Go To Photography Websites for Down Time

[Mat0tam]

Afternoon All,
Ive just been having a quiet lunch browsing and wondered what Photography Sites people tend to visit?
I like the guide/tips sites more than equipment reviews and rumours … means I buy less stuff!

I check out DigitalPhotographyCameraWorld, FujiLove, AmateurPhotography and Photoraphyblog the most.

What are your go to sites if you have 30mins of chill time?

Ken Rockwell for some comedy.
Dpreview for camera reviews.
Photozone.de for lens reviews.
Here for genuine opinions and great photos.

Well... Err...

TalkPhotography of course

Takes me at least 30 minutes to get through the alerts before I get on to new stuff

Just TP for me. Occasionally look at a couple of 2nd hand dealers' websites to see if they have anything I need want but try very hard not to! Plenty of real life to be getting on with.

TalkPhotography's Film and Conventional Section... everywhere else on here is Work for me... Other Photography Sites ?? No, not really - far more interested in Bikes and so forth to be honest.

Beyond forums,photo social media and gear sites, I do like to sporadically check in to various photojournalism blogs such as:

Among more esoteric stuff

Beside some already mentioned, I do frequent Steve Huff as well.

And Flickr groups. Some very interesting gems out there but require a bit of a search.

Well the greater riches are to be found looking at others' photographs and reading about photographic culture - which can develop your consciousness far more than reading about equipment ...

Somewhat at random:

https://www.slrlounge.com/
https://www.reddit.com/r/photography/

[Mat0tam]

I think my favorites list just doubled in size. Some good looking sites suggested above.

 

[nigpd]

Anywhere but TP for me

Petapixel is a bit trivial, & very American in a 'wow, look at this' kind of way ...

 

[Ed Sutton]

Couple more

One of the blogs I like is Photos and Stuff, http://photothunk.blogspot.co.uk. I don't agree with everything he writes, but he does think about things quite hard and express his thoughts well. While I'm not a huge fan of Ming Thein, I don't like the way Molitor has a go at him so often, but the other stuff I really like. Feels like the sort of stuff @Pookeyhead might like...

Big fan of TOP, too...

Some good looking reads. I've noticed nobody mentioned Digital Revs 'Bokeh' site

 

[Eltheza]

I like:

http://digital-photography-school.com/
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/

Also: Mike Browne's YouTube tutorials.

These sites are very helpful to an "Intermediate Beginner"!
