This book is a must have for anyone getting into the stock photography business. It will shatter some common misconceptions about what sells and what does not sell. It also will help you find subject areas worth spending your time on and identify areas that all ready have an over abundance of available stock photos.
National Geographic Photography Field Guide

A great book for the beginner all the way up to the pro. This book starts with the basics and just keeps going. Lots of great photographs too.

I have used several Java scripts from this book in my web page and plan to use even more. I think you will like the authors approach to teaching by giving examples and breaking them down into easy to understand pieces.

If you are not convinced you NEED to market your images through the Internet then this book is for you. It explains why the Internet is the best thing to come along for the niche photographer. There are lots of good ideas in here. This is not the book for you if you just need to know how to build your own web site. Try the HTML Goodies book below for that.

Once you have mastered the basics of exposure, composition is the most important thing to learn next. Photography would be nothing without composition. This book will teach you how to communicate with an image. Trust me, this is one you will want to read over and over again.

The contact information for photo buyers in this book make it a must have.

Some books I plan to purchase soon. You can also purchase any of these books at Amazon.com by clicking on the cover or the title.

My favorite bird feeders and other products

Opus 25112 Expeditions 12 Copper Bird Feeder
cover
This has been a very good feeder for me. I wish it was a little bigger.
Stop a Squirrel Bird Feeder
cover
This is hands down the best bird feeder I have ever used. My squirrels are very destructive and can ruin a new plastic bird feeder in one day. This feeder has proven indestructible. I have used one for over 8 years now and it is holding up very well. It is made of metal and so far the squirrels have only managed to scratch it. This feeder also holds so much seed I don't have to fill it very often. The perch closes off the seed when a squirrel sits on it, so the squirrels can not eat from it. It took some of my birds a while to get used to this feeder, but they all eat from it now. It seams to be my cardinals favorite feeder. I would recommend this feeder to anyone, even if you don't have trouble with squirrels.

Hopefully this will be my next camera.
