| description | Ever got your "apertures" and your "aliasing" all mixed up? Ever had a meltdown reading a camera manual? Or Searched that very same manual for simple explanations of technical terms, and been left in the dark? The Photographer's Dictionary sets out to demystify over 350 photographic and image-making terms, using accessible language and illustrated with sample photographs and clear diagrams. Going beyond what a dictionary would provide, i.e. a definition that educates, this book elucidates too. The Photographer's Dictionary delves deeper into the meaning of key concepts by providing historical background, concise examples, and practical applications, in addition to the definition itself. The book is divided into six chapters -Technical Basics, Digital, Film, Equipment, Technique, Creative and Advanced- with ebtries grouped thematically within each chapter, so that connections may be easily made between terms and explanations. This accessible format makes The Photographer's Dictionary an indispensable resource for all imagemakers who are keen to improve their knowledge and skills. |
