Photography links

Follow up to my previous post.

One of the best sites i found regarding photography, is:

Ken Rockwell
http://www.kenrockwell.com/index.htm

Some of the his best articles so far:

• How to make great photographs
  
• Why your camera does not matter
  (this helped me decided which digicam to use -- Canon Powershot A700)
• The seven levels of photographers
• Why your wife wants you to buy that new camera

More articles can be found from his tech site. His current recommendation for a DSLR -- is the Nikon D40, for those who are really serious about taking great photos -- not to mention it's cheaper than other DSLRs. He's a Nikon kind of guy (we also prefer Nikon for DSLRs, while Canon/Olympus for compacts).

Ken's site should give you enough stuff to learn real photography.

In case you want to look for more, here are additional links:

• Master your DSLR Camera (part 1, part 2)
• iDigitalPhoto blog
• Big list of photography resources online
  
• Tutorial videos about photography
  
• Photography articles via the Lifehacker blog
  

In case you want to take it to the next level, one of the best places to learn photography is the New York Institute of Photography.

If you need inspiration or ideas for your photo ops:

• Karl Grobl
• Jeremy Cowart
• World Press Photo
• Flickr Interestingness
• Or, pickup an issue of National Geographic

Also, it's nice to get a Flickr pro account. I noticed pictures uploaded on Flickr looks better than in Multiply. I think they do post-processing on the server side.

That's all i can find so far, we'll post more links later on. Happy learning -- don't forget to practice and experiment!
