Photography links and associations
With my recently renewed passion into photography, I have been doing some poking around the net looking for more repositories of information and societies/etc that I can join to help me in my ultimate quest to become a better nature photographer. The few interesting ones I have found are listed below, mostly for my benefit, but also looking for comments on them.
- Moose Peterson has teamed up with The Picture Perfect School of Photography to teach 3 seperate correspondence courses in wildlife photography from the basics to the business of nature photoraphy. The downfall right now, the price. $395 for each course.
- Nature Photographers Online Magazine. The online magazine is free, but they also offer memberhip in the Nature Photographers Network for $39/year giving various benefits.
- Nikonians - an online community for Nikon shooters with a podcast. I found this while searching for a photography podcast. They are a free society, but also offer a members only section which includes access to classifieds, photo contests, a gallery, and a press pass at the gold and platinum level.
- Outdoor Photographer Magazine. I had in the past subscribed to this magazine, and loved it, but stopped the subscription due to a lack of funds at the time. Their website offers a number of the articles that are in print, but the print magazine is the best way to go.
- Moose Peterson's website. This is still my reference point for equipment reviews and other information about the world of nature photography. I would love to attend one of his DLWS workshops, but that won't happen for a long time yet.
