Newly-revised, Finely Focused: Mechanics and Creativity in Large Format Photography now exceeds 300 pages of information, illustrations, and exercises that will improve your large format photography. Developed from materials used in Fine Focus Workshops’ curriculum, these ideas have been extensively tested, and proven to be thoughtful, useful additions to your photographic knowledge.
Bruce Barlow believes in separating the Mechanical aspects of photography (setting up and using a camera, loading film holders, developing film, and so forth) from the creative aspects (where to stand, where to aim the camera, trying to get emotional feelings into photographs), never mixing the two. Finely Focused separates them, and gives you exercises to make the Mechanical more habitual and automatic, and the Creative more intuitive and expressive.
In fact, the Creative exercises are useful for any camera, any format, traditional or digital.
Offered as a CD-ROM, the electronic format meets your needs. Print only what you need (save trees), and keep it where you use it: darkroom exercises in the darkroom, field exercises in your camera bag. Customers, skeptical at first, have raved over the flexibility the electronic format gives them.
