Photography links
March 18, 2007
I’ve started to correlate a bunch of useful and interesting photography-related sites on the web, they range from tutorial to photo-sharing sites:
Photography
http://www.geofflawrence.com/
- A very good free photography tutorial site
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Photography
- One of my favourite sites, Wikipedia’s Photography Portal. Lots of useful articles here
Photo & photo-sharing
http://www.flickr.com/
- The best photo sharing web site there is. I have my photos here at and there are lots of things to look for. I would start on the Explore page here.
http://outstandingshots.blogspot.com/
- Outstanding Shots is a selection of hand-picked photos from Flickr.
http://flickrhits.wordpress.com/
- Flickr Hits is similar to the above but not as frequently updated.
http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/scout.php?mode=top
– Top Explore photos for each day.
Toolshttp://bighugelabs.com/flickr/
- Flickr Toys, this is where I got my profile widget from (http://bighugelabs.com/flickr/profile.php). Also, check out Scout to see if any of your photos have made it onto Explore.
http://www.shirazlabs.com/wickr/
- A fantastic Yahoo! ‘widget’. I’ve set it up to scroll Explore photos as a sidebar but there are many options. Note you’ll need the Yahoo! Widget Engine from here. Very cool.
Mags and rags
http://www.dcmag.co.uk/
- Digital Camera Magazine is my favourite photography mag, it mainly focuses on photography technique rather than technical stuff and camera. There was also Focus Guides, which were monthly special covering topics such as Close-ups and Composition. Sadly they appear to be stopped producing them.
http://www.independent.co.uk/
- One of the newspapers in the UK, The Independent seems to be one that takes photography seriously. Since I’ve been reading it it’s had special supplements for photography and art plus several articles on the photography. It’s also a very good read IMHO.
http://www.timeout.com/
- A cool weekly events listings mag for London, includes music and movie reviews, articles, what’s on and what to do. It also has the odd photography-related article.
Web development
http://www.pixelpost.org/
- Pixelpost is the script I’ve used to created my photo blog at http://www.squashyfrog.com/. A very useful photoblog script that you can tailor to your needs and use any of the hundreds of available themes (or be clever and make your own theme).
http://www.s9y.org/
- A web blog system. Basically I used Serendipity to create this blog. I went through lots of similar scripts/services and this was by far the easiest to set-up and use.
Other
http://www.camerapedia.org
– A wiki for cameras basically
