Geoff,

The basic Books I've read are probably those you already have "The Negative"
and "The Print", from Weston I don't remember any Book of Theory...

Salud!

Hi folks. I am very interested in learning more from looking at the work of
acknowledged masters in photography. I often use Amazon as a source for more
specialised books. I have some marvellous works authored by Ansel Adams. I
would like to learn more on Edward Weston. Don't laugh, I have no formal
training nor schooling on this. His name came up regarding photographic
styles with a fellow LUG member. I am familiar with the name but not at all
expert on his work, beyond knowing of some wonderful still life images. Can
anyone recommend particular books of his photographs? I am especially
interested in landscape, natural scenery type work and the fine art aspects.

 

Cheers

Geoff
