Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Photography IT is not long since it was common to hear people say of Photography, 0 there is nothing in it! It has gone as far as it can go. This was of course the popular verdict; but there were practical men too who were of opinion that little more was to be expected from it. It 'would be hard to find the man who would say as much to-day. So many advances has Photo graphy made of late - so important has it become as an aid to general science - that it is not easy to over-estimate its claims on the attention of investigators, or to say in what direction its next conquests may not be achieved.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Photography: Practical, Theoretic, and Applied The book OF photography has been prepared at the request of many readers of my smaller books on the subject who have expressed a wish for a comprehensive treatise, My own practice in Photography dates back to the time when the operator prepared each plate for his own use; first by a tedious process of cleaning the glass, next by dexterously flooding it with collodion, and finally by sensitising it in a bath of silver nitrate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Photographer Obody who has once come under the spell Of the camera, and has so far penetrated into the mysteries of photography as to be able to expose with a reasonably quiet mind as to the ultimate nature of his negatives, can ever there after free himself completely from its fascination. I have been under the spell for nearly thirty years, but my camera is as good a companion as ever, and photography is as entertaining in 1914 as in 1885. And incalculably easier also. The great reduction in its difficulties and complications has made the camera vastly more popular; but at the same time it has had the curious and unforeseen result that, comparatively speaking, there are fewer amateurs to whom its use is their chief hobby. Formerly success was only to be attained by concentrating one's hole attention on the processes employed, and photography was the pursuit of a few enthusiasts. Today, while almost every one photographs, there has not been SO vast an increase in the number of enthusiasts, although the increase has been a large one. Many have been led by its facility to take it up casually, and have found that even in that way it will furnish a great deal Of pleasure and Of attractive and useful occupation. Some Of these are led further and further in its pursuit. They find that in spite of hand-cameras, mechanical development, and gaslight papers, there is still plenty of scope for the exercise Of personal Skill there are plenty Of difficulties to confront and triumphs to achieve, and that as a pastime an inexhaustible field opens out before them as they proceed. To such a field the later chapters of this book may serve as an introduction. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Advance of Photography written by A. E. Garrett and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Advance of Photography: Its History and Modern Applications Nearly forty years have now elapsed since the first edition of Vogel's "Chemistry of Light and Photograph" was issued, and no revision has been made of that work since 1883. During the last thirty years the science of photography has developed with very rapid strides. The perfection of the dry plate, the introduction of orthochromatic photography, and the scientific investigation of the many problems confronting the practical photographer have been landmarks in that progress. Then, again, much interest has centred round the application of photography for recording results obtained in various branches of scientific research; while the advent of Rontgen-ray photography, the transmission of photographs from place to place by electrical means (photo-telegraphy), and the improvements made in the photography and projection of photographs of moving objects, have opened up new fields of interest for workers in this science. On the other hand, Vogel's "Chemistry of Light and Photography" is still considered a classic with respect to those branches of the subject with which it deals. Thus, although the present book is of necessity practically a new work, it is based upon the lines laid down in the original publication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Photography and Its Applications The object'of the author in writing the present book has been not to provide a guide or text book for those desiring to practise the art of photography, but rather to givein a popular manner an outline of its operations for the reader who seeks to know something about photography, without necessarily wanting to practise it. We believe there are many people who like to acquire knowledge of a subject simply for the sake of knowing in a general way How it's done. It is for such people we have written this book, and we have endeavoured to divest it of detailed technicalities. The task has not been an easy one, and it would have been much less troublesome for the author to proceed on the usual lines of describing the processes with the completeness necessary to lenable them to be worked from the instructions given. That would have meant a much larger book, for which probably there is no real need, as there are so many excellent treatises on the subject already published. The author has endeavoured to carry out the aim of the publishers of this series, and it the book should fall into the hands of some who are already well up in the subject, and who may consider there is little that is new in it, let them remember that there are many people who, not having had their advan tage, may find such a book as this interesting and possibly useful.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fundamentals of Photography While a knowledge of the theory of photography is by no means essential for success in the making of pictures, most photographers must have felt a curiosity as to the scientific foundations of the art and have wished to know more of the materials which they use, and of the reactions which those materials undergo when exposed to light and when treated with the chemical baths by which the finished result is obtained. This book has been written with the object of providing an elementary account of the theoretical foundations of photography, in language which can be followed by readers without any specialized scientific training. It is hope that it will interest photographers in the scientific side of their work and aid them in getting, through attention to the technical manipulation of their materials, the best results which can be obtained.

Read; make notes; carry them; and consult them frequently at the appropriate time - these are excellent rules to follow. How To Study This Book The method used in studying any book is very important, and especially is this true in Photography. If you attempt to digest too much of the material herein, at a few readings, you will soon relegate the book to the attic in despair, therefore, go about it correctly. It is well to read through the whole book at the start, if you get well interested, but no notes whatsoever should be made at this reading. Your second, third, fourth, and further readings are the readings on which to make your notes. For the beginner, all he will need for a while is written in the first eleven chapters.
