This book is about how to see good photographs, written by a leading author on practical photography.

The Image (Collins Photography Workshop)

Light is crucial to all photographs; after all, photography is literally the capturing of a light image on film. It is essential to have a clear understanding of light in all its various forms and to be able to anticipate how differnt types of light will affect a photograph. Michael Freeman looks at light in detail, beginnning with colour and colour temperature and how to measure it. Of the main sources of light, natural light is examined first, including direct sun and its angle to the camera and coping with difficult weather conditions. Available light - from such sources as tungsten, florescent and vapour discharge lamps - frequently poses more problems for photographers, but it too has its advantages and useful characteristics. Practical instruction is given in this, and in all other types of photographic lighting, whether in the studio or on location. Finally, the author looks at ways of using and controlling light to the best effect to bring out the innate qualities of different objects.

"Cameras and Lenses" provides a full appraisal of available equipment; it discusses what each item does best, and how to select cameras and lenses to suit a specific task. The whole range of photographic equipment is covered, from cameras (35mm, automatic, viewfinder, rollfilm, instant, view panoramic, underwater) and lenses (standard, wide-angle, fish-eye, telephoto, macro, mirror), to tripods, filters and other accessories. A carefully worked-out series of practical exercises is presented throughout. The last part of the book looks at camera handling, focus, shutter speed and aperture, and explains how to clean, care for and store your equipment.

This is the fourth volume in a series that approaches photography in the critical, exploratory manner of a teaching or workshop course. Film is the medium on which the photographic image is made, and as such is of paramount importance when taking photographs. Will a certain scene be dimly lit, and so need a faster film? Would a black-and-white image suit better than colour? These and other considerations need to be decided before taking any pictures, and "Film" provides a course of instruction in the choices available and in the types of film most suited to specific jobs. Beginning with the basic technology and characteristics (contrast, grain, sharpness etc), Michael Freeman examines in detail each of the three main types of film - black-and-white, colour negative and colour transparency - looking at the newest technology, the different speeds of film, instant film, special types of film, and processing. Advice is given in such areas as judging exposure and taking readings from problem subjects, and choosing and using different types of filters. The last section of the book looks at the best methods of editing, filing and storing your pictures, including ways of duplicating the best ones.

This practical sourcebook is for all photography enthusiasts. It goes to the heart of photography - the image itself - explaining the creative decisions involved in making fresh, stimulating and visually strong pictures. Using a project-by-project workshop approach, Freeman stimulates the reader to see potential pictures, and to become aware of the choices available in organizing the image. The book covers "Essential equipment", "Creating the image", "Changing lenses" and "Light" and "Colour". Illustrated throughout with Freeman's photographs, the book contains much practical instruction and up-to-date information on the latest technical developments. Michael Freeman is the author of the "Collins Photography Workshop" series and the "Collins Photographer's Handbook".

Current Legal Issues, like its sister volume Current Legal Problems, is based upon an annual colloquium held at University College London. Each year, leading scholars from around the world gather to discuss the relationship between law and another discipline of thought. Each colloquium examines how the external discipline is conceived in legal thought and argument, how the law is pictured in that discipline, and analyses points of controversy in the use, and abuse, of extra-legal arguments within legal theory and practice. Law and Philosophy, the latest volume in the Current Legal Issues series, contains a broad range of essays by scholars interested in the interactions between law and philosophy. It includes studies examining the themes of the nature of law; and interactions between State, the citizen, and the law.

Law and Anthropology, the latest volume in the Current Legal Issues series, offers an insight into the state of law and anthropology scholarship today. It focuses on the inter-connections between the two disciplines and also includes case studies from around the world.
