Understanding Exposure: How to Shoot Great Photographs with a Film or Digital Camera (Updated Edition)
Bryan Peterson
Amphoto Books, 2004
Excellent book
At first glance I was disappointed with this book because I opened it up and saw a bunch of pretty photos. I thought I had bought a picture book with no real value of teaching me how to take great photographs.
Since I had it I decided to read it. I have learned so ...

The Moment It Clicks: Photography secrets from one of the world's top shooters (Voices That Matter)
Joe McNally
New Riders Press, 2008
Fun to read and illustrative as well!
First of all, the pictures in this book are great, and for that alone it is worth buying.
With each picture Joe tells a small story on how he got to the picture. Some reviewers were expecting a closely detailed "how to", and this is not it.
