Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, film photography has witnessed a significant renaissance—and not just among those who have previously shot with film. Interest in film photography and analog photography has also grown enormously among those who only have experience shooting digitally. In The Film Photography Handbook, 2nd Edition, authors Chris Marquardt and Monika Andrae speak to both types of film photographers as they offer an easy-to-understand, complete resource to shooting film. In this updated and expanded edition, they address today’s working climate, including such topics as the hybrid film/digital workflow, the digitization of negatives, and using smartphones for light metering and to assist in film processing. This book is intended for anyone who is curious about film and analog photography, whether you need a refresher course or are discovering this wonderful format for the first time. You’ll learn how easy it is to shoot and process black-and-white film at home, and that just a little special equipment is needed to get into film photography. You’ll learn all about: • The important differences between film and digital photography • Numerous film cameras, as well as how to buy a second-hand camera • Film formats, from 35 mm to medium format and large format • Exposure settings, tonal values, and tonal representations in different types of film, from color negatives and slides to the enormous spectrum of black-and-white films • Processing film, covering everything you need to know: equipment, chemicals, and workflow • Scanning negatives to bring your analog photography into a digital workflow • Both presenting and archiving your prints and negatives Working in such an “analog” medium requires a unique approach to photography, and it fosters a completely different form of creativity.

The Film Photography Handbook, 2nd Edition covers it all—from the technical to the creative—and will have you shooting film in no time, whether it’s with an old rangefinder, an inexpensive Holga, or a medium-format Rolleiflex or Hasselblad.

Download or read book The Evolution and Demise of the Larger Format Press Camera written by Reg Holloway and published by Essence Publishing (Canada). This book was released on 2008 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first photographers sent on assignment covered the Crimean War in 1855 and the American Civil War from 1861. They did so with simple but large wooden 8x10 inch field cameras on tripods and with wet plates that had to be coated before each exposure. Dry plates became available from the 1870s and at about the same time, the half-tone printing process was perfected in Canada and exported to the United States and Europe, driving up the demand for pictures for publication. The new specialist in photography-the press photographer-required a new type of camera. One that was hand held, robust, big enough to provide a good-sized glass negative for contact printing, with a lens that could be precisely focused, a shutter that would freeze action and an accurate viewfinder. At that stage, nobody had yet thought of such refinements as a rangefinder or exposure meter or an independent source of illumination. In this book Reg Holloway, who was an apprentice reporter/photographer from 1947, describes the types of cameras that were developed to meet the special needs of press photographers. He explains the laborious procedures involved in using the early cameras and along the way he touches on some of the risks that early press photographers took in their attempts to document the world. Including: - The American photographer who had himself suspended from a bunch of weather balloons to gain elevation and who had to be brought back to earth by the bursting of balloons with careful rifle fire. - The Canadian photographer who persuaded his colleagues covering the opening of a railway station to pool their flash powder and caused a frightening explosion. - The pack of photographers in London in 1924 whobroke through a police line to photograph the arrival of six US aviators on the first round-the-world flight. As the author remarks, a scrum in which everybody was wielding a large and heavy wooden camera could be a dangerous situation. The cameras illustrated are in the author's collection, assembled from around the world during 30 years he spent in the British foreign service following his career as a reporter.
