Hi lads, having just recently bought a DSLR and a couple of lenses i am slowly getting used to the camera/lenses.

Could you advise me on the purchase of a good DSLR book please?

Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure.

It's an old school film book but everything's transferable. Then move on to "Learning to Think Creatively" by the same author.

This.

His way of explaining the way cameras work really worked for me and once you know that you understand how to change your setting and what changing the setting actually does!

I can thoroughly reccommend The New Manual Of Photography by John Hedgecoe (ISBN: 0751337374) - like the Understanding Exposure book reccomended above it was written a while ago but the content is still excellent, well structured and well written.

£12 if you look around. It's a bargain at several times that...
