Summary: "Ansel Adams (1902-1984) produced some of this century's truly memorable photographic images and helped nurture the art of photography through his creative innovations and peerless technical mastery. The Camera - the first volume in Adams' celebrated series of books on photographic techniques - has taught generations of photographers how to harness the camera's artistic potential. This handbook distills the knowledge gained through a lifetime in photography and remains as vital today as when it was first published. Along with visualization, image management, Adams' famous Zone System and other keys to photographic artistry, The Camera covers 35mm, medium-format, and large format view cameras and offers detailed advice on camera components such as lenses, shutters, and light meters. Beautifully illustrated with photographs by Ansel Adams as well as instructive line drawings, the classic manual belongs on every serious photographer's bookshelf."-- Publisher's description.
