Title: Book Recommendation for new Canon DSLR user???
Post by: tlbradford on February 16, 2009, 08:54:53 AM: I know almost everything is online these days, but I tend to learn better with something I can hold, read, and reread. Any books you guys would recommend? Not just wildlife photography, but photography in general.

I know Shaw came to Seattle recently and did a 2 day photo workshop. I've done those and they are very worthwhile.
