Book recommendations

To get the best out of your camera the most important resources you have is the manual that comes with your camera. Beyond your camera manual I have a couple of recommendations;

Exposure; From Snapshots To Great Shots
2nd edition
by Jeff Revell
published by Peachpit Press

Understanding Exposure; How To Shot Great Photos With Any Camera

4th Edition

by Bryan Peterson

published by Amphoto  

Both books provide excellent information and you should add one of them to your library. Either of these books can  be purchased at Barnes and Noble or Amazon.
