Light: Science and Magic: An Introduction to Photographic Lighting

There is much to learn about the science of light in this book and most of it will never change so the basic science of the subject will always be important. However, with all the good information I was surprised at how poor the examples were using line drawings instead of real world shots of camera and light set ups. Since the original was made for film I think much of it can be updated now that the world is digital. While the science of light does not change the tools we do use change and this book needs an update, better pictures and more detailed descriptions of what they were discussing. I did learn a great deal but finished thinking this could have been so much better with some more detail! 3 1/2 stars would have been my choice if I could figure out how to give half a star!
