Great， readable and personable overview of film photography。 I’m an absolute beginner so I don’t know how much this would help more experienced photographers。 It gave me lots of ideas for photo sessions though！

I absolutely love this book。 Chris & Monika have written and structured this book exceptionally well。 They have started from the basics， and have taken the reader （me） right through the entire process from exposure to printing。 They start by talking about the salient differences between film and digital， then speak of light and exposure。 The rules they highlight are beneficial， indeed。 The section on the types of film is superb， especially as they give their recommendation on which film is best I absolutely love this book。 Chris & Monika have written and structured this book exceptionally well。 They have started from the basics， and have taken the reader （me） right through the entire process from exposure to printing。 They start by talking about the salient differences between film and digital， then speak of light and exposure。 The rules they highlight are beneficial， indeed。 The section on the types of film is superb， especially as they give their recommendation on which film is best for which application in photography。 I like the section on developing， especially since I intend to start developing my film shortly。 There are lots of useful links included in the book， and this is helpful。 I did explore some of these links。 They are good。 This book of theirs is exceptional。 I recommend this to anyone who would like to explore the world of film photography。 。。。more

Although you can find a lot information on tips for people who are interested in film photography， this book offers a systematic introduction on most aspects of the subject with clear structure and great resources。 However， in my opinion， it is still suggested that people who are completely new to film photography （or even photography in general） to browse the internet for general information first and accumulate questions first and then reading this book won't disappoint you。 I personally find Although you can find a lot information on tips for people who are interested in film photography， this book offers a systematic introduction on most aspects of the subject with clear structure and great resources。 However， in my opinion， it is still suggested that people who are completely new to film photography （or even photography in general） to browse the internet for general information first and accumulate questions first and then reading this book won't disappoint you。 I personally find this book really interesting and I can feel the joy the author enjoys in film photography。 This book helped me form a better structural understanding film photography， saving a lot of time browsing the internet。 。。。more
