Hi there,I am new to DSLR world and I wanted to know what is the bestressource (book, ebook, online course) to learn this stuff :- In depth explanation of Aperture, Shutterspeed, Exposure, ISO,Focus, Polarizers, Light sources, Filters with examples (in colorplease)- In Depth explanation of the digital image (File types, histogram,image quality, monitor calibration...)- Explanation and ways to correct Fringing, Chromatic Aberration andcommon problems- If possible, tips and tricks about frequent shoot type (portrait,close-up, landscape, sports, etc...)- Lenses (not that important but it would be great)An up to datedescriptions of pros and cons of types of lenses. I own a D40 so ifit's about Nikon only it's great.

The only books I have found are out of date books, no-illustrationsbook, or physicist book about diffraction and light stuff..

I don't know of any books that match exactly to what you are looking for, here is a list of book recommendations:.

Gosh, this is a great listing of resources. Thank you everyone..

I enjoy my photography, but I dabble with my cameras. All for fun. I just try to capture the moment. I need to study more techniques and the equipment..

I have been told that I have a unique eye. I've been asked to shoot weddings..

I have been asked to do family portraits. I don't feel I am quite ready for those ventures, but perhaps one day..

I've just read the camera manuals and started experimenting. I try to shoot all sorts of photos at all sorts of settings..

Of course too, I will post questions to this wonderful group as I continue my learning by doing..

So with that said, I will take a look at some of this literature and try some things out..

Joual, remember to get to know your camera and play around with the settings so you know what does what. Take various photos and compare..

Right on! I just came here to ask the same exact question. It's like this place knows what I want before I even know what I want. Best forum on the net ever!..

Thank you for you advice Melissa!.

And yes I agree it's a really great forum, I just can't stop reading the new posts and it's by itself a great learning resource...

Previos posters gave you great list of articles. I just wanted to remind you that manual of your D40 is a Must Read, that I would read slowly and carefully. It's very good resource for novice in photography and advanced user who just bough this camera model.http://www.stan-pustylnik.smugmug.com..
