Lo peeps

Time for me to do some reading!

Can anyone reccommend a decent book for me to learn some
theory, Especially digital SLR?

Cheers

The usual suggestion / recommendation is Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. I believe it has been updated recently to have a bit of a digital slant but the concepts shown in the original version translate well to the DSLR arena.

There's an excellent book called "National Geographic" Photography Field Guide: Secrets to Making Great Pictures which is written by National Geographic photographers. It covers pretty much everything and is very well written.

It's less than a tenner.

The ISBN is 079225676X
