The Manual of Photography has aided thousands of photographers in their careers. It provides accessible and authoritative information on virtually every technical aspect of photography for the professional photographer, lab technician or manager and for students or serious amateurs wishing to become more technically competent. The Manual of Photography was first published almost one hundred years ago. The Eighth Edition continues that tradition as a technical reference source Dealing with the fundamental principles as well as the practice of photography, the Manual explains optics, chemistry and the evaluation of image quality, their applications in lens and camera design and function, exposure metering systems, photographic materials and processes, archival aspects of images, tone and colour reproduction and measures of photographic image quality. First published almost one hundred years ago, the Eighth Edition continues a long established tradition of being the first point of reference on every technical aspect of photography. a classic text first published over a hundred years ago authoritative information on virtually every aspect of photography

WINNER OF THE 2001 KRASZNA-KRAUSZ PHOTOGRAPHY BOOK AWARD (Technical Photography category) The only definitive book to fully encompass the use of photography and imaging as tools in science, technology and medicine. It describes in one single volume the basic theory, techniques, materials, special equipment and applications for a wide variety of uses of photography, including: close up photography and photomacrography to spectral recording, surveillance systems, radiography and micro-imaging. This extensively illustrated photography 'bible' contains all the information you need, whether you are a scientist wishing to use photography for a specialist application, a professional needing to extend technical expertise, or a student wanting to broaden your knowledge of the applications of photography. The contents are arranged in three sections: · General Section, detailing the elements of the image capture process · Major Applications, describing the major applications of imaging · Specialist Applications, presenting an eclectic selection of more specialised but increasingly important applications Each subject is introduced with an outline of its development and contemporary importance, followed by explanations of essential theory and an overview of techniques and equipment. Mathematics is only used where necessary. Numerous applications and case studies are described. Comprehensive bibliographies and references are provided for further study. Ensure you are aware of all the very latest scientific applications Comprehensive wealth of scientific information in one single volume so it is all to hand when needed Learn from Sidney Ray's complete coverage and interpretation of scientific and applied photography

Scientific Photography and Applied Imaging

Routledge

The purpose of this book is to explain the basic principles of optics and image fomation particular to such lenses and optical systems. Much importance is placed on clear and detailed diagrams of contemporary equipment, and graphs of performance characteristics. The book begins with an explanation of visual perception, followed by sections on basic optics and image formation by representative systems; the design, the manufacture and testing of lenses andd optical systems; optical attachments, including filters and converters; the optics of a numbr of different types of camera; the projection of images; the anicllary and auxillary systems associated with image capture; and related optical and optp-electronic systems including fibre optics, LEDs and LCDs. The book is intended as a compact source of useful data, for anyone concerned with th visual communications industry, from secondary school pupils to professional camera users and euipment specialists. Sindey F Ray is Priniciple Lecturer in Photographic Sciences and Electronic Imaging at the University of Westminster. His other book for Focal Press, Applied photographic Optics has been acclaimed as the definitive work on the subject. he is also the co-author of The Manual of Photography. compact source of information fully illustrated simple clear explanations

The Photographic Lens (Media Manuals)

Physics

The use of any visual media: photography, digital imaging, film or video is enhanced by a working knowledge of the optical principles involved in visual perception, image formation and recording techniques. Applied Photographic Optics has established itself as the standard reference work on all aspects of lens based media, giving a selective overview of optical theory and technology, explanations of the capabilities and limitations of lenses and how the technology is applied to a range of applications. Selected by The American Library Association's 'Choice' magazine as best technical book, this biblical work will appeal to students, practitioners and specialists working with optical media. It remains a comprehensive treatment of the subject, containing a wealth of facts and data in one handy source. Case histories and examples are given to support examples, as well as extensive notes on usage. the standard reference work on the subject covers all aspects of lenses including theory, practice and application includes digital imaging techniques

Applied Photographic Optics: Lenses and Optical Systems for Photography, Film, Video and Electronic Imaging

Selected by the American Library Association's 'Choice' magazine as "best technical book", the first edition of this book soon established itself as the standard reference work on all aspects of photographic lenses and associated optical systems. This is unsurprising, as Sidney Ray provides a complete, comprehensive reference source for anyone wanting information on photographic lenses, from the student to the practitioner or specialist working with visual and digital media worldwide. This third edition has been fully revised and expanded to include the rapid progress in the last decade in optical technology and advances in relevant electronic and digital forms of imaging. Every chapter has been revised and expanded using new figures and photographs as appropriate, as well as extended bibliographies. New chapters include details of filters, measurements from images and the optical systems of digital cameras. Details of electronic and digital imaging have been integrated throughout. More information is given on topics such as aspherics, diffractive optics, ED glasses, image stabilization, optical technology, video projection and new types of lenses. A selection of the contents includes chapters on: optical theory, aberrations, auto focus, lens testing, depth of field, development of photographic lenses, general properties of lenses, wide-angle lenses, telephoto lenses, video lenses, viewfinder systems, camera movements, projection systems and 3-D systems. Everything you need to know about still and moving image lenses in one handy volume Be completely up-to-date with vital new information on optics for digital imagingBenefit from the expertise of this award-winning technical author

Applied Photographic Optics: Lenses and optical systems for photography, film, video, electronic and digital imaging

The Manual of Photography is the standard work for anyone who is serious about photography - professional photographers and lab technicians or managers, as well as students and enthusiastic amateurs who want to become more technically competent. The authors provide comprehensive and accessible coverage of the techniques and technologies of photography. The Manual has aided many thousands of photographers in their careers. The ninth edition now brings this text into a third century, as the first edition dates from 1890. Major new updates for the ninth edition include: Coverage of digital techniques - more emphasis on electronic and hybrid media Greater coverage of colour measurement, specification and reproduction - illustrated with a new colour plate section Dealing with the fundamental principles as well as the practices of photography and imaging, the Manual topics ranging from optics to camera types and features, to colour photography and digital image processing and manipulation. The authors write in a reader-friendly style, using many explanatory illustrations and dividing topics into clear sections. The authoritative text on virtually every technical aspect of photography and digital imaging If you are serious about photography you can't afford to be without this book New colour plate section illustrates the chapters on colour techniques
