Excellent Book on Black and White Photography

[Jerry Cunningham]

I recently bought the book "Way Beyond Monochrome" by Ralph Lambrecht and Chris Woodhouse. This book covers an incredible amount of material and has information for the beginner as well as the more advanced shooters. The authors have done a great job of presenting techinical issues in a clear manner. I have a large collection of book on photography and this book goes to the top of the list.

I'm glad you posted this - I've been considering this one for while, but ye olde budget is small so I've been sticking to books that I've been able to preview first. Thanks for the tip.

Yep, its a top five book and many great photographers recommend it even the ones that have written their own books.

I have the book too and agree. It is a great source of information.

It's my [photographic] bible...

A fantastic resource.

FWIW, the authors (Ralph and Chris) routinely participate in discussions on the pure-silver photographic forum.

I think that they're coming out with a new edition soon.

I think that they're coming out with a new edition soon.

This is unfortunately NOT true; well at least not the 'soon' part. It is true that we are working on Edition2, but it's going to be a few years, before that one will go to print, if ever.

Nevertheless, you might have a few suggestions for improvement, or things you were missing in Edition1. We are happy to include any item of value in Edition2. Send all requests to: info@darkroomagic.com

Oops. Sorry Ralph!

I agree with previous posters: this is very good book.
