Best books to read about photography for homeschooled 11th grader.

Anyone know of the best books to learn photography?
My daughter is homeschooled has been ever since 9th grade and she wants to be a nature photographer. She is really good at taking pictures but I'd love to get her books on the subject.

By using the "Search" icon in the LT's website , type:"Nature Photography" under "Work. Is she interested in the "black and white photography" in a old-fashioned way- using photographic films or "digital photography" ( a new kind of photography ) ? If she opted for B/W photography, there is a good book on Ansel Adams' style of photography - "Basic Techniques in Photography Book One and Book Two" . He was famous for photographing mountain sceneries in Americas. I think this book is suitable for home-learning.
There is a "Kodak" published about how to shot digital photographs"

Lt is ok but not the end to all for book searches- that's why i posted this question- and she is interetsed in all photography- but mostly on how to take pictures much better.

I am only suggesting that LibraryThing is one of the resources to get to know some good book titles owned by the LT members on photography, nature photography and any subjects relating to photography.

You should try Absolute Beginner's Guide to taking Great Photos by Jim Miotke. I bought it for my son when he was 16 and found it very useful. Seven years and thousand of photos later he is a professional news photographer.

From an earlier post in this group in May:

Since I'm still analog for the most part, these suggstions touch only on more "traditional" film cameras. I've little to say on the new digital frontier.

For instructional books, one has to start with the five Ansel Adams classics, The Camera, The Negative, The Print, and Polaroid Land Photography, along with Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs.

Minor White wrote the classic The New Zone System Manual regarding the now famous exposure system.

The books of by the late pictorialist era photographer William Mortensen, such as Pictorial Lighting, and Mortensen on the Negative are suprisingly good for their technical explication, even if you adhere strictly to the Ansel Adams cult and find his work dated.

For general photographic technique, I favor Basic Photographic Materials and Processes by Leslie Stroebel.

For the basics on the use of the Large Format Camera and camera movements, see Corrective Photography by Lewis L. Kellsey, and View Camera Techniques by Leslie Stroebel.

I can recommend David Pogue's Digital Photography.

It covers all kinds of cameras and shows you how to get more control over your pictures. I especially liked the chapter about 'How they did that'. As always, Pogue is amusing to read.

Specifically for nature and landscape photography, anything by John Shaw, Lee Frost or Tom Mackie are usually very good. Outdoor Photographer magazine is also a great resource.
