What are some good beginners photography books?

Where can i find a beginners guide to photography?

  • well im goin on a trip soon, so i just purchased a cannon g12. it was reccomended to me by many, and ive used the g9, liked it. used the g12, liked it more. so now that i have a good camera with tons of extensive features; where can i learn to use them? tricks and cool things i can do. i like photography and i want to get into it. perhaps a website for beginners/classes/ books? i also have used photoshop, very basic stuff though. thanks for any help!

  • Answer:

    For a complicated camera like the G12 (I have a G6 BTW and love it!) there is no substitute for reading the manual, not just once, but sitting down with the camera and working on actually understanding the menu and features. (Hint, learning to navigate the menu takes some time and practice, even if you totally understand exposure etc.) If you have a significant amount of knowledge already, there should not be anything you don't understand once you apply yourself to a little study. If you do find terms you don't know, visit the library or bookstore for a book on basic photography or basic digital photography. Search Youtube for tutorials on your camera model, and the Canon website as well. Have fun with your new camera!
