What are some good recommendations on books (physical or digital) on photography I can read to become a better photographer?

I have had my Nikon D3200 for about a year now and am having lots of fun with it. Now that I will soon have some time off from work, I want to improve my skills and become a better photographer.

I have learned and now understand the basics of the exposure triangle and how to use these settings to create different effects as desired.

What I think I need the most is to become better at composition and finding the right angles that give a shot its depth.

What literature would you recommend I read during my time off to become better?

You can see my journey in my posts here on Lemmy, or for a more easily digestible format, check out my Mastodon account.

If something needs more information, just ask, and I’ll reply.

I appreciate any advice you have for me.

    I feel that nobody can teach you angles, it’s what you see and you perceive through the lens. You make the shots, and then edit them to make them better. I personally like to keep the f to 2.8 to blur the background, but it all depends on what you are shooting.

    But books to read - Photography for Dummies - that’s the one I went with. Lol
