Digital Photography Books

Anyone who has poked around this site probably came away with the feeling that I like photography. Digital photography, to be precise. After all, more than 2000 photos of Nevada are posted on Exploring Nevada.Com - all of which are digital images taken with a Canon 20D digital camera.

I'm no expert photographer. But I'm not bad, either. I've bought a few books about digital photography over the past few years, and have looked at others (camping out at Borders Books in particular). While none of the books are the "holy grail" of digital photography, I found all the books provide nuggets of useful information. Combined, the books can really give your photo taking a jump start if you apply what you learn.

All of these books are available through Amazon.Com.
