I recently bought myself my first DSLR camera a Cannon Rebel XTi and three lens a 18-55mm and a 75-200mm kit lenses and a 100mm macro all from cannon. I also bought a tripod and tones of memory and an extra battery. Im currently reading The digital field guide to my camera but still dont quite under stand all the technical aspects of composing the picuture, such as aperature and f-stop. Can anyone recommend books for site that i should get / read and im very interest to learn more about the world of photography.

Welcome to the forum! Most people like to suggest Bryan Petersons "Understanding Exposure". Its a good read and pretty informative.

I HIGHLY recommend "The Digital Photography Book" by Scott Kelby. As a fellow newby, it has become my bible. It explains just about everything you'd want to learn and uses terms and language that is easy to understand. It's entertaining, as well!

Good luck, and welcome! :)
