Medium Format Film Photography

Newly revised and expanded edition, also available in paperback.
Film is dead, right? Not by a long shot. Images made from film are visually rich and continuous, and the good news is that film photography is experiencing a resurgence. This book takes one step beyond 35mm film into the world of medium format film photography. In Medium Format Photography you will:

- Learn about different medium format cameras to find one that suits you.
- Learn the essentials of film photography.
- Learn how to set exposure on your camera using a light meter.
- Learn how to compose shots for square and rectangular formats.
- Learn how to develop black and white negatives and understand what supplies to acquire.
- Learn how to take corrective action if your negatives do not turn out correctly (it’s always
your fault!).
- Learn how to photograph negatives digitally in preparation for computer processing.
- Learn how to convert your negatives to positives in Lightroom and process your images.

Every time you expose an image with your film camera, you’re an active part of a historic and graceful lineage. You’re a practitioner and student of the skill and craftsmanship required in every step of the film process. You are linked with what other photographers have practiced for over a span of two hundred years.
