Photography books for beginners
 

Can anyone please recommend a few photography books for beginners?


Thanks :)

go to barnes and noble - there are new books everyday

amazon is your friend. ask her.

oki cool... just wondering if anyone has read a few and found a specific book that was really well written...

Take a look at some beginner & basic books by John Hedgecoe. He's been in photography forever and explains things well in laymen's terms.

As suggested before also go to B&N. There are just tons of awesome photography resources these days. Plus hit up photography forums online.

And don't forget to take an SLR with you whenever you can and just start shooting. I have been shooting for almost 20 years (for hobby & professionally) and after picking up the basics I learned the most by getting out there and experimenting... Good luck:thumbsup

Yeah, it's all about just trying things. DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLE!

Doing it and getting it right and wrong is the best lesson. But make lots of notes while you're shooting so you can review them later and decide what was right and what was wrong.

The first book you ned to learn from is the manual the camera came with.

Lee Frost is a young photgrapher who made alot of pretty nice books about photography starting from cameras and lens to printing fine prints.



I just bought Red Hasselblad 2 weeks ago. This toy is real.

Good luck .. Photography its fun!

Photography - Barbara London et al.
Basic Photography Materials and Processes - Leslie Stroebel et al.

The first is a good book to learn the very basics, the second is a good one for more detailed and advanced stuff (warning: contains physics & formulas).

Great advise so far.

I would add:

Join a camera club. Try to get into group shoots so that you can watch other photographers.

Best way I found to learn, especially lighting.
