Please feel free to let me know of any suggestions to add to the list. I was trying to ensure I had my links on my laptop and desktops and I thought sharing them online here would be a great way.
http://photo.net – Most people already know of this, the gallery is wonderful for inspiration, the forums are a mixed bag.
http://www.dpreview.com – A solid review site. I believe it was purchased by a large company a while back and also a few ‘big name’ reviewers came in who seem to write quite flattering reviews. Not that I would be suggesting it is in their interests to do so. For me the samples pages of the reviews are the best. Real world, full size sample pictures to check out the quality of cameras. They also have an extensive archive of camera reviews.
http://www.artplus.hr/adapps/eng/dpr.htm – A great free image recovery application. It’s helped me out of a tight spot before when I had wiped cards after copying them to a portable drive which then died.
http://martinimages.photium.com – A small friendly site, most definately the place to go if you want to learn about converting digital images to black and white. The forum is excellent and there is a tutorial CD by the master of contrast grading which is well worth the modest charge.
http://www.luminous-landscape.com – A serious photography site, some great articles written by people who actually make their living shooting images not writing reviews.
http://www.thelightsrightstudio.com/digital-darkroom.htm - General photo resource site.
http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/ - Great software for correcting lens distortion.
http://www.photo-freeware.net/topdownloads.php - List of photographic software to download.
http://takeoutphoto.blogspot.com/2009/01/split-grading-in-photoshop-and-elements.html - Tutorial on basic contrast grading. Also a decent blog.
More later.
