Beyond Basic Photography: A Technical Manual

This book was my go to book back in the early eighties when I was a young budding photographer. I purchased this book completely out of nostalgia. If you are buying this book to further your technique in digital photography, or in lightroom, forget it!. If you want to set up a darkroom, shoot film, and print your own silver prints, than this is a very good book for that purpose. I am now all digital but when I browse this book, I think back to my many darkrooms and smile.

I bought the book for my photograpy class.

this really is a beginners book. i got it for class when i first started photography and it was a great tool to learn from in getting the basics. now that i'm well seasoned in the art of photography, i don't see myself using this book anymore, but it was a great tool to learn from!

I really like Henry Hoernstein's book, Beyond Basic Photography: A Technical Manual. I use it as a text book for my Photo II class. It brings 2nd semester students to the next level, "Old School" style. Easy to read and to the point.

As an advanced armature photographer it is part of my library. I am able to refer to this as needed...

I have just developed my first role of black and white film at home. It was wonderful to find this book.

good book.

Very useful book for my photography collection, lab and darkroom -- technical information that will be around for years to come.

I bought a “new” book for 40$ and look!!! IT WAS USEDHowever, the description indicates “brand new”are you blind?

Loved it! Highly recommend this book for anyone interested in film photography.
