Hi I have only read Bryan Peterson's books.

I think there are 5 books all in all.

i usually dun read haha. but i have the following books (all Scott Kelby):
Digital Photography Vol1-3
CS4
Lightroom 3
For photography skills, personally instead of reading, I prefer to do self exploration (trial and error). I just need to know the relationship of aperture, shutter speed and ISO. Its good to start off.
For post processing wise, I had to refer to books as I don't know what some features does in the software that will enhance my photos.

Hi! So sorry must have clicked the post button too many times
these suggestions sound really good. Any recommendations for beginner photographers?

Scot Kelby Digital Photography Vol1-3 is good for beginners, very easy to understand.
Thanks for your recommendation! Is it helpful for a beginner to attend photography classes as well to improve skills?
i dun think attending a class is useful. at least to me. i am a more practical person and classrooms is a bore.
It's always better to shot subject that interest him/her more and do take some time to analyze the subject from different-different aspects (e.g the lighting, angle, composition, color, etc2). Seriously don't do it in hurry....after getting the photo which you think is the best, don't forget to post it in CS to get comments and critics
.I heard from my friend who join photography class of 30 people, their lecturer gave assignment to take 1 egg photo and give them 1 week time.
It sounds so simple, but the catch is that each of them should not have same photo / concept.... from that experience he said that's the first time he really have to think hard just to take an egg shot, to make sure no one in the class take the same photo like him

That sounds like great advice! Wow the egg photoshoot sounds really tough! how can you take a picture of an egg in so many different ways??
Hi there!
I was fortunate to attend Guide to Travel Photography by Richard I'Anson. He's the author to Lonely Planet's Guide to Travel Photography. He threw in the book as part of package too. Great guide book for me.
