1Togo Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Dd is taking a photography class and loves it. What photography books would you suggest for a teen? She wants to move forward with some good books after this semester. Also, one of her themes for the next class is "thoughts." Does the hive have any ideas for photographs that would illustrate this theme? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosy Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson is excellent if she's using an SLR camera (with the removable lenses). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Wisc Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I've learned a lot from The BetterPhoto Guide to Digital Photography by Jim Miotke. http://www.amazon.com/Betterphoto-Guide-Digital-Photography-Amphoto/dp/0817435522/ Interesting, well written, "clean".

Momof3Maidens Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 My Dd took a one semester course last year using Oak Meadow's Introduction to Photography syllabus and The Better Photo Guide to Digital Photography. It was a fun course for her. This year she is shadowing a local photographer. She's not only gaining experience in photo shoots but also in the business and advertising side of it as well. She loves this! As far as the "thoughts" theme goes, have her shoot some photos of things that reflect her mood and perception of things. For instance, my Dd loves playing the keyboard and could play for hours. She recently took a picture of our piano keys. She shot the photo from an angle that was absolutely beautiful. She is also an avid reader and took a picture of our living room bookshelf. Just a picture of books, but it was an incredible shot. I love books too though so I loved it. What does your daughter love to do, what interests her? Have her ponder on it and then shoot some pictures reflecting those things. Happy Photographing!

Jamee Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 Understanding Exposure is one of the best and very easy to follow, especially with an SLR. Any of Petersons books are great, but I'd start with this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
