Beyond Basic Photography
A Technical Manual
Beyond Basic Photography is an important resource for upper-level students and advanced black-and-white craft courses. It answers the more technical questions of photographers who are already familiar with the basics. This manual presents an advanced level of technical detail to give an informed understanding of the materials and processes of black-and-white photography—providing the student with maximum control over the photographic process from the moment film is exposed to the point when the final print is dry.
Topics include: basic principles of negative making; control of exposure and development; the Zone System and modifying exposure and development; additional exposure considerations such as reciprocity failure and filter factors; photographic chemistry and how each chemical works; mixing your own formulas; storing and handling chemicals safely; archival processing and storage; good fixing and washing technique; film development controls such as grain, contrast, and pulling/pushing film; reversal processing; print development controls such as image tone, contrast, and developer additives and techniques; toning and bleaching prints; lighting issues, including natural light, artificial light and flash; the view camera; and health hazards with photographic chemicals.
