Beginner's digital photography book

[Moose.]

Now that I finally have a camera I can play around with all the settings on (a Canon S90), I feel I need to expand my knowledge a bit more of what does what and stop using the auto mode Heck, this thing has full manual control of shutter, aperture, ISO etc. so seems a shame not to be using them!

I used to do a bit of photography about 15 years ago with an old film SLR, so vaguely remember messing with shutter speed and aperture values but could do with a book or two to get me up to speed again.

Anyone got any recommendations? Preferable available as an eBook, Ipod app or online course, as I live in Indonesia so can't get many books in the shops here and mail order isn't an option.

cheers

This http://www.amazon.co.uk/Understanding-Exposure-Pho... is very helpful, but I don't suppose they'll deliver to you.

How's it going out there? I could email you an SDA problem I'm having at the moment if you miss your previous job

edit : bah someone quicker than me!

Cheers guys, managed to find the aforementioned book in one of the only English bookshops here in Jakarta. Bit pricey at £22 but looks to be a good one

Mark - can't say I miss the old job, so you can keep your SDA problem

It's going great out here though thanks. If you can convince yourself to join Facebook, you can check out all my pics, although I do post a few here:

Hopefully with my new camera and some tips from the book, I can improve the quality of the photos, especially as I'm off to Papua next! Well, first to Borneo this evening to collect the aircraft I will be piloting to Papua the following day. It's a fun life
