Help with xmas pressie for snap happy dad

[Shicky]

Hello all was basically looking some help as in the title.

I currently have a copy of photoshop/camera raw etc which I will sneak on his pc along with lynda tutorials on how to do everything from a very basic level.

Now I wanted to get him a decent book you could recommend to the snap happy beginners to get them up to scratch? He has a pretty damn expensive nikon DSLR I believe and a few different lens. The only book I've spotted is the digital photography handbook by doug harman. I did check the sticky here but although the links provided may be very helpful, he would not sit and read at his computer.

Thanks for any help you can give guys, merry xmas

In before Understanding Exposure.


Get Understanding Exposure.

Do a sub forum search, and the best book will be evident.

Yeah I did a search previous to making the post and to be honest there seemed to be pretty conflicting information.

Yes understanding exposure is recommended tonnes but people also slate those for recommending it to the less tech savvy, my dad would definitely fall under this bracket
