Creative Elements: Darkroom Techniques for Landscape Photography
This large-format book is loaded with helpful information on all aspects of darkroom work, including film processing, enlarging, toning, and archival treatment. While emphasizing the landscape, photographer Ephraums discusses principles and methods that may be applied to most every kind of black-and-white photography. Twenty sample prints, each illustrating a different method of printing and/or toning, are featured, then explained with substantial notes and technical data. The illustrations are beautifully reproduced, giving would-be darkroom artists a good indication of how ordinary prints may be transformed into images striking in both texture and tone. Sure to be appreciated by amateur and professional photographers alike, Creative Elements is recommended for public and academic libraries, especially those that support photography or graphic arts programs.?Raymond Bial, Parkland Coll.
