There's LOADS of good books. I came across a very nice one at a garage sale in Ireland (3 Irish Pounds = 5 USD): Andrew Hawkins & Dennis Avon: Photography. It even has formulas about Hyper Focal Distance and much more. Well - it is very old (1979) - but it's Brilliant (and Brittish). Perhaps it's available at a library.
The first lesson in exposure could very well be this: Photograph a black door - use the built-in meter default settings. Photograph a white door - use the built-in meter default settings. You'll end up with two IDENTICAL images: Two grey doors! When you figure out why, then you know the first and most important thing about exposure!

Recommendations? Most photography books I've read have not been very helpful, other than being able to look at interesting pictures. I would like to learn more about exposure, however. Nuts and bolts stuff, practical information. Any recommendations for a good learning/study guide for this topic? Bryan Peterson's book, some other? A particularly good online resource (that I can print out)? I know nothing can replace experience, trial and error, but I would prefer some sort of guide rather than wandering aimlessly... TIA. *>UncaMikey __________________________________ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you! Check email on your mobile phone. http://mobile.yahoo.com/learn/mail
