Hi Benoit! Well it really depends on what you are needing the help with. If you go to outdoorphotographer.com they have book suggestions and they seem to be really good! The internet is full of resources. Here's the link, I hope that helps! MelMichelle A. posted Wed, 14 January 2004 at 6:38 PM

This is a very good website.... with lots of well written articles, linked above. One book I always recommend (it is my favorite), is "John Shaw's Nature Photography Field Guide". You do not need to be a nature photographer to get a wealth of knowledge from this book. It covers everything from exposure (in-depth), equipment and film, composition, macro, and more.... It's been invaluable to me as a resource.I am, therefore I create.......

If you need more books, i can give you some hints too, but i'm not really sure if all those books i like are published in Canada .. so i'm waiting if you find enough info in the book Michelle posted ... it's on my whishlist too (sadly, there's no translation and i'll have a hard time understanding all that in english .. sigh) ;) Tom

I can just give you the german titles, dunno how they are called in the US or in canadian french .. sorry ... but in searching for the authors names, you'll find them i guess. I liked the "National Geographic Foto-Guide - Landschaften" (Landscapes) by Robert Caputo a lot. Also it's small and very cheap in comparison to others. No easy book (to me) but a great one! Another one i've read recently is "Die Kunst der Landschaftsfotografie" (you may translate that to: the art of shooting landscapes) by Chris Coe. It's a little easier, more accessible than the other one, it has the better pics and very good comparisons of what one can do better (good vs bad pics of the same place) .. but i still love the first one a little better .. a very tiny little bit ;) There are great Books of Fritz Poelking .. but i don't know, if they are published in foreign languages as he is a german author. I do have two of him .. still reading. Seem to be great .. but i can't give you a final result by now. Best Regards, Tom :)

Nice!.i did a search on the internet and i can order "National Geographic Foto-Guide - Landschaften" (Landscapes) by Robert Caputo , for only 15 $ (new) and the other one the art of shooting landscapes) by Chris Coe for 20 something dollars. I seen some page on the first one and he look very interresting, because national geographic are excelent photograph. Not been able to see some page of the second one, but if you check the user rating , the second is better rated. :) Thanks you very much ToM. I realy appreciate.
Best regards, Beno Roberge
