Hi all.
I've read "Understanding Exposure" a few times and found it pretty useful so the other day I got another Bryan Peterson book - "Learning to See Creatively".
I think I've reached a frustrating stage in my photography because I know exactly how the camera works, I'm shooting pretty much fully manual and getting technically good exposures, but not really capturing that magic image due to my crap composition skills.
This book seemed a bit of a bargain on Amazon (under £12) and is very similar in style to the other one of his that I've read. First impressions are that I'm going to get a lot from it, there are exercises to develop your photographic eye so you will know which lens/focal length to use immediately when you size up a subject, recognising patterns, basic composition rules (and when to break them).
I'm quite impressed so far so just thought I'd mention it on here.
Would anyone else recommend any other books on composition?
