Hiya,

Not sure if this is the right place to post this request, but I am looking for any recommendations to books or literature that members have found very useful.

I have already received a few recs, and would like to increase my DSLR library. If you do have a book rec, please could you let me know the ISBN No., Title & Author, or even better a link to where I might be able to purchase the books.

Also any links to websites would be great!

I have recently purchased a Canon EOS 1000D, so books relevant to the model, but not necessarily would be great. Also have a keen interest in landscape/scenery pics and would also like to improve my portrait pic taking.

As I am new to the 'tech talk' of photography, any suggestions would be great.

I have started my own 'tog journal' where I note all the tips, trick and advice I read here at TP - which has been great :)

I am on a new journey in life ..... to hopefully become a professional photographer one day and I realise it may be a long one .... but at least I have made a start :D

What would also be great is if there are any members who can share their experience of how they got to where they are now (either on this thread or by PM is so wish).

I am also looking forward to learning from other newbies, their photos and c&c's left there.

I am so addicted to this forum at the moment. First thing I check in the morning and straight after work (unfortunately I can't access at work :'()

Thanks in advance for your help, advice and suggestions.

Happy TP'ing

Take care

Dawn :)
 
Here is a link posted to a similar thread a few days ago

I have a couple of the Brian Peterson books and they are good. Maybe a field guide for your camera too, as the manuals tend to cover everything, but not easy to read.

Incidentally what does tog stand for? I have heard the term for listeners of Terry Wogan on radio 2, but not photography.

I also have

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Critical-Theory-Photographers-Ashley-Grange/dp/0240516524

Which is excellent, but does point you to other books you may want, to develope your analysis.

I have just ordered some of the recommended books, and I am considering starting a critical theory discussion on this forum. I don't think one already exists.
 
two great books here

Thanks for the recomend, I will check out the link.

I use the term 'tog' as an abreviation for photography/photographer .... not sure if it is correct, but makes it easier than typing the words out all the time. Not sure if it is associated to the radio presenter you referred to.

I agree the manual can be a bit daunting ..... hence why I want to search out books that make it easier to understand.

Think you have a good idea there with the critcal theory discussion .... keep me posted.

Take care

and thanks again

Dawn :)
