Photographic Science by Mitchell Light Lenses Optics HB

PHOTOGRAPHIC SCIENCE, by Earl N. Mitchell, published by John Wiley & Sons, New York, 1984.  Hardback book with dust-jacket, very good condition, illustrations, 404 pages.

The comprehensive guide for beginning students of photography provides a detailed introduction to the science of this art.  It is the only contemporary introductory photographic text to explore fully "why" photographic instrumentation and procedures work the way they do, as well as "how" to put photographic methodology into practice.

From a concise picture of the history and development of photography to a complex consideration of the field of sensitometry, Photographic Science offers all of the fundamentals required for informed mastery of photographic technique.

A core explanation of how the photographic process works is followed by in depth discussions of the elements of exposure determination, light sources, and filters.  Two chapters deal with the special problems of color and color photography.

Several hundred important technical terms are highlighted where they first appear in the text, and each is fully explained upon its introduction.  A convenient glossary of these terms is included at the close of the text and makes it a valuable reference that students of photography can use again and again in all of their photographic efforts.
