In my desire to keep learning, I thought I should get a few books to learn from. I can only stare at this screen for so many hours a day before I start to go crazy.
So! Fellow photographers, what book(s) have you learned the most from and will always keep in your personal library?
I'm new to photography, so I recently ordered a stack of books from eBay and Amazon. I just started reading 'Macro Photography Photo Workshop' by Haje Jan Kamps, which has been helpful already (see my Poinsettia Leaf photo). I have others by Ansel Adams, Harold Davis, Kodak, and other reputable resources that I've yet to read. I selected books by the photographers I admire and books that focus (no pun intended) on the styles I'm interested in learning, such as macro, nature photography, and black and white. Also, National Geographic's website has tips from their photographers on shooting nature photos, if you're interested in that realm. Hope that helps!
'understanding exposure' is excellent. i think scott kelby's books are okay but they're very basic. my favourite is 'the photographer's eye' by michael freeman.
