Last book I've read is Capturing the Light: an inspirational and instructional guide to landscape photography by Peter Watson.
I loved the book, he doesnt really write in dept about technical aspects (except maybe about some filters) but Ive learned a lot about composition and light just from his explanations with every photo eg why he waited for certain light conditions and what could have made photo better or not.
Lately Ive been reading books about photographers, photography history, and photography art. In the past I concentrated a lot on books about photoshop and technical stuff, but found the more I read about this, the more I am getting too critical about my work and tend to keep trying to "fix" it with the latest "craze" Ive been reading about.
Now I do the minimal in CS3 and concentrate more on getting the photo right first time, and I can see that at last my photography is beginning to improve.
