A few years ago I bought a good camera (well good for me) – a prosumer one and expected to take great photos immediately
Of course that was stupid in retrospect but I really didn’t understand why the pros took really good photo’s and mine were.. well a bit rubbish.
The camera helped and hindered as I hadn’t got a clue about many of the features (and the manual was a nightmare) then a friend bought me a copy of Scott Kelby’s Digital Photography book and it all started to make sense. Admittedly I still don’t care about why changing shutter speed makes my photos of waterfalls look really good, but it does the job, and I get approving looks from other camera fans (until they ask me why I set the shutter to a certain speed and I say “because it looked good..??”)
Anyway, there’s another volume out (I haven’t got it yet) but it’s looking good.. so any friends who want to buy it for me – then go ahead 
Scott Kelby – Digital Photography Volume II (note the publishers information and table of contents is here)
