 Perfect for those stepping into the world of B&W film and darkroom August 5, 2010
Bulent Celasun
I have another book on the same subject. It covers more and it offers more detail in almost every subject it handles.
And, it made me feel helpless when I tried to read it. I said, "no, I cannot do this whole processing, printing and whatever thing"!
Now, after reading Horenstein's book, I think I CAN do it! I must do it! That, I call a big difference.
In short: This is a beautifully prepared, detailed guideline for entering into the conventional B&W photography world.
It has almost nothing that could be useful for digital photography.
I say "almost" because there are many beautiful photographs by some leading photographers within (all related to the subject matter, by the way).
Watching those can be inspiring even for those shooting digital only :)
In fact, its title says it all (this has become a rather unusual event, lately): "A Basic Manual".
It handles every imaginable subject with, authority and care; from film ISO to mounting prints.
Suitable even for those who have started photography just recently.
I recommend this book without any reservation to the small, specific subset of B&W film photographers who intend to print their own images in a darkroom.
good read if you need the basics February 28, 2010

A well done book about Black and White photography. It was purchased for a class I'm taking. It essentially goes over all of the basics.

The book was in very good shape. However, I did order standard shipping and it took over two weeks for the book to arrive from the day it was shipped, so I wasn't pleased with the service.

Putting technical aspects together September 23, 2008

This books is a detailed guide to understand how your camera functions and how different aspects work together to produce an image. Horenstein does a good job of introducing technical concepts in simplistic terms. Not only so, each chapter is short and to the point.
