Information Links

Here are some links that I have found useful. Do not take what is found at the other end of these links on face value. This of course goes for any published material, books included. Before taking information to heart one must verify by experience or by cross checking with other sources.

Technical Aspects

Clarkvision Shed loads of information a bit heavy at times
Luminous Landscape Very good presentation and wide spread of subjects
Cambridge In Color Technical stuff for the Layperson. Very good
Creative Photography This is an excellent free on-line book
Northlight Images There are all sorts of very good articles here
X-Rite Webinar Most all about practical colour balance
Norman Koren This guy is selling prints but his tutorials are excellent

History And

When the Day's Work is Done (Getty Museum) In 1877 several negatives created a single
contact printed image. (No enlargers then)

Equipment Reviews And Tests

Some care is needed here. There are opinions and tests. The main issue is interpreting the sample images and test results. The prevailing conditions and photographers capability affect the sample results. For the tests there is no assurance that the tests have been executed without error.

Camera lens tests The 3D interactive "sharpness" graphs are excellent
Canon & Nikon Lens Reviews The ISO 12233 charts allow direct interactive comparison.
dpreview A top site for both opinions on equipment and specs
