This book provides the keys to unlocking creativity through the mastery of the 'ingredients' of photography -- namely the chemicals used to develop, fix, stop and tone.
The recipes for almost 150 photographic formulas and their specific uses
In-depth analysis of which formulas work best under what conditions, as well as specialized conditions, such as arctic or tropic work.
Handy, easy-to-access information on safety, suppliers, darkroom planning, and conversion tables.
