    Re: Purchase questions (beginner)

    Best advice I'd give when starting out is buy 'Understanding Exposure' by Bryan Peterson. It's about $15, a really clear read with extensive examples throughout and will let you hit the ground running.

    'Tough' meant it was an uncompromising image, something that came from your gut, out of instinct, raw, of the moment, something that couldn’t be described in any other way. So it was tough. Tough to like, tough to see, tough to make, tough to understand. The tougher they were the more beautiful they became.

    What he said, Bryan's book is a good photo 101. Use your histogram to determine proper exposure. Understanding histograms. Expose (to the) right.
