has learned.

Great book for analog shooters.

Good price and good condition.

Ok

good source of info!

My mistake for not doing my homework before purchasing this book. The majority of the book is about camera gear and it reads as a history lesson about the gear available during Ansel Adams' prime. If you're looking for a book that is going to help you improve how you 'see' as a photographer this probably is not what you're looking for. Though, there are a few golden nuggets in this book they are far and few between.

Very precise treatment of the subject, concepts and ideas totally applicable also in the digital era. Recommended without reservations to anyone with a genuine interest in understanding how best to use a camera.

Arrived in pristine condition, as promised.

The book

Its a book I have waited for a long time, been reading it 20 yares ago and has again picked up my analogue camera

He is GREAT as are his photos in helping one use a camera.

I bought all 3 classic Ansel Adams' book and for me this one is the least appeal since its mostly contains camera history. But still a good read

All history of photo-cameras described here. Every amateur photographer should read this book. I'm still reading it. It tells how to use tilts and shifts. Describing photographic mile stones. It's very interesting to read it.

If you are into photography you must have this book by the Master...

100% complete book about the subject. No shortcuts or abreviations. A must have for every serious photographer.

Amazing books, the three of them. Extremely technical and useful. Covers all you need to know about film photography. Was hoping in a harder cover of the book.

Yeah its dated, but if you like Ansel you need it just to get in the mind of the master. It refers to film, but many of the techniques can be used for digital. Great book, used - smelled musty so I knocked off one star.

This Classic Trilogy of the great master Ansel Adams is a must have if you are involved in photography. Exellent !!

this is super for knwing your own camera - how to use it with tricks and tips - Very useable

My son LOVES this book -as well as the other two books in this series. Ansel adams at his teaching best quoth he.

This book was not what I expected. Please be advised that this is a textbook that primarily focuses on such things as tripods, types of cameras, etc. Exposure chapter was useful. Everything else seems a little redundant. I'm assuming this was written for the absolute camera illiterate.

Starts out with the concept of the pinhole camera and can be used as a textbook for photography even today. The basics do not change even in the digital age. Be aware that this book can get pretty technical at times.

Great book!

nice book

like new

My son was delighted with this book. He had recently visited Yosemite with an old school friend. He said the book was AMAZING!

The book itself was a gift and I'm told it's wonderful. Though, I should mention that when it arrived and I removed it from the Amazon box, the back cover's top corner was completely bent about two inches. Luckily, I received it a week before Christmas so I was able to place the corner back into its proper position and weigh it down so it would stay but the crease was still there. The recipient didn't care and it didn't affect the material within the book so ultimately it was fine by me but I do hope Amazon takes a bit more care when packaging more delicate items like paperback books.

If you are just beginning your photography hobby or career. Maybe. But there are better books out there. Any book by Michael Freeman would be an excellent choice (The Photographer's Eye; The Photographer's Mind to name a few). If you're not a beginner, forget this book.

Dated! It was interesting to read, but not what I expected. I'm already trying to resell the book online so I can get another photogrpahy related book.

Not very usefull for the contemporary fotographer. I admit that maybe it was my fault. I should have bought something about his work as a photographer, not as teacher.

I have not read the book yet. I am currently reading book number two which is the negative and is excellent so I'm sure the camera is just as good as the book the negative

This review is only about the quality of the kindle version of the book and not the book itself. It looks as if the pages of the book where just scanned in as opposed to being an actual text document if that makes sense. The text of the scan was all the way to the upper right of the screen with a lot of negative space surrounding the left and bottom parts of the screen. The text is also extremely small with no option to change the font style or size. You can zoom in to the text, but then you have to use your finger to scroll the text downward as you read all while not trying to accidentally turn to the next page. This is because by the time you get the text to a readable size, you cut a portion of it off because it all won't fit on the screen. Also, you have to do the zoom in for each page. What you did for one page will not carry over to the next page. I had to return it but I plan on buying the paperback version. Hope this helps.

Ansel Adams has a dry and terse style, I think I haven't read technical books with so much content per word, very little is wasted. This book is relatively small, but there is so much information that it must be read carefully. Much of the book seems out of date, and it is, but even the things most people are very unlikely to ever use (view camera) have very interesting insights into the optics and different possibilities. I had no idea of what was possible to do with a view camera because of the bellows, adjustments to the lens plane and film plane. An eye opener. In twitter era and TL;DR (too long, didn't read) era, realizing the amount of time it takes preparing a photo is unbelievable (and this is just the first part of the story... there are three). This books shows any person how easy we have it taking photographs. Point and shoot it is, the camera takes care of the rest. Of course that has nothing to do with the quality of the photograph, but the convenience today is astonishing. The whole process appears to be quite simple if you don't go beyond automatic settings. This is the book to read for anyone interested in knowing more about photography, both the principles and practice. I highly recommend it. Now I'll have to get The Negative and The Print.

Please note, my review pertains to the original book, not the revised edition. The rating of this book alone speaks volumes to the mastery with which Adams handles the subject of the camera. I have to admit that this book sat on a shelf at my place for several years before I picked it up and actually read through it. I had no idea Adams was such a technical photographer! He is one of the few who understood both the art and the science, and catered to both in his photography. This book covers absolutely everything, from different types of cameras to how to properly frame a shot. The images he uses to illustrate his thoughts are not his best (well, not his most famous at any rate), so I wouldn't recommend buying this book to just look through the pictures - they are the best however at illuminating the subjects he is addressing. Adams has a steady, very readable way of writing. I never felt as though a subject was not given enough attention, but was glad when he paid specific attention to the most important of concepts. There is no doubt that Adams was a master, hopefully you will read this book and understand the importance that comprehending the technicality of photography plays in making art, not just taking pictures. I'm not saying artistic photography can't be spontaneous and liberal in style, but I think Adams' legacy is a testament in itself of what learning the technicalities can accomplish. If you are ready to stop relying on an LCD for "good" pictures, this is an excellent place to start - it is a fine manual by an even finer photographer. Recommended!

The equipment may have changed, but the techniques have a place in the digital world. Understanding how equipment works is the first thing to learn in anything really. His writing style is a bit harder for me to get through, but it's manageable. And there is a wealth of information that is still relevant to know. I still have film format cameras. Now I just need to dust them off and use them! Each book in the series focuses on a particular section of the field of photography, and these are still important today, most especially technique. It's so easy to not think and point the camera somewhere, hold your breath and press a little button and look to see what the camera got. But it's not so easy to visualize what you want before pressing that button. His book is thorough. There is definitely something you can learn from it. If nothing else after reading this one should pick up and read the manual that came with their camera. Most people do not do this. Might seem basic but the camera is capable of so much, the photographer will spend less time wondering why his/her photographs turned out so wrong if he/she spent time reading the manual. I would recommend this to someone who is interested in more than just pointing and shooting to take a photograph. If you want more in-depth knowledge of photography, start with the masters of old and start with the equipment.

"The camera" is a great Adams' book, a classic that is important both historically, because it defines the zone system as no other work can, and practically, because it gives you the best combination of practice and theory available in print (at least that I have found). For the uninitiated, in the "zone system" you stop thinking about "the" one correct exposure for a photograph (which is usually the correct exposure for a single subject in the photograph) and instead think about the range of exposures needed across a scene with a variety of subjects with different colors, textures, and light characteristics. Long live Ansel Adams! Highly recommended.

Good overview of how a camera and lens systems works. The book discusses all formats of cameras and various lenses and filters in good detail. Very good explainations of exposure depth of field focus and all other general topics are discussed. This is a great reference for anyone who wants to know the workings of a camera. The book also convers what each format of camera can do. It outlines techniques for achieving effects based on focal length, apeture and film speed. There is also a section of filters and what you can do for you. The book has a heavy bias towards black and white but most techniques are transferable to color. There is not alot about exposure control that is in the next book the The Negative. This book will help with camera care maintaince and help you decide what kind of equipmnet you will need as you advance as a photographer. The descriptions are never brand names but types of cameras and lenes. This book is very fundimental and therefore timeless.

I returned the Kindle version. It did not function correctly on my IPad Kindle app.

I thought that this book was very thorough. I learned many useful things, and I also learned many things that don't really apply to me but I found interesting none-the-less. Ansel Adams writes very precisely, and the book is packed with lots of very useful figures/photographs that help in understanding the text that is being read. The book might be a little boring for a casual picture taker. Also, I imagine that the book might be too basic for a professional who has been doing photography for a great number of years. But for a serious photographer getting started, it is an excellent book. And who better to read than the master Ansel Adams.

Ansel Adams is indeed one of the most highly regarded photographers ever, and in this first of three instructional books, he reveals much of the foundational wisdom that he gathered over a lifetime taking pictures. The focus of this book is the camera and deals with all types and formats of film cameras and techniques for using them to take wonderful photos. This book is one of the most common and cherished textbooks used in beginning photography but is indispensable for any interested in better understanding camera arts.

"The Camera" is absolutely a classic of photography books by a true master. It is loaded with helpful information that any photographer from beginner to professional can benefit from. If I could recommend only one book on basic photography, this would be it. You can easily translate Adams' teachings into digital photography or use it to learn the traditional film camera. Read the whole series of Ansel Adams books and you'll see a vast improvement in your skills!

I got into photography about 3 years ago (digital) and read through about 2 dozen glossy "authoritative" books. None of which could explain the basics to relate ISO/fStop/Speed in a way that didn't assume you already knew what they were. Most of the book relates to Large Format which may at first seem a bit off-putting to a novice, but after a few pages you'll see how it doesn't matter whether you're using an 8x10 antique or a digital point and shoot. The way they work is the same. Ansel does an EXCELLENT job explaining the mechanics of light and photography while assuming the reader has some intelligence, makes it very accessible to everyone. Get this book. Recommend it to all your photography friends. Get the next book "The Negative". You won't need to buy any other books. period.

This is an excellent book for any person interested in photography, any level. Here you'll find advice from how to place a tripod to how to get aesthetical results with stereographic pictures of the moon. Merits and demerits and other features of equipment (cameras, lenses, filters, ...) and techniques (focusing, shuttering, panning, ...) are also pointed out. I've just finished reading the whole book, but take for sure I'll read it many times from now as a pretty helpful manual.

This book, the first of a three book series, introduces the reader to the various camera systems and accessories required for successful B&W photography. The book progresses into explanations on aperature and shutter speed selection, lens choices, lighting and image management. No detail is neglected. Best read in conjunction with books two and three.

Recently bought a DSLR, and really needed something to help me improve my knowledge on photography. Since lots of pros online recommend it, I got this book. This book helped me understand the most important fundamentals of the camera. After reading other photography books, I learned a few things like smaller aperture causes a greater depth of field. All I got to do was set the aperture to the largest or smallest possible in my point-and-shoot aperture priority mode. It is because other books never taught me why apertures can affect the depth of field, and the explanations are largely insufficient for the reader to understand how to use the intermediate aperture settings (which ranges will become out of focus, for instance). It is not until this book that I got the "that's why it is like that" enlightenment. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand photography. Some people may find the book too academic, and the pictures here are black and white. But I learned more from this book compared to those that have very nice colorful photos. Some don't even have captions with the aperture, shutter, ISO, etc. used. But even if they do, without adequate explanation on why they chose those particular settings (never mind understanding them), it is really difficult for novices like me to improve our photography skills. This book solves that problem for me.

This is a book well suited for people who are looking to become very serious in the photography field. There's chapters on subjects from visualization to camera adjustments. It discusses the good and the bad that come along with many different types of cameras like small, medium, and large format cameras. It shares advice and techniques on how to create the best images with the camera you are using. The information is very accurate and detailed. Every subject is discussed with great depth. I think that the diagrams and pictures that are provided also aid in a full and complete understanding of the different subjects discussed. Also, the book should probably be read along with the 2 other books that follow it in the series, allowing you to get the complete view into photography. Although I personally have never really been very into photography this book actually inspired me to maybe someday really getting into it.

Great looking book, gift quality, looking forward to getting some use out of it.

Just like his photos, this book is a classic. It explains the fundamentals quite clearly, with intuitive diagram and real pictures. Its coverage on view camera is extremely valuable. Although not many people use view camera these days, that chapter is an eye-openner for appreciating some of the best pictures ever taken by Ansel and other classic photographers. Its coverage on the basic principles are very thourough too. A must read for every serious photographer.

This book covers the basics of camera functioning and photographic principles. No matter how long you have been taking pictures for or how many photography books you have read, I'm positive you will find this book useful and inspiring.

This is the best book i have read. It has given me more information then i could have hoped for. A must read for any film photographer who want to know more about cameras.

Having bought, read, and studied Adam's original series, the revised edition is a dumbed-down version for the modern audience. Though the newer books are good for beginners, they lack depth, detail and insights into serious B/W photography. Okay for the beginner, but find copies of the old editions if you are serious about your photography.

This whole series (The Camera, The Negative, & The Print) are highly recommended for anyone seriously interested in learning more about photography and improving their skills. If you're not interested in that, then the books are probably still worth adding to your collection just to see all of Adams's stunning images.

This is the book to get if you're interested in understanding camera equipment (besides digital). Rangefinders, twin lens, large format, lenses, mechanics, etc., this book covers it. I'm still trying to get through the other two books in this series, "The negative", and "the print". They are far beyond my needs at the moment, but still interesting.

This book provides invaluable insights into the world of photography as seen by Ansel Adams. It has also been updated to address the digital world as well. Definitely a must for beginners and those interested in educating themselves in the area of photography.

I bought this as a gift for someones B-Day. I honeslty have only flipped through some pages but seems like a very detailed book on photography.

Excellent book

The Master giving us his own perspective and insight, in his own words. Get it and enjoy. :)

Adams' collection is a necessity for anyone who loves photography, either amateur or professional. We must understand the process of black and white photography in this intimate sense first and foremost.

Ansel Adams was one of the best photographers, and reading this book has been an honor and has really advanced my knowledge of how to use the camera.

While the writer is no longer with us, the book on cameras is a great find for anyone interested in 35mm photography.

A must have for all those wanting to expand their understanding of cameras in the process of making beautiful fine prints

waist of money... a very old looking and not updated book with b/w bad quality photo examples and charts... better buy Hedgecoe's books...

This is the first book in Ansel Adams photography series. I really cant stress enough the importance of reading all 3 of these books and reading them in their proper order. Ansel talks about a lot of techniques and many of these techniques build upon previous knowledge and previous techniques. If your serious enough about photography to have an interest in these books then you should want to do it right and doing it right is buying all 3 books and reading them in order. I have been seeing a lot of reviews lately for these books that talk about going elsewhere if your a digital photographer and I couldn't disagree more. These books are the best books on the market in regards to teaching you photographic theory and putting that theory into usable form. Do these books focus on film, yes but the skils and theories that these books teach are easily transferred over to digital. IMO the photographers coming up today in the digital will not be nearly as skilled as the photographers who came up using film. I have also come across a lot of reviews that talk about how the final image or print is the only thing that matters. In other words how you get there doesn't matter. I honestly feel sorry for these people. The process for me is 75% of what I love about photography. You take away those processes and photography becomes an empty shell. This is like telling model builders that the final model is all that matters. They will of course disagree as well as building the model is what makes the hobby so rewarding. Not just staring at the finished model. How you get to that final print in photography is just as important if not more important in my book. I am a large format photographer and to me the process of setting up my camera, selecting the right lens, metering for the proper exposure, going under the dark cloth and composing the picture, shooting the film, going back to the darkroom and developing the negatives and finally printing the negatives....this is what I love about photography. Shooting with a digital camera, using photoshop and printing on a digital printer doesn't even begin to compare. Yes you can still make great pictures with digital but the process itself is empty. There is just no comparing the 2 and because of this fact there will always be purists out there who shoot film and who understand the real magic of photography. For those out there that want to take this path, these are the books for you. The bottom line is you will be a completely different photographer after you finish this series. It will take you awhile to finsih them and there are parts that you will re-read multiple times but when you are done, you will be far more skilled than you are now. The first book, The camera obviously starts from the beginning and teaches you the basics of shooting with cameras. I wont even bother going into everything else as these books are so deep that even trying to sum them up in a review is pointless. The titles of the books are self explanatory. The first book deals with the camera, the 2nd book deals with the negative and the 3rd book deals with the print. Its divided up exactly as it should be as these really are the 3 vital components to photography. If you are only interested in digital and all you care about is the final image then these books are not for you. Go buy a digital camera book, a photoshop book and a digital printing book. If however you are interested in photography as a whole and want to learn the skills that will make you a master, regardless of whether you shoot strictly film or digital, then look no further as these are hands down the best books on the market. Go up to anyone who is serious about any particular hobby, regardless of what hobby it is, and ask them if the final product is the most important aspect to the hobby and you will get a resounding NO the vast majority of the time. Its the processes that get you to the final product that make a hobby so rewarding. You take away those processes and it just becomes empty. The processes of film based photography are truly magical and when you make an amazing print from those processes, its far more rewarding than shooting a great digital picture. With the price of film based equipment crashing like the 1940's stock market, now is a perfect time to find out just how rewarding film can be. These books are the perfect place to start.

Prior to purchase, I read several positive reviews about this book and watched a YouTube review. These convinced me to buy the book, and I am very pleased with it. It's a wonderful historic document. Ansel Adams really understood camera technology and design. The book gives very detailed explanations of topics like theory and design of apertures and shutters, lens design, depth of field and perspective. It also contains some of Ansel Adams' black and white pictures, which he used to illustrate points regarding camera operation. The descriptions are very clear, from first principles to complex detail, with very good diagrams. The book is a very good introduction to photography, and a very useful reference document. It is a high quality reprint of the final edition from 1980. Although written several decades ago it covers camera theory and technology that is still fully relevant today. However, as it was written before the advent of digital cameras, the book does not, of course, contain any information on technology specific to digital cameras, such as digital sensors. I have several other books about cameras and photography by other authors, but I learnt a lot from reading Ansel Adams' book. I would recommend it to anybody who wants to understand the fundamental of camera operation.

This was a book I believed that I had bought many years ago, probably not during its first printing although I had read that and the following revised version several times at intervals. It has been reprinted and revised several times since, although not deviating too dramatically from Adams' original text. I had purchased five others of Adams' instructional guides (four of them in the same series as this and the fifth a much modified assemblage and revision of the series with some further additions). This book was originally written around Adams' personal choice of camera which was similar to those used a century previously. His lenses may have been of higher quality as was the film he used, but his camera was little changed. The principles of using such cameras is the basis of every other that followed and, although today's technologies are very different, it would benefit many of today's photographers to return to the basics, at least in print. Adams' camera of choice was the view camera, specifically one using large sheets of cut film that had to be contained within individual film carriers. You may have a double-sided type that would hold two sheets, one per side, which would slightly reduce overall bulk and weight, but it was practically impossible to carry sufficient film holders for a great many shots. Each exposure had to count! Because the cameras were large and heavy, impossible to hand-hold and needed a tripod, transport was often needed just to get the equipment in the vicinity of his subject area. Unless you had some sort of portable darkroom or other local facility that allowed exposed film to be removed and safely stored before processing, and replaced with fresh unexposed sheets, the number of possible exposures for a single session would be very few. Although not directly relevant to today's very different and mostly automated cameras, there is much within its pages that can still be learned. The text may have been slightly updated since first written but has not been dramatically revised. It is nevertheless still of great value. Still considered a masterpiece and a classic, it has a message for today's photographers and I can still therefore recommend its purchase and have now ordered a copy to complete the series in my collection. This is a paperback edition and its pages are physically about one third larger than the older, hardback volumes I have of the series. That need not be an issue as this edition is of a similar scale to many of the photo-oriented photographic titles that exist today. Despite what may appear as its negative attributes, I would still recommend that this book form a part of the collection of any serious photographer, as I would the remainder of the series.

I purchased the trilogy of these books, The Camera, The Negative and The Print as I wished to reintroduce myself to the magic of film based photography. Ansel Adams was a formative photographer, he was also methodical, systematic and philosophical. If you enjoy detailed, clear and concise information combined with art then I think you will enjoy his approach. Yes, these books were written before the mass introduction of digital media, but knowing the roots of any subject is bound to produce insights and connections. Photography is about images, emotions and interpretation. You may consider little value in understanding something of different film types, papers and developers, but digital manipulation seeks to replicate these same effects with filters and settings and understanding the origins of the processes involved may enhance your understanding of where we are now. You never know you may even try using film again, you just need to slow down a bit, but that may not be a bad thing for any us, after all photography is about looking, really looking and seeing things others can't see.

I bought this book as a present for myself (from my wife for Christmas...). It has not disappointed. As well as discussing camera types, shutters, lenses, resolution and sharpness the book has an excellent section on Image Management. So, where does all of this fit and what relevance is it in the Digital Age? For those of us who love photography and are less attracted to the tenchno gadgetry of the 21st century and who concentrate on light, form and composition and not just capture, this book has much to offer. It is certainly one I will be recommending to my students.

This was bought as a present for a son who is a very good photographer and is extremely pleased with the quality,

what I expected

All you need to know about cameras. None of that digital mumbo jumbo either. The real cameras. Together with the other books in the series it covers all the technique you will ever need to take great photographs. Most of what you learn here can be applied to digital photography and image processing. Now go out and shoot! ;)

RECOMMENDED!!!

Excellent

A classic and although pre digital mostly still relevant. One of the best written books on the subject and with the above caveat comprehensive.

Adams is one of the most important photographers to ever write about technique, though he is typically beyond the purely technical. This book is a great example of the artist writing about technique without getting bogged down in technicalities.

A basic book and rather "antique" but interesting reading for those with an interest in monochrome photography. Forms the first part of a five volume series covering the negative, the print, natural and artificial light.

The book arrived in good time and well packed. It was very much appreciated. The Camera completes the set as we have the other two books in the series. Pleased it is still in print as this series is classic. Even experienced amateur photographers can learn from it.

Great images from one of the all time best

Great for the price

good quality

A VERY GOOD BOOK, BY ONE OF THE BEST EVER PHOTOGRAPHERS.

Excellent

The master speaks .

Great as a reference book but not quiet what i wanted.

excellent book

RECOMMENDED!!!

Still relevant today despite the change to digital. Chapters on composition are excellent

Useful

I didn't realise it was so obviously an ex library copy

excellent!!! a must for any darkroom printer

Este libro es básico en una biblioteca de aquellos a quienes les gusta la biblioteca. Es un libro muy citado. Ansel Adams escribió una serie de libros que vale mucho la pena. Este se enfoca en la cámara. Vale la pena si no sabes qué camara comprar además de brindar una introdcción a la fotografía y sus conceptos básicos. La forma de explicar es muy simple. A pesar de estar escrito en una era analógica, tiene vigencia y los conceptos se pueden aplicar al mundo digital. A su vez, permite experimentar con cámaras analógicas -algo que en particular me gusta.

If a person is interested in photography and is also inetersted to know how the optical physics of photography works, this book, written at least 40 years ago by a guru of photography, Ansel Adams, is a must. If there is a enormous difference between "argentique" and digital photography from the point of view of the sensor (film versus CCD), the lens work in the same way since the very beginning of photography. This wonderful book explains how lens work.

Un grande regalo fatto da Ansel Adams a tutti i fotografi, una guida scritta di suo pugno su come riuscire a eseguire gli scatti dalla pre-visualizzazione fino alla stampe. In questo capitolo guida alla tecnica della fotocamera. Badate bene che non è un libro antico che solo i fanatici dell'analogico possono leggere.. chiunque si cimenti nella fotografia dovrebbe leggere libri del genere, dove si è staccati dalla tecnologia degli automatismi e si impara a ragionare col proprio cervello.

It is a good book by the master himself. The concepts are clear and applicable to photography even today as they were in the film days. The matter is however very basic and good for anyone starting in photography. There is very little in this book for anyone who is anywhere beyond a serious hobbyist. Some of his pictures are also printed along with the matter which make the book worth its price. Ansel Adams has also written some notes about each of his pictures printed in this book. The book is printed well.

Gerade sah ich die Rezensionen zu diesem Buch, darunter auch eine sehr negative, in der angemäkelt wurde, das Buch sei nicht mehr aktuell und würde eine vollkommen veraltete Technologie beschreiben. Wie ich in meinem Kommentar zu dieser Rezension bereits bemerkt habe, sehe ich das vollkommen anders. Hier nun also meine Meinung: Die Buchreihe "The Camera", "The Negative" und "The Positive" von Ansel Adams sind wohl die besten Fotografielehrbücher überhaupt für jene, die sich mit den behandelten Techniken und Technologien beschäftigen. Die letzten beiden Bücher, die Namen sagen es bereits, beschäftigen sich mit Negativen und Positiven, also der analogen Technologie. Sie beschreiben exakt, wie man mit Film umzugehen hat, sowohl beim eigentlichen Fotografieren als auch beim Entwickeln und Vergrößern. Dieses Wissen ist für reine Digitalfotografen zugegeben vollkommen unnütz, wer sich aber ein Buch mit dem Namen "Das Negativ" kauft, der weiß das auch oder ist selber schuld! Das Negativ nebenbei ist dennoch sehr wichtig, weil darin eben nicht nur die Entwicklung sondern auch die korrekte Belichtungstechnik beschrieben wird, eine Technik, die bei Digitalkameras keinen Deut anders geht und wer es mal manuell machen will, der muss sich mit dem in "The Negative" beschriebenen Zonen-System intensiv beschäftigen. Das erste Buch der Reihe, "The Camera", um das es hier geht ist ebenfalls alles andere als veraltet. Der Mensch der bei Amazon eine Taschenkamera für 120EUR oder beim Fachhändler um die Ecke eine Spiegelreflexkamera nebst Objektiven für 2500EUR kauft, der kann zwar weitestgehend auf das Buch verzichten, diejenigen aber, die heute noch mit analogen Kameras größerer Dimensionen durch die Gegend ziehen (eine kleine Gruppe, ich weiß), die wird dieses Buch lieben. Es sei hier ganz klar darauf hingewiesen, dass der wohl größte und wichtigste Teil des Buches ausführlich die auf Scheimpflug basierenden Fotografietechniken der Großformat-Fachkameras behandelt. Niemand sollte es sich herausnehmen, das Buch nur deswegen zu verreißen, weil er selbst keine Fachkamera besitzt und nur selten welche zu gesicht bekommt. Profis der Gebäude- und Landschaftsarchitektur setzen diese Geräte - mitunter auch mit Digitalrückteil versehen - bis heute ein und sind auf das Wissen, das in diesem Buch vermittelt wird absolut angewiesen. Also: Casio-Ixus-Taschenkamera- und Canon-Powershot-Bridge-Kamera- und Nikon-DSLR-Fotografen - also zugegeben die Meisten - können hier ohne weiteres vorbeigehen, die wenigen Anderen aber nicht. Ich meine das übrigens wirklich nicht böse oder abwertend, aber die Kameras der ersten Gruppe sind kleine Computer, die den Fotografen die in diesem Buch beschriebenen Techniken entweder abnehmen oder garnicht erst ermöglichen. In dem Fall: Weiterklicken, ansonsten: Kaufen.

Per chi vuole cimentarsi nella produzione analogica della fotografia non può non avere questi libri. Ho acquistato la versione in inglese perchè costa UN TERZO della versione italiana per una legge sbagliatissima sull'editoria che non voglio commentare. Per chi l'inglese lo capisce, può prendere tranquillamente questa trilogia piuttosto che la versione italiana. Da avere nella propria biblioteca

schon das dritte Mal für heute früh, dass ich nicht einfach fünf Sterne vergeben kann, sondern gebeten werde zu Ansel Adams eine Rezension zu schreiben. Das steht mir nicht zu. Der mann ist der Meister der Fotografie und über ihn ist von besseren Rezensenten alles gesagt worden, das man sagen kann und sollte. Lest ihn und lernt oder lasst beides bleiben.

Ogni fotografo che si ritiene tale DOVREBBE aver letto e studiato le lezioni del maestro Adams. NON importa che la fotografia attuale, per la maggioranza dei fotografi, sia soltanto quella digitale. Gli insegnamenti sono sempre e comunque validi. Consigliato! P.S. Questa versione è in lingua originale: INGLESE.

I am very pleased with this book. It is written very nicely, technical terms are explained well which is important to me since I consider myself to be a begginer in photography. I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn and doesn't have patience or time to look at online tutorials or overly technical books. I will definitely get the other two from the series as well.

Libro imprescindible en tu biblioteca fotográfica. Bien editado, papel de calidad, fiel a la versión original. Un básico de la fotografía escrito por uno de los más grandes

Un libro , una Bibbia per un fotografo, da avere assolutamente nella propria libreria. Prezzo molto buono rispetto all'edizione tradotta in italiano

En tant que photographe qui travaille avec de la pellicule, le livre d'Ansel Adams fait office de référence et me permet d'approfondir mes connaissances sur mon médium.

Un gran libro, contado por uno de los maestros de la fotografia. Valoro las opiniones personales de Adams sobre sus experiencias con las cámaras.

Los libros llegaron en perfecto estado! Recomendados para los amantes de la fotografía, libros que sin duda deben formar parte de tu librero y colección

I libri del Maestro sono i pilastri della letteratura tecnica sulla fotografia. Se puo sembrare anacronistico un testo di fotografia edito nel secolo scorso si sappia che contiene concetti fondamentali ancora oggi applicabili al processo creativo. L'edizione in lingua originale assicura di leggere le parole del Maestro senza la variabile della traduzione.

The mainreason for choosing this book from Ansel Adams is the Informations are still conteporary and i use it for the beginners class in photography as a reference.

Must have for photography enthusiasts.

Un clásico que todo fotógrafo debería leer, sea aficionado a la fotografía digital o química. Está bien editado y bien impreso.

Quality is good. MRP is ₹ 1275.

Parfait pour les gens qui veulent découvrir le système de zones d'Adams, belle réédition, un peu chère mais essentielle...

good book

Brilliant

Great !!!!

studie

Extremely satisfied. Great for learning about the type of camera to use for film photography. One of the best!

C'est un peu pauvre de contenu pour un livre qui se targue de nous instruire sur les appareils photos argentiques de moyen et grand format: pas beaucoup d'explications utiles par rapport à d'autres livres de référence sur le sujet !

Classic books even with the digital age the theory still hold true and would give the average person who thinks they know about photography something to chew on.

Perfetto!arrivato subito!

Thank you for the super fast shipping. I recommend these books to everybody interested in Photography. The books are a must have.

LOVE IT!!!
