ziploc said:I find John Shaw's Nature Photography Field Guide very good for beginners too. It has all the basics (how to count stops, manual exposure with spot metering, sunny16 rule, composition, etc.), and even if you are not interested in nature photography, it is still worth reading. Highly recommended. It is sold at Borders for $48.99, but you can mail order it from Amazon for a cheaper price.

I am eyeing a book on Amazon at the moment.

darrelchia said:me still learning the basics of photography, and so far i have these 2 books which i think would be a very good starting point
1) National Geographic Field Guide 2nd Edition: Secrets to making great pictures.
2) Understanding Exposure - Bryan Peterson
personally, think reading (1) has already helped my composition skills a lot, as well as improve my technique .... i'm still reading (2)
