Book Recommendations?

[n30_mkii]

I'm trying to come up with some ideas for my amazon wish list.

I have
'Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera '

I'm ideally looking for some good digital photography books in the following areas.

IR Photography
Macro Photography
Post Processing Techniques

Other suggestions welcome

Thanks for that, are they books you have read? Any other recommendations?

assuming you've got photoshop... Photoshop for dummies (you get version specific ones, CS2 CS3 etc)

I'm currently working my way through one and it's looking good so far

Yes, I have both of those books, and both are very good.

Thanks to Father Christmas, I can recommend:

The Genius of Photography - Gerry Badger
This compliments the BBC series and is quite good

Sports Photography- How to capture action & emotion - Peter Skinner

RSPB Guide to Wildlife Photography - David Tipling

And thanks to recommendations on here, getting the Understanding Exposure book and The Art of Digital Photography (John Hedgecoe) from Amazon and next month, will get the Tom Ang books that have been recommended
