Best site/book/resource for learning about digital photography?
I am going to purchase my first SLR camera very soon. It is a bit intimidating and I need some good sources of information so that I can learn what I am doing. I will try to find some loca classes, but I am not sure I will have time to join any long term courses until after June. In the meantime I will have to do some self-study. What is the best site/book/DVD for complete beginners?
There are lots of good websites. I like Digital Photography School. Lots of good articles on DSLR photography and extensive forums. Be sure to sign up for the weekly news letter while you’re there. Adorama Camera also has a lot of free tutorials online. Ken Rockwell’s site has a lot of information on hardware and technique. And, of course, the Shutterbug Magazine web site. (links below)
For books:
"The Digital Photography Book" by Scott Kelby
"Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson
"PC Magazine Guide to Digital Photography by Daniel and Sally Grotta.
RTFM (Read The...uh...Friendly Manual). Really.
Other: Most major camera models have video tutorials and cheat sheets available. And check the manufacturer’s site for tutorials. Nikon, for one, has a bunch.
