Description
The Film Developing Cookbook is an up-to-date manual for modern film development techniques. While the original Darkroom Cookbook focused
entirely on photographic chemicals and formulae, this book concentrates on films, their characteristics, and the developers each requires
for maximum control of the resulting image.
The Film Developing Cookbook specifically addresses the difficult subject of T-grain film
development. It includes rarely found information on film development and the nature of film developers. The authors take bold and controversial
stances on many widely accepted film developing dogmas. They tackle many of the widely accepted "myths" of film development. They reject
the trend toward `scientific evaluation' of films and developers in favor of the photographer developing a personal aesthetic without
relying exclusively on densitometry or H&D curves.
Steve Anchell is a contributing editor to Outdoor Photographer and PhotoWork magazines.
He has written columns, feature articles, and interviews for Camera & Darkroom, View Camera, PIC, Shutterbug, Photo Shopper, and PhotoPro
magazines. His previous two books with Focal Press, The Darkroom Cookbook and The Variable Contrast Printing Manual are photography
best-sellers.
Steve's photographs have been exhibited in galleries and are shown in private collections. He photographs and prints
both color and black-and-white with 35mm, 2? and large-format ccameras. He has conducted over 80 photographic and darkroom workshops
since 1979. Steve is currently the program director for the Photographer's Formulary Workshops in Condon, Montana. In early 1998, the
first collection of his personal work, entitled The Nude at Big Sur, will be published by Whitefish Editions.
Bill Troop is a highly
respected independent photochemist.
