Photography+Blogs

Overview
Photography blogs are a great way for photographers to get information about photography. They are also a great way for photographers to communicate with each other and share ideas and techniques. Many photography blog sites include tips on how to be a good photographer. These sites can be run by people who simply want their images to be seen by others, photojournalists, news sites, etc. While it depends on the site and focus of the site, each post will typically include a specific tip, aspect of photography, photo, or other such information. These posts will also usually allow people to comment so they can give their opinion about the subject. Five currently great photography blogs are: Photography Blog, Lens, The Big Picture, Strobist, and photoassignment.net. All of these blogs give very useful information about photography. Photography Blog is a site dedicated to digital photography. This site has all sorts of information about digital photography, from buying cameras to news about photography. It is a great blog because it has tons of information in one place. The blog has four contributors who post to the site almost every day with useful information about photography. Lens and The Big Picture are both news blogs, meaning their blogs include images that are focused on current events. Lens is a blog that works with The New York Times, and features pictures taken by journalists. This blog is great for those who love photography because it displays big, detailed pictures of events all around the world. The pictures are very informative and interesting to look through. The Big Picture is a blog by picture editors from The Boston Globe. Similarly to The New York Times’ blog, it displays images of events happening from all over. This is another great site for photographers because it shows the photojournalism side of photography, as well as giving brief information about what is happening in the photo. Strobist is a photography site that focuses on the lighting aspect of photography. It describes how to use different flashes and create different effects in the photos. While it does not cover all parts of photography, it does do a great job of covering the topic of lighting. For photographers looking to improve their skills this is a great site to visit. Finally, photoassignment.net is a blog that looks to help photographers. This blog is different from the others because it does not include tips, or tutorials, or news about photography. This blog is instead devoted to helping photographers improve their skills by giving them different assignments. Participants can then submit their photos to the blog. Their assignments focus on all different parts of photography from objects to portraits. This is definitely a great blog for those looking to practice different photography techniques. Photography blogs can be very helpful to aspiring photographers. They can also be interesting to people who are just interested in photography for fun, and like to look at amazing pictures from all over the world.
