Personal Review: The Ansel Adams Guide : Basic Techniques
of Photography - Book 2 by John P. Schaefer
I like this book very much because it explains different concepts and
terminology in simple terms -- good for people who are trying to learn
photography but not knowing much yet (like me). There are a lot of
pictures in the book, so it isn't boring at all.
It also explains traditional photography very well, including cameras,
darkroom etc. However, don't expect much from the technology section of
the book since it is quite outdated, however it does give you a brief
background with the technology though. (It's only a minor problem...
anyway)
Recommended to those who are interested in photography.... also get
Book 1 as well.
