Answer 1

"Advanced Digital Photography" by Tom Ang

"The Joy of Digital Photography" by Jeff Wignall

"Digital Photo Design" by Paul Comon

"The Art of People Photography" by Bambi Cantrell & Skip Cohen

"Beyond Portraiture" by Bryan Peterson

These were reviewed in the Dec. 2007 issue of Shutterbug Magazine. They are available at shutterbug.com if you can't find the magazine.

Answer 2

The D2X was and is a great camera in the right hands, but you are asking the wrong question here. What will a D2X do for you that the Rebel won't? What feature are you missing from the camera you currently have? Do you know how to use every feature of your current camera? Are you comfortable shooting in manual? As a beginner any film or digital SLR with a kit lens should do to get started. As your skill and knowledge progress, you will begin to find limitations of your equipment. At that point, you should consider what lens or body will help you advance. I would rather have good lenses on a basic body rather than a pro body with the kit lens. Don't make the mistake that many people do in thinking that a better/more advances/more expensive camera will automatically make you a better photographer. Doesn't work that way. As for book recommendations, anything by Bryan Peterson, especially "Understanding Exposure" would be a good start. Scott Kelby is good in helping beginners get started doing better photography. Know your camera by completely studying your camera manual. If you don't understand the terminology, get a book on basic photography. Take a class if you can, or join a camera or photography club.

You have to practice the Composition ,Ideas and Tricks by yourself, some of the books weren't teach you more, the best way to attend Photography courses by The Photographic Society,the Lectures (Intermedaie-advanced)could teach you more about the Techniques of Photography.Good Luck.

these are a few of the photography books i plan on reading, but it might depend on what interests you. Im a military photographer so a lot of my focus is stuff in the field with uncontrolled action, not studio work.

Answer 7

Look at paintings for inspiration.

Centuries ago artists were making fabulous compositions. The rules haven't changed so don't overlook painting.

Also, don't overlook the photo magazines and take an interest in the photo competitions and study the winning entries.

Answer 8

Goto a libriary. Goto a book shop. Goto a camera shop. Search Google. Somewhere there you will find what you desire.

To the gutless thumbdowner, if you have a better answer give it, or else go back to being a negative fool.
