Educational books or websites?

Just wandering if you know of any good books or websites with basic to advanced photography information. Also wedding photography.

I'm surprised nobody has yet responded.

The US Navy has put together some technical training manuals - and one area they cover is photography. The manual is excellent (at times very heavy on the technical aspect) and there is a Basic and Advanced edition of the manual. Your tax dollars helped create it, so it is well worth it.

You can find it online for download at: http://www.shopdawg.com/navman.htm

I have all kinds of good stuff:

http://digital-photography-school.com/blog/ (anything from beginner to advanced)
http://www.shutterbug.net/ (info on anything digital from equipment to how to use/shoot well with it)
http://strobist.blogspot.com/ (all about light/strobes)
http://www.copyright.gov/eco/index.html (all about copyright and how to apply)
http://www.lighting-essentials.com/ (another great site about lighting both natural and strobes)
http://www.photoworkshop.com/static/...age/index.html (this is really cool, just check it out)
http://uk.fotopunto.com/articulo-exp...ing-schemes_60 ( some different lighting set ups and specs to go with)
http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=_7l-uLyO_0I (digital photography 1 on 1)


That's my arsenal, still haven't made it through all of them, but spend a few hours every night learning something new or just solidifying what I thought I knew. LOL

Oh books, the one Im currently reading is Digital Portrait Photography and Lighting by Catherine Jamieson and Sean Mc Cormick

Happy learning!

I really found the book, "How to Photograph Absolutely Everything" to be very interesting, because it is filled with good/bad examples, etc. It touched on a wide variety of photography topics such as lighting, aperture, composition, posing, etc.
