Favorite Photography Sites

[THXGEEK]

So, what are your favorite sources of photographic information and entertainment?

Very Obviously, our own Tim Mayo’s Alpha Shooters and RF Shooters top the list!

But being the hardware-agnostic heathen that I am (Sony, Canon, Nikon AND Fuji), I hang out at several other sites as well… So here’s my list…

Colby Brown Alpha A1II Setup Guide

Sony Alpha Blog

KenRockwell (very biased towards Canon, but LOTS of good reviews and other information!)

I don't really get having more than one body let alone more than one system! If you are regularly watching/looking at all that stuff, where do you get time to do anything else?

I'like to add Mark Galer who is on YouTube and Patreon. His how-to videos and e-books are gold.
Anything Leica, Matt Osborne has bought it and formed an opinion. His pictures are from yesterday's world. Leicalike.
Kai Man Wong has been around for a while. You might not like his biting sense of humor, but I do.
I am still grateful to Ken Rockwell who advised me when I was taking my first steps with DSLRs. All the best for him and his growing family!

Geeks do geeky things. I am glad you do.

I don't really get having just one body

I always have at least two, sometimes three. If I'm going into a studio to shoot, I don't want to risk having my only camera fail, and wasting the cost of the studio and other fees.

I also believe in being able to choose the body best suited to what I'm going to photograph - sometimes the A9 III, sometimes the A1 II.

BTW: when I saw the title of the thread I thought it was about places to take photos

I'll check those out, thank you!

I agree, Ken Rockwell has made a big impact on many photographers - did/do you know him personally? Lots of good, practical advice on his site. His shooting style is interesting - I enjoy his landscapes but find that many of his pictures are (to me) overly saturated. But who am I to criticize? He certainly is very successful, and I look forward to all of his posts & reviews.

Please don't tempt me on Leica. They're expensive as hell and I don't want to risk giving RichardA a seizure just because I have a near-terminal case of GAS.

For me, I love the variety and love the challenge of using them. And once I retire (less than three years to go!), I'll have even more time to play with them.

“Three-Body Problem” (the trilogy) was a different kind of reading experience.
Liu Cixin's imagination is limitless but disciplined. He is not like any Western writer, and why should he be?
Matt Osborne infected me with the Red Dot virus. Matt, besides being a fanatic, is a brilliant photographer.
Leicaphilia is mostly about the equipment. “Which vintage is your Summicron?” Or “Where do you get calibrated?”
I started to feel stupid trying to attain focus at F/1.4 using a rangefinder when a Sony hits a bird in the eye with 100% accuracy at 1/3 of the price.
A vintage Leica can look cool on the elderly. You can sometimes spot one on an aging movie maker.

One item crossed out from my bucket list.

No victory, no regrets.
