Digital Photography: Resources

My Digital Photography class, which cost $65 for three classes and a field trip, was taken through the Las Cruces Museum of Art. Putting together this series, What I Learned in My Digital Photography Class, on my blog has really helped me to organize and better understand the mass of information that overwhelmed me during the all-too-brief meetings with our very brilliant and talented instructor.

As I worked my way through the details, I came across quite a few resources that I would like to share with you. Some were mentioned previously; and some are to give you ideas and information far beyond anything I could tell you!

Basic Digital Photography.com--"Your Personal Guide to Digital Photography"--equipment reviews, tutorials on shooting, editing, organizing your photos.

DigitalCameraInfo.com--Camera reviews and ratings, by brand and by type.

Lensmodern--Online photographic handling agency, beautiful images.

PBase--Browse images and galleries, see photograph and camera information. If you are considering a particular camera, see what kinds of photos people are taking with that model.

Photo Editing Software--All are programs available online--basic versions of all but iPhoto and Photoshop are free.
GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program

Photofocus, a blog by Scott Bourne (recommended in one of the comments on this blog by The Fabulous Penguin). It's full of useful tips and lessons.

Photo.net--images, critiques, discussions, and tutorials.

Pioneer Woman Photography--Tutorials from Ree Drummond, with clear, easy-to-understand explanations and lots of excellent photograph examples. Ree runs contests every once in a while and the entries are really something to see! Great prizes, too.

I've really enjoyed your class summaries. Here are two more resources:

Among all the other information on his site, I particularly appreciate the camera manuals he has written. The one he wrote for my camera makes way more sense than the manufacturer's...and the type is large enough to read!
