A good introduction to the craft of converting digital files to monochrome prints. As with other books by the same author, there are lots of short lessons, and it covers the subject well, but not in too much detail in any particular area.

Lee Miller was one of the foremost photojournalists of the Second World War. Originally a Vogue model, she trained as a photographer with Man Ray. She entered Europe with the American forces after D-Day and documented the first use of napalm at St Malo and the liberation of the death camps. Some very moving photography backed up by her diaries.

This book sits on my bookshelf and is rarely consulted. However when it is needed it provides some valuable and informative instruction.

At the moment this book is never far from me, as I read and re-read it. It covers planning and publishing photographs in print and on the internet, and also covers the planning and marketing of an exhibition.

An American book aimed at the difficult area of digital night photography. This book is good in parts, as it includes many techniques that are not unique to low-light photography. I found it slightly disappointing, but still like to dip into it from time-to-time.

(Not to be confused with the UK Outdoor Photography Magazine)

 

This is an American magazine, and I have subscribed to it for about 8 years. The articles are longer and make "meatier" reading than many similar UK magazines. Whllst the landscapes illustrated are from the USA and not Britain, the "how to photograph" articles are consistently aimed at the experienced photographer. British magazines have a smaller customer base and have to cater for beginners as well as the experienced.

 

A year's on-line subscription of 11 issues costs $29.97 (about £15) , and two years subscription costs $55.97 (about £27). This includes international postage. Try buying a British magazine that cheaply!
