p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Recommended Photography book reading


I will be heading to Las Vegas and Monument Valley next week, I have a nice long boring plane ride ahead of me and i bought a magazine/book from BAM to read. However i figured id post here to get some opinions.

Some of the books i saw at BAM didn't really peak my interest, in the sense that they seemed to have good information, however they would show you the photo from the topic they were talking about which is great, but doesn't say anything info about the photo(i want to say I'm looking for EXIF?). For me i love to see that stuff for frame of reference to help me more understand not only the concept but how to achieve the concept.

Does anyone have any recommendations for beginner/intermediate level learning. It doesn't even have to be a book, i can always print of some really good articles to ready, i know i saw some on photography life i want to print and read on the plane.

Feel free to ask any question if I'm not being clear enough, I took photography in Highschool 15 years ago with an SLR, just bought my first DSLR a month ago.

Thanks for reading.

+1 on BRyan Peterson's book, I also liked "The Beginner's Photography Guide" by Chris Gatcum. Lots of easy-to-understand examples written with an easy reading style using a step-by-step approach.

Bought mine at Barnes&Noble but can be found at many other sources.
