Photography–related links

Pursue photography for some time and one is bound to have a selection of favourite photography–related links. Most of the links we have can be divided into two categories: temporary links and links to Web sites that we visit on a more or less regular basis. The former normally address any one–time issues, e.g. mastering a new technique, resolving a problem, or researching a piece of equipment. The latter lead to resources presenting enough artistic and/or informational value to turn to at different times. The links below belong to the second category and are updated appropriately.

  • Digital Photography Review

    News on and in–depth reviews of digital photography equipment.

  • Photo.net

    Reviews, opinions, recommendations, and so on and so forth. The main value of the site lies in its forums, though, where you can find in–depth information on pretty much any topic or piece of gear.

  • Medium Format Library Page

    The medium format users hang out place. Also offers a lot of information on general photographic issues.

  • The Luminous Landscape

    One of the most useful—albeit often controversial—photography–related resources on the Web. Updated on an almost daily basis, this resource will keep you busy reading for quite some time. Quite honestly, though, most of Michael's photographs do not speak to me and I find them somewhat mediocre. Very good business acumen, though.

  • LensWork Magazine

    This is one of the rare resources on the Internet that concentrates on the creative process and understanding of photography beyond craft. I recommend subscribing to Brooks' podcasts (free) and, if finances allow, the magazine. Also, check out the LensWork Technology Blog.

  • NikonLinks.com

    This Web site puts together links to everything Nikon. This is the place to go if you need to find reviews or general information on Nikon gear. I am the editor of its Russian and Chinese language Pages.

  • Rob Galbraith

    Digital photography news and occasional reviews (supposedly for professional photographers).

  • ByThom.com

    A wealth of information on Nikon equipment and, to a lesser extent, general photographic issues.

  • The Online Photographer

    After a few years of Luminous Landscape dedication Mike Johnston apparently decided to fly solo and established this photography blog. Mike's power is, primarily, in his linguistic gift and the blog is dedicated to photo criticism and general essays about photography.

  • KenRockwell.com

    Although Ken's writing style might be a bit too presumptuous at times and I wish he could pay more attention to the site's design, he generally gives an experienced, honest and trustworthy opinion on things photographic; his incredible sense of humour is another thing that many photography–related Web sites lack.

  • CameraHobby.com

    Superb writing that provides a lot of useful information on general photography and Nikon equipment from an interesting perspective and, quite often, in an entertaining way.

  • The Photon Fantastic

    Contemplative and thought provoking writing on things photographic from another Vancouver based photographer.

  • ImagePower.de

    A German professional photographer, Michael Weber, appears really passionate about photography. Excellent photographs; his Nikon equipment reviews are concise and to the point.

  • Bjorn Rorslett

    Another pro—this time from Norway—who really likes his job and shoots with Nikon. Apparently not satisfied with just beautiful images, he has been stretching photographic limits into what I would call conceptual photography. I reckon Bjorn really likes Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey", especially the part towards the end where Dave plunges into the infinite.
