Based on the #1 selling introductory photography textbook, Photography, by London, Stone, and Upton, this new title offers photography instructors another option to choose from in selecting a text.  Photography: The Essential Way offers:

·  comprehensive coverage of essential topics such as digital and film cameras, lenses, exposure, sensors and film, and developing black-and-white film.

·  comprehensive coverage of the latest in digital photography, including four chapters dedicated to digital technique, and digital topics that  are integrated throughout the book. 

·  a shorter length than Photography.  This book excludes coverage of darkroom printing, the zone system, and has more concise coverage of silver print display.
