What photography books would you recommend?

Can anyone recommend some fabulous and good photography books?? Beginner-ish level...?

  • I have just started a photography course and am looking to get a few books to learn a little more and help me along. I am looking for something that can help me really understand aperture, shutter speed, and all the basics etc preferably with visual examples. Must be an easy to understand book. Then I am also looking for something that is a little more 'creative'.......you know learn to really explore the world of photography, something with loads of really amazing photos as inspiration and how to see things differently than the average photographer. So if anyone has read anything along these lines plz let me know - thanks!!

  • Answer:

    "Understanding Exposure", by Bryan Peterson. Good for any level. You will never see light the same way again.

Check Amazon for a used book "Photography Today", by Lou Jacobs, Jr. It has everything you need and will be a good reference for years to come. When I first started teaching photography, I used this as the text book for my classes. It still stands the test of time.
