Originally posted by TylerD Hello alamo5000, after I read this I went on to Amazon UK to see what was available for the Kindle.Unfortunately neither of the two you recommended are out on Kindle yet but the print versions are discounted just now at £12.59 each including free delivery if anyone's interested. Another one by Michael Freeman, " Perfect Exposure: The Professional Guide to Capturing Perfect Digital Photographs" was available for the Kindle . The user reviews were very good so I 've gone ahead and bought it. Thanks for the heads up
You're welcome!
I will read these two that I have first and then possibly look for the other later on. If I am not mistaken I looked through that one as well but opted for the two I have. In order of preference 1) Photographer's mind 2) Photographer's Eye...the one you got might be great but the two I have are really great.
I am having serious information overload to be honest but these books are right down the runway for what I wanted (and needed).
I forked out the dough to buy the camera and I am not one to ever slouch at things that I take up... Now I am taking up photography.
Hence, I will probably spend another $200 on even more books later on up the road. This is the second round of books I bought. 1st round I read up to learn the basic stuff. I read off and on for about a year before I ever bought a camera at all. Now that I have the camera I want all prime auto focus lenses of every stripe known to man.
This of course accompanies my manual focus lenses that I have already
My problem is where I live I have a hard time finding good subject matter to shoot. Here I don't find much that is inspiring but the books are helping even with that now that I am thinking about it. Where I live is honestly relatively boring...that is unless you want to shoot some action shots from BINGO night at the local old folks home...
In the end though NOTHING replaces skill. No skill, no luck. $25,000 worth of gear can't fix somebody with no knowledge.
