Hey thanks for the great set of tips. So much interesting stuff here, makes me want to get into photography more.
Hey, great links. Thanks for the posting. I have only checked the first 8 and learned a lot already, each one leads to more useful information. Now that I want to check number 9 (8 Photography Myths Debunked - just what the title says :-)) the link is not working, I tried to google for the article but it appeared that the host site is not working. Does anyone have the full article or knows of a working link? Thanks a lot again.
