Description

Photography for the Joy of It provides clear instruction for beginning colour or black-and-white photographers on choosing equipment, selecting the correct exposure, understanding the depth of field and much more. Once the basics are in hand, photographers learn how to make pictures with selective focus, showing motion, using flash, double or long lens exposures, and at night. (1986)
