DSLR crew - recommend me a book/website
5-8 years ago I used to use all the functions on my old film SLR, but on my DSLR I can't seem to stop using the built in shoot modes. I want to get away from that and unleash the full potential of my camera, and not have paid $500 for a camera that looks like it shoots like a $99 one. Anyone know or used any good books or did some reading on some good websites???

I'm thinking of buying:
Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film Or Digital Camera:
Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film Or Digital Camera: Amazon.ca: Bryan Peterson: Books
and The Digital Photography Book Any other suggestions? |
what kind of camera do you have?
|
Canon EOS Rebel XTi
|
I've heard great things about both of those books.
are you looking more for how to operate your camera, or photography theory? If the former, just pick up a magic lantern guide or something. If the latter, get one of those books. Ansel Adams also has a good series, but that may be a little specialized. |
Please also provide web references for similar books/related information
I am getting my D60 this week and would also like to enlighten myself on this subject :) |
I enjoyed Kelby's The Digital Photography Books and found them helpful without being overly technical. As for websites, digital-photography-school.com has some really good writeups and forums.

I'm more looking for the theory aspect - I know the how's of the camera, just not the when's or the why's. So I may order those two books and give them a try. They have great reviews and are nicely priced.

Well I ordered the two I posted - and I may see if I can d/l or find that dummies for my camera too. Anyone every read The digital photography book - volume 2? I think it deals more with extra equipment. I may look at it after I get through and learn these two.
