pecuniumI've been meaning to write this for a while, and now I have.
Post Exposure Advanced Techniques for the Photographic Printer by Ctein
At first blush it looks to be obsolete, it’s a book about working film, in an age about pushing pixels. Don’t be fooled, the basics are the basics. Ansel Adams and Minor White are no less relevant today, than they were when they started codifying the ideas of the Zone System. The ideas in Post Exposure are those very basics. Straight up, I like this book. There is damn little in the way of critical comment I can think of to make, so this is going to be more an explanation of what it provides by way of useful information.
