For many years, the magazine "Soviet Photo" has published many useful tips, recipes, practical techniques necessary for any photographer - both an amateur and a professional - in his daily activities. Old journal sheets are no longer available to the general public. Therefore, the compilers of this book have selected the most interesting publications that have not lost their significance even now. All tips were revised in terms of their acceptability for modern equipment and photographic materials. The digest of "Soviet Photo" is addressed to a wide range of amateur photographers and professional photographers.
