Intro to Photography books??

Rhuarc

I'm looking for a good series of books to get me into the nitty gritty of photography. I've been into photography for about a year, but have never learned all of the technical aspects of it. (F-Stops, Apetures, etc...) I'm looking for something that is easy to understand at first, butis very aplicable.

A search of Amazon for Photography turns up over ten thousand results! So I obviously need a little guidance! Lol

One series that I know is very popular is the Ansel Adams series The Camera, The Negative, The Print. I know it would be a little outdated in this digital world, but I don't even understand the basics of photography yet, so that may not be a big issue.

But maybe this series gets TOO technical for what I need at this point. Anyway, I figured what better place to ask for some advice than here!! So any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated!

"Photography" by Barbara London and John Upton is great book to start out with when you don't know the basics.I am always going back to it...

Poindexter
