Here’s a random selection of some of my favourite photography blogs, tutorials and news sites. It’s an eclectic mix, though to be honest I hadn’t been back to a lot of them for quite a while until I started preparing this post… now I’m itching to spend an afternoon poking around.
Lots here so please enjoy…if you do visit any of these, please take a moment to give them a thumbs-up, or down, to give the other Members an idea of their quality/value. (And if you have any suggestions, post them in the comments section and we’ll look at adding them!)

8. Zack Arias • Blog
17 | 0 | 0 |
Zack Arias uses his blog as both a place where he’ll post very useful resources/guides/tutorials as well as place simply to share his recent work. There’s a real ‘personal’ flavour to a lot of his posts, but if you want to focus on educational materials, there’s plenty there to be found.
9. Photo Resource Hub – Skip Cohen University

This one has had a few name changes in recent years, but keeps getting better with each incarnation. It’s a major content hub for photographers with a lot of very high quality educational material. It can be a bit confusing at first, but once you work out where to find the content that interests you most, you’ll be back often.

16 | 0 | 1 |
Black Star Rising was one of the original photo agencies, and was very much committed to mentoring and educating their photographers. Right now this site hasn’t been updated for quite a while, but there’s still a lot of good information there, so take a look before it disappears forever…

The web’s most comprehensive site devoted to the art of landscape and nature photography using traditional as well as digital image processing techniques.
