Where else besides TPF - 07-25-2007, 10:18 AM


I've really benefited from TPF and the folks here. My usual day starts with "New Posts" and then "Live" view. But after a while I'm just starring at the screen wondering where to go next. I will of course, come back to "live" often during the day. I know, "get a life." So my question is, what other photography related sites (Forums, blogs, etc.) do you have to check almost every day? This is in no way a knock on TPF because I'm looking for sites that come up to or close to the level of quality provided by Abel and others.

I'm not trying to replace any "resource" threads. I just want sites that would cause you to feel like you're missing something if you didn't frequent them. Basically, I'm looking for other sites to waste time with...er...enhance my photography.

I'll start off with a couple of the others I visit almost daily.

mpix forums are sorta ok......I mean, if you like almost all portraiture and some really inane whines and a even few good honest questions, it's a great place....but being tied to a printhouse it can be a bit limited at times.

The best thing about the Mpix forums is that it led me here.....

Well, I guess TPF is the only English website (not just one relates to photography) that I check everyday.
