Hi Everyone,
I'm just starting to learn all about aperture, f-stops, etc. and was wondering if there were any good books that you guys would recommend for someone to read.
Thanks,
Kevin.

Understanding Exposure. The name of the author slips my mind right now, but it's a great book.

Some of the Rick Sammon books are good as well.
I read one by Bambi Cantrell which was good for creativity for me.

Any other book suggestion is invalid, the ONLY book you will ever need about digital photography is called Photography (9th Edition) by Barbara London and John Upton.
The book costs $90, but it is well worth it, stop by a local bookstore and check it out, it is HIGHLY recommended. Its almost the "The way things work" for photography. This book is so thorough, its almost the internet in one book, pictures, diagrams, every freaking aspect about photography, digital or film, is in this book. If this is not on your shelf, you do not know what you are missing.

Holy crap! I don't even have this book and I already feel like I should be telling my grandmother about it.
