What photography books would you guys recommend for someone like me?
Now, about me...
I'm a 16 year old kid taking photography in HS (right now it's Beginner Photo; next year it will be Digital Photojournalism.) and shoot for the school paper. I'm into shooting photojournalism, sports, et cetera. Basically anything I see that I feel would look good as a picture. I'd really like to shoot events as theyre happening. For example, my school has had a bunch of rather funny catfights recently, I'd like to photograph that. Or just a crime happening (e.g., some punks beating up on someone), someone driving crazy. So, to do this, I carry the camera everywhere, including in class and in my lap while driving.
I know a lot of the basic technical stuff on photography, e.g., shutter speed, aperture, depth of field, composition. I also have a Canon XT and a Canon 650 (35mm) with a few lenses that cover most of the focal range.
I don't know if that really helps or matters, but would anyone know of any books that would be rather useful to me for what I do?
Thanks.
