As suggested in the above thread, I have Scott Kelby's Digital Photography Vol 1 & 2 and Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson...all nice and easy to read and understand with examples clearly explained...biggrin

The Scott Kelby ones are good. On another tack do read books by famous photogrpahers as you will find inspiration in their images. One final one wiorth a read is Joe MacNally's "the moment it clicks". I finished this last Sunday, quite lightweight but he explains a concept he's learnt through sheer hard work and many years behind the camera. Yes, we're not going to be able to recreate many of his images but the bullet points he comes out with are sometimes right on the money.
