A great read for all serious photographers

I think this is almost a must read for any serious photographer just starting out, or even that has been doing it for awhile. Obviously technology has advanced since the times that Ansel was active, but the ideas that he reviews, that lead to his formulation of great photographs all translate over easily to newer cameras and equipment.Read full review...

Good

First in a series of 5 books. It’s kind of old in view of the new photography technologies but the basics don’t change. Worth getting all five books.
