Working with film and manual cameras opens up creative scope and makes the craft of photography understandable from scratch. In this 3rd, expanded and completely updated edition of their standard work, Monika Andrae and Chris Marquardt of absolutanalog.de share their knowledge and experience and give you an intensive and creative introduction to the world of analog photography.

They have written this book for all curious people who enjoy rediscovering photography in 35mm, medium or even large format. The authors explain different films and their uses (including instant film), what to consider when buying a used camera, how to develop B&W, color, and slide film at home, how to photograph or scan the negatives, how to print them as photos, and how to present them appropriately. They will also teach you everything you need to know about manual exposure metering, the imaging behavior of film, different developing methods, proper archiving, and playful, creative work with pinhole and toy cameras and expired film.

Whether you want to get rid of digital ballast and concentrate more on photography itself, whether you want to further develop your manual skills or are looking for new impulses for your photographic work - with this book you will get deeply and practically involved in analog photography.
