+1 that thing is a bible, plus once youve learnt something, it can be applied to a whole range of subjects.

Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson taught me more in the first couple of chapters than anything else I've read.

I bought Understanding Exposure as my first book and I learned a lot from it and have been a happy 'Manual Mode' shooter ever since.

I also got Scott Kelby's Digital Photography boxset which covers a lot too.

The tutorial section on this forum is great too. If you prefer video, check out D-Town TV and Kelby Training - both great IMO.

Do you have any specific interests in mind? Understanding Exposure is good. I enjoyed 'Photographers Eye' by Micheal Freeman as it gives some nice ideas with regards to composition. I have found this useful for reference purposes when composing a shot with time on my hands. At the moment I am looking at 'Digital Landscape Photography' by John and Barbara Gerlach - An enjoyable read.

Have a look here for some more ideas.
