The bookstores near me have absolutely pathetic photography sections, some stores don't even have a photography section, so it makes it a little hard looking for books even though we can always look online at Amazon and similar - However, I get a little tired searching through the unknown in the photography sections of online stores.

So I thought it might be interesting to see what other members of the forum might be reading, photography wise, at the moment.

You never know, you may come across a book posted here which you've never heard of which looks interesting, that is, if this thread doesn't die a quick death.

Currently Reading;
The Moment It Clicks: Photography secrets from one of the world's top shooters by Joe McNally (external link);

I'm only a couple of pages in as I was too tired to do much last night, but this look to be an interesting read and I like the way it's written.

I received a 400D / XTi for Christmas so I've been buying a number of books, hopefully I'll get to see some posted here which will interest me.

Cheers,

Jason

Haha!
I have 2 of those 4 sitting on my book shelf keeping Kant, Mill and Neitzche warm, along with a variety of others.


I've just finnished Peter F Hamiltons latest novel, and have started on "Extraterestial Civilisations" by Asimov.

Nothing very photography related though.



So long and thanks for all the flash

Photo-wise - the 1D Mk III manual, by Canon.

Otherwise - Naomi Novik's Black Powder War, Forrest Ackerman's Ackermanthology, L. Frank Baum's Emerald City of Oz and some old Phoebe Atwood Taylor mysteries.
