Busch, David D. __Quick snap guide to digital photography__. Boston: Thomson Course Technology, 2007.
 * 1) //"Candid photography requires patience in finding just the right scene and moment, and a little bit of luck" (Busch 165).//
 * 2) //"You'll find candid photography is a great opportunity to catch people in unguarded moments doing interesting things" (Busch 165).//
 * 3) //Sharpness is essential to landscape photography (Busch 174).//
 * 4) //"A rock-solid tripod is essential for two reasons. Focus is critical with macro shots, and it's easy to shift your camera slightly and throw your picture completely out of focus if your camera isn't mounted on a tripod" (Busch 178).//
 * 5) //"When shooting panoramas, many find it useful to mount the camera on a tripod so the camera can be smoothly panned from one shot to the next overlapping picture" (Busch 184).//
 * 6) //"Sometimes you'll want to modify the exposure your camera would choose, either because the automatic exposure is not quite right or because you want to change the exposure for creative effect, say, to produce a silhouette or extra-bright high key look" (Busch 74).//
 * 7) //"So, when you want to use selective focus to isolate your subject, a large aperture will help, but when you need to have as much of the image in focus as possible, a smaller f/stop will do the job" (Busch 66).//
 * 8) //"Increasing the ISO setting allows the camera to capture a picture using a briefer shutter speed or a smaller aperture" (Busch 68).//
 * 9) //"Decreasing the ISO setting lets you sue a longer shutter speed or a larger aperture, which might be the case when the light is very bright or you want or you want to use a longer shutter speed or a larger lens opening for creative reasons." (Busch 68).//

Kelby, Scott. __The Digital Photography Book__. Berkeley: Peachpit Press, 2007.
 * 1) //"By shooting at f/11 and focusing on the eyes, this will give you a nice level of sharpness throughout the face (and most importantly, the eyes will be tack sharp, and in portraits that is absolutely critical)" (Kelby 119).//
 * 2) //"If you wan to show the hustle and bustle of the city, slow down your shutter speed and let the people and traffic create motion trails within your picture" (Kelby 169).//
 * 3) //If you're shooting candid portraits or editorial style shots with the subject's eyes in consideration, position the eyes a third of the way down from the top of the frame (Kelby 119).//
 * 4) //"When composing your sports images, give your athlete somewhere to go, don't compose the shot so your athlete is running out of the frame" (Kelby 110).//
 * 5) //"If you're shooting wildlife, don't frame it so close that the animal has nowhere to go" (Kelby 119).//
