This section contains a book list and links to some of the best photography related web sites that I have frequented at one time or another

Web Communities Devoted to Photography
Digital Photography Review - This is the most popular photography website in the world. They have detailed camera reviews and some very lively discussion forums. Want to know what equiptment to buy follow the forums
Fred Miranda - This site is where the pros hang out.
The Strobist - Deals with photojournalism with an emphasis on location lighting. I belong to San Diego Strobist.
Rob Galbraith Digital Photography Insights - Lots of good information here. This site is frequented by professional photographers.
Equipment Review Sites
Digital Photography Review (Camera Reviews) - Arguably the most comprehensive camera reviews on the web.
Digital Photography Review (Lens Reviews) - Thorough testing with a comparison tool.
Photo Zone Reviews - A large selections of quality lens reviews.
SLR Gear Reviews - Comprehensive reviews of a large selection of lenses and accessories.
Photodo - Professional lens reviews blended with user reviews.
ePhotoZine - This is a UK publication with lots of good information.
Tutorials and Lessons
The Strobist, Lighting 101 - The complete guide for using portable flashes for location lighting.
Monte Zucker (RIP)- Monte was one of the best. Fortunately for us, Monte has left behind some excellent material covering what he learned about portraiture over his many years of practice. Peruse this site if for no other reason than to see the craftsmanship of a master photographer.
The Zeltsman Approach to Traditional Classic Portraiture - Joe Zeltsman is a first rate photographer making traditional classic portraiture. His system may seem outdated to some, but not to me.
Chuck Gardner's photography and lighting tutorials - Chuck has created some excellent tutorials that explain the theory behind lighting. He can be found on dpreview.com from time to time, though I think he hangs out at fredmiranda.com these days.
Cambridge in Colour - Lots of good tutorials here for novice to advanced.
Shanzcan - There are some good Photoshop tutorials at this unique site.
lynda.com - lynda.com has world acclaim for their tutorials. This is a paid service that I have not personally used.
