This four-volume student text is designed for use by Air Force personnel enrolled in a self-study extension course for apprentice still photographic specialists. Covered in the individual volumes are general subjects (career ladder progression, security, photographic safety, and photographic laboratory administration); still photographic fundamentals (existing and supplemental light sources, photographic exposure, sensitized black-and-white materials, photographic optics, and photographic filters); photographic camera assignments (principles of photographic composition, general and studio assignments, and reproduction photography); and photographic laboratory applications (black-and-white chemistry, film processing and finishing, printing, and finishing; principles of color photography; and quality control). Each volume in the set contains a series of lessons, exercises at the end of each lesson, a bibliography, and answers to the exercises. Volume review exercises are also included. (MN)
