I'll mention the same ones I did in that thread. "Understanding Exposure" and "Learning to See Creatively" by Bryan Peterson.

If your into sports check out Digital Sports Photography by G. Newmann Lowrance. It can be found at any Barnes and Noble or Amazon.com I have it and find it really informative as far as what it takes to get the great shots that we see in Si or sporting news.

Lisa, Alex and I were at a local book store and came across this book..

It seemed to be a great book for the starting photog because it really gave some good explainations on how to understand exposure. it even had a ton of side by side photos of the same subject shot using varying settings. Each photo listed the camera settings used such as shutter speed and aperture. this really helps you understand what different settings do in different situations and how it affects your depth of field etc.

Understanding Exposure
by Bryan Peterson

Book on Amazon.com Here fpr $15.98
