It has been felt for long that hardly any good and moderately priced book is available that explains in simple language the fundamentals of photography. Readers, who wish to acquaint themselves with elementary knowledge on this most fascinating subject of art as well as science, may find this little book fulfilling the objective to some extent.
Photography, like any other field of science, has been subject to new developments and changes and will continue to witness many more. Just as no book can ever aspire to say, 'This is it', no photograph can be declared the ultimate in photography. Just as no person can become a good writer without knowing the grammar of the English language, a would-be or a qualified photographer has to be aware of the basics before he can qualify to choose his field of specialisation.
About thirty to forty years ago it was a common practice for lovers of photography to have a darkroom at home, where they could develop their films and make prints themselves. This gave the enthusiastic and budding photographers considerable satisfaction of doing their own thing. Then came colour photography and things became more complicated and gradually what began as a hobby, breathed its last to become a professional field.
With the advent of digital photography, we now have the opportunity of developing chemical-free photography. Now, people with the help of various kinds of software can change, print and even e-mail these images. Digital photography has simplified the art and science of photography dramatically, and offers a lot to the photographer at every level. In this book, readers will read about the technicalities of Analogue as well as Digital photography.
It is my hope that this book will be able to meet the needs of both a novice and a would-be photographer, or even an expert photographer who wants to know more than what he already knows.
