Hi all, 24 years later I decided to go back to the books...I would like to call it my 2nd "photography" life
I'm 44, I live in Venice - Italy and about 28 years ago I started as "shadow" (I hope that my italian tranlation make sense in english) photographer and darkroom boy in a studio here in Venice...after 2-3 years the pro pthographer changed location as I did for the university...life changed, I sold my old olympus OM-1 equipment and basically stopped taking photos...to make it short, 2011 birthday present of my wife: Nikon D90 :heart: with 18-105 kit...after playing one year with it, I decided to go a little deeper and go back to school. Time is not so much (work, family, 2 daughters) but I'm really enjoing passing my free time watching LR lessons on the internet and learning PP methods (quite different and much easier than old darkroom times); I shot RAW and use LR 4 to PP.
I would like to order a couple of books to start back with exposure and composition, as my eyes are "very different" today (I'm no more 16) and I think that even if I can easily master the basics (the exposure triangle), I also understand that technicaly things changed (especially with ISO) and a couple of readings will refresh my tech background.
I'm considering Understanding Exposure (Peterson), Perfect Exposure (Michael Freema) but if you have different suggestions I'll be glad to hear from you...
I also have a flickr account (with just one photo at the moment as I never considered to show my pics outside the 4 domestic wall) and I think that I have to start taking unfriendly but helpful comments to my pics
Thank you all
Roberto
