Pocketgids voor fotografie in kleuren – Herbert S. Zim en R. Will Burnett

Pocketgids voor fotografie in kleuren by Herbert S. Zim and R. Will Burnett is a compact, richly illustrated handbook for amateur photographers. It covers the fundamentals of photography, with practical guidance on cameras, lenses, film, filters, exposure, flash photography and taking colour pictures.

Other topics include film processing, printing, enlarging and special photographic effects. Its handy pocket format and numerous illustrations make it an interesting introduction to analogue photography from the mid-twentieth century.

The original edition contains 160 pages and 392 photographs and diagrams, including 185 in colour. The exact details of this Dutch-language edition have not been confirmed.
