Qursquo;y-a-t-il de plus banal qursquo;une paire de chaussures ? Pourtant; aujourdrsquo;hui encore; la moitieacute; de lrsquo;humaniteacute; nrsquo;en connaicirc;t pas lrsquo;usage. Dans un monde ougrave; la chaussure est devenue un objet de consommation; comment oublier que nos arriegrave;re-grands-parents lrsquo;utilisaient pour les ceacute;reacute;monies et autres occasions exceptionnelles. Lrsquo;industrie a accompli son devoir : produire en grande quantiteacute; agrave; des prix plus abordables. Mais il fut un temps ougrave; la chaussure symbolisait la force des leacute;gions romaines; la puissance des seigneurs du Moyen Acirc;ge europeacute;en ou encore lrsquo;oppression des femmes chinoises. Crsquo;est une histoire longue et passionnante que lrsquo;auteur Marie-Josegrave;phe Bossan; conservateur du Museacute;e International de la Chaussure de Romans; conte avec rigueur et talent. Appuyant son analyse sur une iconographie choisie avec meacute;thode; lrsquo;auteur donne agrave; ces objets de tous les jours; des lettres de noblesse qui nous interpellent sur les modes et les valeurs de nos civilisations.

Fisher: The DIgital Zone SystemBy Marshal ShlaferSo many books on the Zone system; most rightfully targeted on black and white sheet film (where each neg can be exposed AND processed individually to optimize the exposure and print); and most giving an extraordinarily complex description of Adams methods. Applying the zone system to digital isnt as straightforward as one might like; but Fisher does a fine job of showing where exposure technique for BW film and digital color do -- and dont -- overlap. Ive purchased (or read samples) of many current books on zone system/digital and concluded that this book provided the best and clearest explanations and guidance. In addition; there are no pages wasted on bare-bones basic stuff like "what is an f-stop;" or "1/2 sec at f8 gives the same exposure as 1/4 sec at f5.6" and so on.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. THE book to read AFTER your camera manual...By SloshooterExcellent book. Some may want to read Ansels series of books to further understand WHY and HOW one can fine tune his/her before pressing the shutter button. But if you have not yet READ and studied your camera manual like the majority of "new photographers" this will be a tuff read for you.Think of your camera as a marine recruit does his rifle. When you know what all the functions and settings can do; with your eyes closed; then you are ready to go to the next level.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent Book on Digital PhotographyBy W. R. BakerAs an old zone system user back when I shot film; I was looking for something that would help me adapt it to digital photography. This book does it and does it well. It is well organized; well illustrated; and gives numerous examples to guide the reader through the process. The book is aptly subtitled; "Taking Control from Capture to Print;" because; if followed; it gives the user just that - control. I recommend it highly for any serious photographer who uses the digital medium.
