Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
Practical Cinematography discusses the principles of cinematography and the expertise which is unique to the Director of Photography (DoP). It deals with all the basic theory such as colour temperature and sensitometry, and all the practical things a DoP needs to know, from the make-up of the crew to how to prepare an equipment list.
The book is divided into six sections: The Unit; The Technology; The Cinematographer's Craft; Operating; The DoP's Preparation; Future-proofing.
Its contents are arranged so that it may be dipped into for quick reference - perhaps to answer a specific question or deal with practical problems relating to a shoot - or read from cover to cover.
Film-making is an art, but, like so many art forms, there are basic underlying tools and techniques and a body of theoretical knowledge that must be understood and mastered before artistic expression can flourish. This book is intended to be of assistance to all aspiring DoPs, whether you are just starting a career, or already have considerable experience in the other grades.
Paul Wheeler has a wealth of practical expertise as a Cinematographer, combined with wide experience as a highly respected trainer. After 25 years with the BBC, latterly as a Senior Film Cameraman, he has had a flourishing career as a freelance Cinematographer which has brought him many awards. Between his busy film-shooting schedule, Paul has stood in twice as Head of Cinematography at the National Film and Television School and also spent some time as Head of Cinematography at the Royal College of Art. He is a member of the British Society of Cinematographers (BSC) and a Fellow of the British Kinematograph, Sound and Television Society (FBKS).
