Internet Resources for Photography

Amfibius · 26th January 2004, 7:48 PM

Should this be a sticky? I got this idea from Chessking's post, "photography websites for beginners".

BASIC CAMERA HANDLING
www.photozone.de Look under "techniques". It is an excellent introduction on how to compose pictures.
www.photonotes.org Look under "articles". Photonotes has THE most extensive discussion of Canon EOS flash I have ever seen.
www.camerahobby.com Maintained by Canadian Edwin Leong. He has a Nikon bias but has an excellent online book on how to use your camera.
Petteri Sulonen's webpage Unfortunately Petteri has not updated his page since September last year but there are superb articles on composition and how lens choices affect your photography. (edit) this is his
new site.
ePhotoZine - plenty of articles on photography and selling your pictures.
How to clean your CMOS - a guide to cleaning your CCD/CMOS sensor with lots of pictures. (added 10/03/04)
DP-FWIW - Excellent info on camera handling and how to photograph subjects such as flowers, the moon. Also has a good glossary. (added 27/03/04)
Registry Hack - to allow Windows XP to display your RAW files in thumbnails (only for Canon). (added 01/04/04)
EOS Documentation Project - Manuals for Canon EOS cameras. (added 21/04/04)
DSLR Photography - Basic info about SLR cameras (added 22/04/04)

CAMERA MANUALS
Canon FD cameras/lenses/etc
Sony cameras

HOW TO TAKE PICTURES
Zeltsmann Approach to Portraiture. Information on how to pose your model and shoot.

DIGITAL TECHNIQUES
Jay Arraich's Photoshop Tips nice website with lots of tips

Computer-Darkroom This is where you go if you want to learn new photoshop techniques.
Lone Star Digital ... or you could go to Lone Star Digital

CAMERA EQUIPMENT REVIEWS
DP Review Phil Askey does the most comprehensive camera tests in the business.
Steves Digicams An alternative to dpreview.
DC Resource not as good as the other two. Tends to review lower end cameras.
William Castleman has some personal views of some of his equipment.
Photodo - MTF charts for a variety of lenses.
Bob Atkins - some personal views on cameras, lenses, and accessories. Mainly Canon.
Grumpy's Reviews - what can I say! This guy pulls no punches

PHOTOGRAPHIC COMMUNITIES / MISC
Fred Miranda is the best online photographic community (IMHO of course). There ARE articles and reviews and how-to's, but the forums is where all the action is.
Rob Galbraith - a community to rival Fred Miranda.
Luminous-Landscape Michael Reichmann's website. Strong Canon bias. Lots of equipment reviews, comparisons, and opinion pieces.
Photo.Net Worth a browse but I tend not to spend much time there.
Moose Patterson is a wildlife photographer. Strong Nikon bias.
Passion for Pixels Melbourne Camera Club.
300D tips and tricks 300D Tips and Tricks (added 21 Mar 04)
Battery Reviews - interesting information on NiCD, NiMH, etc. (added 23 Mar 04)

AUSTRALIAN CAMERA RETAILERS
Vanbar Imaging
Dirt Cheap
camerastore.com.au
Ted's
Camera Electronic
Plaza Cameras
Miller Camera Support
PRA Imaging
European Cameras
JD-Online (added 10/03/04)

A nice article I found recently:

Understanding Canon EOS Flash Photography

http://photonotes.org/articles/eos-flash/

Edit: Bah, just saw Amphibus has already mentioned this one in his first post

...oh well...read it ppl

Onyx · 10th March 2004, 1:07 PM

Flash systems of both Canon and Nikon.
http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~parsog...lashnotes.html

In fact, the whole of ~parsog/ site is very informative.

sirshelldrake · 17th March 2004, 11:40 PM

as a newbie this faq has been most helpful. http://photonotes.org/articles/beginner-faq/

also note, the jd-online link in first post is wrong. here is the correct link:
http://www.jd-onlineshop.com

Have put this in the main sticky but I thought it warranted a post on its own - Registry Hack. This allows Win XP to display your RAW files as thumbnails but only works for Canon RAW.

Frozen_Hell · 2nd April 2004, 5:44 PM

Another couple of links to perhaps add:

Online photographic supplies: Vanbar - http://www.vanbar.com.au/
