"Photographing without mistakes" is a translation of the book by German author Kurt Fritsche "Das grosse Fotofehler-Buch", published in Leipzig in 1958.
In the book, Fritsche talks in detail about the mistakes that a photographer can make at all stages of taking a picture: from shooting to printing. The book is a reference book that lists the causes of image defects, as well as ways to prevent and correct them. Descriptions of many defects are accompanied by illustrations.
The book is divided by the author into three parts according to the stages of creating a photograph and, accordingly, making mistakes and defects in the picture.
- Shooting
- Negative
- Positive
We will not dwell in detail on all the defects described in the book and ways to prevent them, since this will require transferring almost all of its contents here. We advise everyone interested to read the book in full, but here we will only list the headings of the content by which you can evaluate the list of topics under consideration, and we will add examples of defective images to the gallery.
This book can be very useful for people who are interested in photography and the history of photography, as well as for practitioners of analog photography. It is also a must-read for paranormal researchers. The examples given in the book will make it possible to identify or exclude from probable explanations defects in shooting on film photographs and negatives acting as material evidence of supernatural phenomena, as well as to identify the stage of shooting at which these defects could appear.
We express our great gratitude to Alexey, who provided the book for review.
