Great Website for Learning

[Thorpeland]

Photographers of all levels should bookmark Ken Rockwell's website. He writes about everything from How-To's, to equipment reviews. While some stuff you'll disagree with, there is something to learn for everyone. Its not a quick read. If you printed it all out, it would probably look like a short novel. But you will find information that many places charge money to teach. Its a great resource and its opened my eyes to many photography tips. For people just getting into photography, his website is priceless and can get you up to speed and really help with understanding many of the basics.

I have been reading Ken's site for a couple years now. He does have some great info. He is a little opinionated but then again thats what makes some of his articles so great.

I highly recommend his site to people who are new to photography!

Show me a photographer who isn't opinionated. LOL But true, Ken's website is a wealth of learning material about even the basics of camera operation and photography.

Exactly :) Ken is a great photography, my only gripe with him is he supersaturates his photos sometimes. Past that, his articles really taught me alot!

Some of Ken Rockwell's info is insightful and helpful. Some of it is completely fabricated (he freely admits to reviewing cameras he's never used).

Take it all with a grain of salt, just like everything else on the Interwebs.
