Question: Books on how to become a photographer!?
Ever since I was in 6th grade I've wanted to be a photographer!. Whether it be landscape or portrait or anything!
My problem is that I have one child and another on the way, so I don't have the time or the money to go to school for it!. I also am pretty clueless when it comes to different cameras and stuff like that!.Where can I find books that can help me!? As well as maybe some websites!? I would really appreciate some help!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Best self-instruction book is Photography (Paperback)
by Barbara London (Author), John Upton (Author)!.

Buy a used copy, 6th or 7th edition will do, and you will save a ton of $$$!. A Short Course in Photography (5th Edition) by Barbara London and Jim Stone (Paperback - Jul 30, 2002) is also a great resource!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Browse through Google books!. Sometimes you'll be able to preview complete books before you purchase them!. My best suggestion is to read your photo manual and play around with your camera!. With 2 kids, why not use them as your subjects!. If you need suggestions on cameras I'd be more than happy to give you a few!. Low-end but great quality!.!.!. Canon Powershot SD1000 or if you have the money and want a more professional feel, try a Nikon D700!. Feel free to email me for more info if you need!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
