Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: This book is not what I had expected at all. Producing fine black and white images in digital form is not easy and I was expecting all sorts of information on doing B&W conversions from colour files, but there's very little of that. It has very little good information on producing a professional standard digital black and white at all. The author talks a lot about very basic digital stuff such as selecting a camera, basic lighting for digital, exposure for digital and composition, everything you see here can be found in dozens of other books. The REAL info on fine quality professional B&W is either missing or just barely touched on. He does have quite a bit of info on Infrared but he has authored a different book on that subject so why the extended coverage in this book? There is info on special effects such as handcolouring that is interesting but the info on producing fine B&W that I was hoping for is missing. A disappointment.
Is the review positive or negative?
