Photography books

[Geordie]

I am a relative newbie in the photography world/just getting back into it and wish to progress from my compact Fuji (mostly used on an auto setting) to a DSLR. Everything I learnt about SLR’s years ago is almost forgotten so an anyone advise is of a good book that will provide me with more than just the basics?

Thanks in advance.

Depends on what you are looking for:
- guide in general for SLRs
- composition/exposure/lighting techniques
- general photography guides
- etc

Also look at the two books done by Scott Kelby that might help you.

guide in general for SLRs
general photography guides

sounds about right as

composition/exposure/lighting techniques
may be a bit beyond me

I really liked one of the Scott Kelby books. Corny jokes and humour, but it gave straight tips and how-to's right from the beginning. Unfortunately it's called something else in Polish but it was something along the lines of the Digital SLR handbook. It has a somewhat darker cover with a DSLR on it.
