Seems like the local public library has put some good photography books on the shelves this week, so I thought I'd share.
Looking at Ansel Adams: The Photographs and the Man -- '...he saw Ansel taking a photograph of Precipice Lake on the Sierra Club High Trip in 1932 and rushed to set up his own camera next to Ansel's, sure that there must be something worth recording. It was not until several years later that he saw
Frozen Lake and Cliffs. He lamented, "Jeez! Why didn't I see that!" '
Michael Freeman's Digital Photography Handbook -- I was surprised how well this book managed to be comprehensive, the best description I can come up with is a contradiction in terms -
a detailed overview.
The Crafter's Guide to Taking Great Photos: The Best Techniques for Showcasing Your Handmade Creations -- Of course, crafty people use aluminium foil for reflectors, reversed gift wrap for seamless backgrounds, and parchment paper for diffusers.
Puppyhood: Life-size Portraits of Puppies at 6 Weeks Old -- If you like hearing "Aw! That's so cute!"
