Hi all,

Im looking for a guide to help me on my way with Photography and better my Techniqes, and iv found these few on Amazon.

100 Ways to Take Better Nature and Wildlife Photographs by Guy Edwardes

RSPB Guide to Digital Wildlife Photography by David Tipling

Photographing Wild Birds by Chris Gomersall

Are any of these reccomended please?

:cat:B :)
 
If its for bird photography i'd highly reccomend Arthur morris ' The art of bird photography' , although its back in the days of film cameras its still very relevant.
 
The Art of Bird photography is excellent and probably the best but may be out of print. It may be worth checking Art Morris's website. However there is quite a bit in the book and for a start off, I would suggest Tipling's books.

Chris Gommersall's book is superb also.

I know nothing about the Guy Edwards book.

You might try ' Photographing animals in the wild...hints and tips' by Andy Rouse' which explains exposure etc in a very simple way for beginners. You may be able to get this book from book sellers or you can try Andy's website.
 
I think Andy Rouse is a very engaging writer and he explains things extremely clearly.I've read no end of wildlife photography books over the past two years and i still think he's got something special.However, my first choice is "Digital Nature Photography:the Art and Science" by John and Barbara Gerlach.Picked it up in Waterstones. I keep going back to it.
 
Skywatcher mentioned the Andy Rouse books, Andy also has a book out called "Understanding Raw Photography".

It's not exactly about how to get the shot but it does have some excellent help that goes from camera set up right through to getting the image onto the screen.

Plus the book has a load of great shots as well.
