Re: OT - How to view photographs
Cotty, it's well worth acquiring On Looking At Photographs by David Hurn and Bill Jay from LensWork. It's available on DVD and is without a doubt my favorite book on the subject.

RE: OT - How to view photographs
Hi folks, Anyone have any recommended links to online articles about how to view photographs? My son has started his photography course (A level in UK) and his first essay is about Norman Parkinson's work. I thought it would be good if he read some critiques of [anyone's] work first to get an idea of what to look for. Anything considered, thanks. I don't know about anything online, but if I were to try and give someone a crash course in such things I would recommend the following books: How To Read A Photograph, Ian Jeffrey. This is an analysis of quite large number of well-known classics as well as some lesser-known photographs. Photo Design, Harald Mante. The very best introduction to composition, therefore good for analysing as well as taking pictures. Out of print, but have a look on Amazon, he has reworked it all in some very recent books. On Being A Photographer, David Hurn. Of course.

The post-modernist viewers also multiply by max ISO. Bloodbath over whether or not to include extended range. --Original Message-- From: Mark Roberts Sender: pdml-boun...@pdml.net To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List ReplyTo: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: OT - How to view photographs Sent: Sep 20, 2010 9:45 PM Cotty wrote: Hi folks, Anyone have any recommended links to online articles about how to view photographs?
