So lately i've really been into photography more than i ever thought i could be. I went to the library last monday and borrowed like six books and have been reading them constantly. Some of them are little dated but just because they're talking about digital cameras with 1 megapixel instead of 10 doesnt mean they work any differently. And anyway basic concepts to art never change over a few years. I also got a tutorial book that is like text book size for photoshop.

So far i've read like 4 books on cameras in general while working on the photoshop book on the side.

The one book that has completely motivated me towards becoming a great photographer and helping me finally understand all those numbers when people talk about cameras has been "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. I read that book nonstop for two days straight, basically in awe at how marvelous his pictures are and how he makes it seem so easy that with a little practice you could do it too. Although i borrowed it from the library i'm definately gonna buy it sooner or later, its worth it.

well now i'm basically working on some competitions so i can stay motivated to try harder and get better.
