Got two new books from Amazon.com today:

• “Understanding Exposure” by Bryan Peterson
• “Creative Night: Digital Photography Tips & Techniques” by Harold Davis

I’ve started reading the first one, and I’ve already picked up some information that is going to be very helpful.  The most helpful thing about the book is the abundance of beautiful color photographs that illustrate the differences in exposure and depth of field that can be obtained by manually adjusting for aperture, shutter speed and ISO settings.  I played around with a few settings by just shooting a few things in the house, but until I can get the camera outside in the daylight, I’ll have to content myself with reading and learning!
