BOOK REVIEW
We review two stunning photo books that'll help your technique
By Joe Dolittle

In this all-new book review shootout, we put two books to the test. Read on to learn how Panoramic Photography: From Composition and Exposure to Final Exhibition by Arnaud Frich, and The Art of Black and White Photography: Techniques for Creating Superb Images in a Digital Workflow by Torsten Andreas Hoffmann stand up to our editorial review.

Panoramic Photography: From Composition and Exposure to Final Exhibition
It has never been easier to make panoramas--both in terms of the new lightweight equipment and the spectacular quality of the final image output. New vistas concerning this unique way to see the world and express oneself abound in Panoramic Photography: From Composition and Exposure to Final Exhibition.

Written by one of the world's pre-eminent panoramic photographers, the author, Arnaud Frich, the book provides diagrams to explain the technical details involved in various shots. Long on inspiration, you will find beautiful images by the author, as well as by Benot Ancelot, Franois-Xavier Bouchart, Franck Charel, Macduff Everton, David J. Osborn, and many others. Camera equipment examples and a list of suppliers make this book a valuable resource for all panoramic photographers. Inside you will find all the information you need to create your perfect panorama!

Connected Photographer's evaluation
This is another in the long series of exceptional beautiful photography books from Focal Press. Although the book provides many techniques, and a limited discussion of the gear, we longed for more specific cookbook examples and panoramic photo tricks, especially since a lot of panoramic photography is about the tools. The book also seemed to lack discussion of some of the newer high-tech algorithmic tools for creating panos, but it's still a wonderfully lovely book.

Panoramic Photography: From Composition and Exposure to Final Exhibition by Arnaud Frich, published by Focal Press, is 184 pages and has a retail price of $29.95. We give Panoramic Photography: From Composition and Exposure to Final Exhibition a rating of 4 out of 5.

OUR RATING: 4 of 5
