Photograpy Books
Here are some books I borrowed from the library:
National Geographic photography field guide : secrets to making great pictures / Peter Burian and
Cameras and lenses : choosing equipment to suit the task / Michael Freeman.
Using your camera / George Schaub.
I loved the first one, it summed up and added more photography knowledge for me. At some part of the book, there were some highly talented National Geographic photographers sharing their fantastic photos and tips for anybody who'd like to seriously taking up photography.
The other two books made great companion to the National Geographic book. I had a great time reading them.
