just an idea here, why dont we all post up some of our favorite photography resources
i know one of the problems i was having was finding a good book to read, here are my learning tools, lit anyway

-- photography.ca podcasts (always a great job marko)
-- Lighting Photo Workshop Chris Bucher (i LOVE this book, alot of info in there, easy to read and has nice little assignments at the end of each chapter)

great idea. Merman!

for Photoshop post processing - Scott Kelby is your go to man. He has a lot of resources available..dvds, blog, www.scottkelby.com and www.kelbytraining.com, books - he has a great personality and training style.

youtube.com has many training vids also. just enter a topic, and you can pretty much bet someone has it covered.

as far as books go.. there are tons and tons on the market from current authors. so far, i have not yet found a really bad book...so have at it.

one of my favorite books is by McNally - it is called The Moment It Clicks - a must read from a master -in the book, he tells how he achieved a given shot that is along side the information. (I can't remember his first name for the life of me.)

Oh....Oh...what was I gonna say here umm..geez...

No problem LOL I get those moments all the time. The worst is when you're trying to tell someone about a band or some song you feel they need to hear and what comes out is..."You know them...Those guys..You know, they did that song..Aww, you know the one' then someone starts in on particle physics and it's gone forever....
