    Hi Guys

    I remember that like a year ago some of you suggested a book to learn photography, and some of you suggested some websites with the same or similar content, but I can´t find the post or the books/website names.
    can you please tell me again the names and url of them?

    maybe this post will help all the guys in my same situation.

    I found a few videos from a guy that gives nice tips in youtube, and I´ve tried them and they really work,

    but what I can´t remember is about the speed an aperture, and all that basic things about photography I hope you can give me some directions.

    Best regards

    Ever

    Scott Kelby has some great photo 101 books that explained a lot of things to me when i first got into dslr's.
    ''The Digital Photography Book, Volume 1 '' and ''The Digital Photography Book, Volume 2''

    Joe McNally also:
    ''The Moment It Clicks: Photography secrets from one of the world's top shooters (Voices That Matter) ''


    Some forums I frequent:

    dgrin.com
    fredmiranda.com
    nikoncafe.com
    nikonians.org

    hope this helps

    Photography by Barbara London is probably the most complete and well annotated book on the subject I've read.

    Note there are more technical and specialized texts out there, for example Ansel Adams texts (The Camera, The Negative, and The Print), but as a general book London's is the best.
