More info | Jul 15, 2016 02:52 | #6 My only issue with using the internet as your source of learning is reliablity of the information, since anyone can set up a website for free these days. The advantage with traditional publishing is that there will be at least some review of the accuracy of traditionally published materials. The publisher doesn't want to get a bad reputation afterall. For the begginer, who obviously cannot tell from their own experiance that stuff from the internet is simply wrong, traditional publishing sources are a much better way to go.

I have to disagree with that. The internet is probably the worst place to try and gain accurate information on a subject you know very little about. Don't get me wrong there are some very good tutorials available if you know where to look, but there is also a hell of a lot of garbage posted too.

It's more about making pictures and how to compose, than an owners manual to your camera. Canon 6D 50mm 1.4 and 16-35mm f/4 IS

But there are a huge number of self-published books and the official "publisher" doesnt care or review content. You can basically say anything you want right or wrong. Its not 1965 anymore.

tonylong ...winded  More info | Aug 06, 2016 03:04 | #14 As to "Understanding Exposure", it's s good book covering the basics of photography, great for a beginner but realize that it came out during the film days, so for digital photography you want the Third Edition (via, say, Amazon Books) or the updated work that you can upload via the Internet.

But, yeah, books are great! There is, in fact, a "sticky" link here for books: https://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=53846 Thank you for another suggestion, its helpful as well
