I'm looking for a "beginners" photography book, something that will help me understand the basics; shutter speed, aperture, ISO, filters etc etc. I only really use digital cameras, but I suppose the medium doesn't matter too much when its at this level? Anyway, something to give me a foundation so I can build from there really. Any recommendations gratefully received, thanks.
Woody, this one is worth looking at:

Michael Langford - Basically photography
Might still have a copy if you want to borrow it?
There are some good starter guides on t'internet. I will see what I can find.

There is a [url= http://www.morguefile.com/docs/index.php/Classroom ]pretty good free photography course by Jodie Coston on morguefile.com[/url] that covers the basics pretty well.
Thanks all. Ski - that's very generous of you, sure you don't just want to sell it to me? 🙂
Drop me an email woody, will have to double check I still have a copy though.

Ski - YGM, cheers
Woody - ygm
Understanding Exposure - do a search on Amazon for it 😉
Very good at going through all the technical concepts IMO.
Woody, I live in south leeds and have a few books you could borrow if you wanted.
To add to the list, Tom Ang has done alot of decent, clear and precise beginners books.
Digital photography by Mike Hemsley is a good starting point. Big hardback book with clear instructions and does not get bogged down in details & only costs 7 quid.
If you start messing around with photoshop get Photoshop pro photography handbook by Chris Weston & Adam Juniper which is ace.
Ski - have mailed you again, hopefully you've got it, please post on here if you don't. Ta
CHB - I may just take you up on that, but going to take it one book at a time for now 🙂
Thanks all 😀
