Freebie Chapters on Optics
I have been looking for a book that gives a basic background of
photography as a science and not as an art, and found one of the best books was published in 1868 by Mathew Carey Lea, called "a Manual of Photography". It is still available as a hardcover for a fair piece of change. What I have done is re-publish the book, re-edit and completely re-Typeset the book for readability, and re-draw the engravings in the book for legibility. Not only as a book describing collodion and both wet and dry plate photography, this is a very good book to explore the use of a large format camera and photography as a science, and should not be thought of as a "dated" book at all. I am offering the chapters 5-10 on optics as a free download, as I have found them to be eminently worthwhile. http://www.lulu.com/content/185717 |
