21 different cinematographers work through this ASC (American Society of Cinematographers) workshop and explain just about everything they're doing. It's some sweet shiz!

Another mentioned book in a different thread somewhere else is entitled "New Cinematographers" which is just as sweet.

I have been studying cinematography for a few years and my favorite books are as follows:
(If you are interested in cinematography, these are a MUST. DON'T go without them)
1. Cinematography (Third Edition) by Kris Malkiewicz ... ( I just read this, and it is amazing for FILM work (ie, 16mm and 35mm) )
http://www.amazon.com/Cinematography-Kr ... 0671762206
2. Film Lighting by Kris Malkiewicz .. (Another amazing one on lighting)
http://www.amazon.com/Film-Lighting-Kri ... 32-0184441
3. Painting with Light by John Alton
http://www.amazon.com/Painting-Light-Jo ... 32-0184441
4. The Five C's of Cinematography by Joseph V. Mascelli .. (Absolutely fantastic)
http://www.amazon.com/Five-Cs-Cinematog ... 187950541X
These are THE best cinematography books I've ever read, and I've read quite a few. These are definitely recommended.

The DV Rebel's Guide is quite helpful and interesting, written by an amateur filmmaker just like ourselves.

Lloyd Kaufman's book Make Your Own Damn Movie! is a great read for low budget filmmakers. Hilarious and informative at the same time!
