Amazon.com Review
A picture tells a thousand stories, but the one it doesn't tell is how the shot was made. Barbara London and John Upton's IPhotography/I is an all-inclusive look at the craft of photography. This book will help any amateur move up a few notches, and it serves as a refresher course for professionals as well. The sixth edition of this classic work (the first was published in 1976) includes a companion Web site with interactive activities, Web resources, and a learning archive. Amply illustrated with at least one photograph or diagram on almost every page, IPhotography/I is the one reference work every student of photography must have--even those who will never set foot in a classroom. I--Brenda Pittsley/I

 Perfect for all photographers November 19, 2008
"Photography (9th Edition)" is perfect for any kind of photographer, whether it's someone who is picking up a camera for the first time or someone who is much more experienced. From the seemingly endless supply of information to the immense number of beautiful photographs, there is nothing this book doesn't cover. br /br /It is thorough and very detailed. The book provides images and explanations of film processing, charts of indicated exposures in particular lighting situations, and also illustrates composition and framing. It even has a chapter devoted to the history of the photography. A very important aspect to know, however, is "Photography" leans toward black and white 35 mm film photography. Knowing how to use a camera manually is an important technical and creative aspect of photography, so this book emphasizes that. br /br /"Photography" is just as inspirational as it is informative. Besides the technical data, there are famous photographs like Bresson's "Place de l'Europe, Paris" and Man Ray's "Solarization." There are also short biographies of well-known artists, such as Clint Clemens, Annie Leibovitz, and John Sexton, incorporating their work. The information in the biographies applies to particular techniques within different chapters. I find these pictures motivating and inspirational because of the variety of approaches, styles, and successful techniques covered. This wonderful visual aspect of the book instructs the reader through other artists' work and also encourages them to grab a camera and start shooting.br /br /When I think of the money, supplies, time and frustration saved because of the knowledge gained from this book, I can't find a single reason why anyone who's truly passionate about photography wouldn't need to buy it. The combination of technical information and visual examples "Photography" provides is an important way to improve any person's photographic abilities.br /br /br /br /

 Worth over $100? August 14, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
I've received and read the book, and enjoy the content. However, compared to many other books in the marketplace, I'm having a hard time comprehending where there is over $100 worth of value. It seems that everytime something is written by an academic and presented as a textbook, regardless of the content or quality, that the price is jacked up by 3 to 4 times what it is really worth. I'd suggest looking for a used version of this book unless you really want a pristine copy to show off to others.
 Very Comprehensive February 23, 2008

This book is pretty comprehensive. I am using it for a basic photography class. It covers a lot of subjects, but none in great detail. The newer versions actually covers a bit of digital photography as well.
