A List of Lists

A reader recently commented that she had to read many books to supplement what she learned in the NYIP course because it only gave her the bare bones and she needed more meat.  She can buy at least 20 - 50 new photography books for what the NYIP course costs, but the trick is in knowing which ones to buy. 

Here is a list of 12 lists of books recommended by experienced photographers.  They are in no particular order so I'm not favoring one list or list author over another.  

• 7 Digital Photography Books for Beginners, on Photoble
• 10 Photography Book Recommendations By DIYP Readers, on DIY Photography
• 12 Great Digital Photography Books for Your Christmas Stocking (or anytime of the year) on Digital Photography School
• Wedding Photography Book Reviews  (scroll down on the page) on christopher maxwell phographer
• 4 Photography Books for Beginners at Steve's Digicams
• Suggested Books and Magazines at Ken Rockwell
• Best Photography Books of 2010  (not how-to's but books of photographs) on Elizabeth Avedon's blog
• The Best Books of 2010 on photo-eye Magazine 
• The Top Ten Digital Photography Books (includes Photoshop books) on Varis PhotoMedia Seeing
• Digital-Photography Books on Squidoo
• Architectural Photography Books Top Ten List on Clayton Studio
• The Best Digital Photography Books on Anne Darling Photography

These lists vary widely in book titles and authors, but the two more mentioned books were Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure and Scott Kelby's Digital Photography (which comes individually or in a 3 volume set.)
