I'll second Bryan Peterson's book, Understanding Exposure. But it
doesn't contain a single word on flash photography. For that I can also
recommend the Strobist <http://strobist.blogspot.com/> and especially
the Lighting 101 pages. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on flash
photography but I almost always learn something worthwhile when visiting
the Stobist. <http://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/03/lighting-101.html>
