  This volume has been written to encourage absolute beginners to use equipment and processing facilities which are available to the typical amateur photographer. The text teaches and informs largely through photographic illustrations. Starting Photography aims to help beginners to get more out of using a camera. It encourages the reader to observe the visual features of the surroundings and use them in their photographs. It gives readers advice on how to buy camera equipment and give them an insight into what is involved in processing and printing their own black and white films. In this completely reformated and updated edition, the text now covers colour photography and many colour photographs are included. The expanded text also covers use of modern semi-automatic cameras and extra information is included on the use of flash. The book shows how to identify mistakes and how to avoid them in future; it contains ideas for projects and for unusual pictures. In all, the ideal text for novice photographers.
