I’m re-reading Perception and Imaging, by Richard D. Zakia @AMAZON. Highly recommended.

This time I went with the Kindle edition, which is a joy to read on my big-screen NEC PA322 UHD and/or the late 2015 iMac 5K (presbyopia makes books a physical headache for me).

The use of wide apertures for landscape photography is a type of figure-ground (aka positive-negative space) approach. I need to refresh my memory on some of the nomenclature, as well as to remind myself about seeing in new ways, so I felt it was time to re-read this book.
