Yes
looking at buying a guide book to go with my Sony A200

which one would be the best bet?

i have found Sony A200 by Shawn Barnett for £8 but just want to know if there are any others out there etc..
 
is it a specific sony alpha users guide book your after or a more general photography book comprising technique etc

well i thought mainly to cover the sony as it would explain the settings etc.. but are dslr settings more or less the same across most manufacturers?

sorry to be a bit dim, still a relative newbie but i am looking to gain more understading of what does what if you know what i mean
 
the settings themselves will on the whole be the same, however how you access them will be specific to the manufacturer, if you can get past that then a more general book would provide you with a very good grounding. im not 'up' on sony photography gear so couldnt direct you any further.


however i can wholeheartedly recommend this book as a general guide, ive bought it for my father and he found it very useful - understanding exposure by peterson
 
I've been thinking about ordering this book: The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos by Michael Freeman. It's got very good reviews according to Amazon, but has anyone here read it?

I have it, can't recommend it highly enough. Must start putting some of it into practice! :bonk: :D

:agree:

Served me well on a flight back from Chicago a couple of weeks ago!

It's the sort of book you can refer to over and over as it's not a "do it this way" style of book, rather a "this will have this effect" guide.

Well worth the investment IMO.
 
thanks for all the replies guys

think i shall be adding one of these to my xmas list ;)
