5.0 out of 5 stars Manual of Photography
Reviewed in Australia on 3 September 2018

An excellent book for the serious reader on the principles of photography. It covers topics such as light theory, the human eye, optics, sensors, lenses, camera systems, exposure and much more. It is a book for those who are interested in a more scientific and mathematical explanation of cameras rather than on how to take photos.

2.0 out of 5 stars Lettura Impegnativa
Reviewed in Italy on 19 April 2018

Libro con un approccio Accademico, ci vorrebbero anni di studio per capire gli argomenti trattati. Caratteri troppo piccoli. Arricchisce comunque di contenuti al limite dell'impenetrabile la libreria sulla quale viene riposto.

5.0 out of 5 stars Très complet
Reviewed in France on 2 January 2017

Ce livre n'est pas un livre que l'on lit d'un trait comme certains livres photos classiques (ou roman). Il est divisé en chapitres dédiés à un sujet:
Cela va de la composition de la lumière, au fonctionnement d'un objectif, d'un viseur, d'un autofocus ou encore à la façon dont fonctionne un système de mesure d'exposition.
La photographie argentique n'est pas oubliée non plus: comment est fabriqué une pellicule photographique (du point de vue chimie), quels composés dans la chimie du développement photo ?
Un livre extrêmement complet à consulter au besoin.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference, Kindle version on my MacBookPro is fine
Reviewed in the United States on 12 September 2013

Based upon reading of this book (prior version) while reading Thom Hogan's Guide for the D800 I decided to order the book from Amazon. It will arrive tomorrow. I read a reviewer state that the Kindle version was inferior. When you view the Kindle version on the Amazon website it is not a good representation of what you will actually receive. If instead you try a sample of The Manual of Photography you will see that the quality is excellent and very readable, with tables, diagrams and color intact. If the sample looks good on your device then you can buy the whole version. I read my Kindle version books on my iPhone, iPad, iMac and MacBook Pro. So I can recommend the Kindle version. When I receive the hardcopy book I can compare the Kindle version to the hardcopy.

The Manual of Photography is an excellent reference for someone to use as their interest in the details of photography develops. (no pun intended)

At some point, whether you are still developing film, are completely in the digital photo realm or use a hybrid of the techniques, you will want to consult this reference to better understand the physics, math, chemistry, electronic, human color vision components, and the esthetic aspects of photography.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Manual of Photography and Digital Imaging
Reviewed in Germany on 2 September 2012

Das Buch behandelt sehr viele technische Aspekte der Fotographie, auch die
physikalischen und sinnes-physiologischen Grundlagen. Zum Zeitpunkt, da mich Amazon
aufgefordert hat, eine Rezension zu schreiben, habe ich nur einen kleinen Teil des Buches gelesen,
aber schon so viele Fehler entdeckt, dass ich einen Kommentar für angebracht halte.
Viele physikaische Formeln werden aufgelistet, jedoch ohne ihre Bedeutung zu diskutieren, geschweige
denn sie herzuleiten. Zugegeben, das Buch ist schon dick genug, dennoch, weniger Kapitel, dafür aber sorgfältiger und
mit mehr Erklärungen wäre besser gewesen.
