I thought it'd be nice to have a place to share photo tips and resources we find as we crawl around the web.
To start things off:
1) http://www.camerahobby.com/WeddingTOC.htm
2) http://www.shortcourses.com/index.htm
Specifically:
2b) http://www.shortcourses.com/using/index.htm
2c) http://www.shortcourses.com/equipment/index.htm
What have you found?

I found to link to this nifty site at the TRUE BLUE DINKY-DI AUSSIE DIGITAL CAMERA FORUM:
http://www.photonhead.com/simcam
It's basically a camera simulator to explain the basic relationship between aperture and shutter speed, etc...

Found another one:
http://webphotoschool.com/Lesson_Library/Free_Lessons/
These are the free ones... presumably more advanced lessons are for sale...
EDIT: I suppose I should mention that the 'web photo school' site is apparently owned by Photoflex, a lighting manufacturer...

Quite a few freebies on www.photographytips.com otherwise www.outdooreyes.com has some good techniques as well as a decent section on digital editing.

A treasure I agree!
I don't think I will be doing much else than check the links and read for a while...
Thanks Cailean, if I become a famous photographer one day I will tell the world you put me on the right track with this thread.

Here's the best article I've ever read.
Article written by Brooks Jensen, editor of LensWork magazine:

The link should be good, but the forum has an "account suspended" message put up by their host. Not a positive sign.
For a very short time -- it's in the the May-June issue -- this article can be downloaded as a free PDF in the "current issue" #58. Go to http://www.lenswork.com/overviewcurrentissue.htm and follow the "Download a PDF preview of this issue" link.
It's worth the download if you can spare the 1,134k -- but I don't think this issue, #58, will be current for much longer.

The original link is working again, but the PDF is nice to have anyway.
One of my favourite points:
19.) Don't photograph what is "photographable." Photograph what interests you, even if it is impossible to photograph. It is almost impossible to make a great photograph of something that doesn't interest you. [...] There are no boring subjects in the entire universe - there are plenty of boring photographs made by bored photographers. Become passionate about something and that passion will, with time and dedication, manifest itself in your images.

Cool stuff!
Here's a link to the "Ultimate Exposure Computer" page. It contains a table of typical lighting conditions and you can lookup what aperture/shutter/ISO combinations would be needed. Very useful for planning.

If you want to understand why a polarizer needs to be turned a certain way, or the differences between different polarizers (linear vs. circular), look here:
http://dpfwiw.com/polarizer.htm
A variety of unique, deep and interesting resources from an amazing artistic photographer:

Signing up for his mailing list gets you more.

I found an interesting site today â although they are really proud of their Facebook page, the articles tend to be snappy.
