There’s no hiding that I am an amateur when it comes to photography. I’m not completely delinquent as I have had experience working on the newspaper and yearbook staff in high school, taken a beginners college photography class, and worked briefly with a wedding photographer as the go-to girl. But now that I am graduating from a simple point and shoot camera to a DSLR, I checked out a book from the library that looked interested. National Geographic: The Ultimate Field Guide to Photography will teach anyone how to take a good photograph. And even if you are a decent photographer, it has chapters on advanced techniques, taking great pictures with a camera phone, digital darkroom, and archiving. I am loving this book!

i’m going to read this book because i am wanting to learn how to use my canon rebel better, i think i’m going to take a class this fall too. =) thanks for the recommendation.
I’ve read a hundred and 1 books about photography and have been using an Digital SLR for quite some time. Any questions you have just ask, although it sounds as if you’d be well versed already
Oh just checked the all time photography source of ken rockwell (http://www.kenrockwell.com) and it looks like you got a really great camera.
