AA: Natural Light Photography

[Tony-S]

Just got a copy of Adams' 1952 edition of Natural Light Photography. It should be a great source of chemistry. One more book to go and I'll have the entire series.

Which one are you missing?

Artificial Light Photography.

Really shouldn't be that difficult to find. For example . . .

For some reason, that one seems to be a bit harder to find. I have mixed editions; if you want to be consistent in the 1952 edition, that makes it harder. The ones that show up on Chris's link above are the 1971 edition for $39.95 and another for which the edition is not specified for $116.66! Give me a break!

I have two copies, one is the 1968 which is in worse shape than the 1956, so I am not eager to give up the 1956. My 1968 edition is complete except for the first volume, of which I have only the 1948. It doesn't bother me a lot that I don't have consistency throughout the set, but then, I haven't compared the content and don't know what might have changed. Perhaps the later ones had help with the writing. AA didn't exactly write for readability. I read the entire set in 1964, and didn't have a lot of trouble getting through it, but I've heard a lot of bitter complaints from others.

AA didn't exactly write for readability.

No, but just like Shakespeare or the King James Version, you bang your head agin' it long enough, it'll rub off onya.
