i have looked and don't seem to find anything other than in the forums about what books and/or training tools are available or are best for beginners on this site. it would be nice if there was a separate place where some one could list any books and any other training tools that beginners would find useful.
here is the list of what i bought -
| [SIZE=-1] "Scott Kelby's Digital Photography Boxed Set, Parts 1, 2, 3, and 4"
Kelby, Scott[/SIZE] |
| [SIZE=-1] "Understanding Exposure, 3rd Edition: How to Shoot Great Photographs with Any Camera"
Peterson, Bryan[/SIZE] |
| [SIZE=-1] "Nikon D3100 For Dummies"
King, Julie Adair[/SIZE] |
| [SIZE=-1] "The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)"
Kelby, Scott[/SIZE] |
| [SIZE=-1] "The Photoshop Elements 10 Book for Digital Photographers (Voices That Matter)"
Kloskowski, Matt[/SIZE] |
i did quite a bit of research on this site and others and these books consistently get the best reviews. as i read these titles i will try to post a blog about what i think about each title.
thanks for all the assistance from everyone and i hope i can be of some help to anyone else just starting out like i am.
