Rob's Photo Links

I currently don't have any pictures that I have taken here, but I have collected various links to information that might help you take better pictures. You will find them on this page. Happy shooting!

Obviously, as well, I haven't had a lot of time to design this page, so right now it is a little haphazard. Sorry for the mess.

I have collected various photo-supply links in addition to the information that you will find linked off of this page. If you just want official documentation about the Canon EOS line, you can get that directly from Canon's Customer Care on the web.

Information

There is a lot of good information in Phillip Greenspun's Photo.Net pages.

Instructional

If you want to see what the difference is between the various different focal lengths, you might want to see the Tamron Focal Range Guide or the Canon Guide to Focal Length from the Kodak Online Guide to Better Pictures.

USENET Newsgroups

If you have access to USENET newsgroups like rec.photo.technique.misc, then you might want to take a look at some of these links before posting to these groups:

Photo Tips and Tricks

You might want to take a look at the Unusual Photo Tips & Tricks page provided by PhotoSharp.

Filters

If you have heard about filters, and want to find out more, 2Filter has some information that you might find useful.

Amateur Wedding Photography

If you are interested in wedding photography, for a friend or relative, or are just interested in learning more about it, you might want to check out the Amateur Wedding Photography FAQ if you have trouble reaching that site, you might want to try this one..

Photojournalism Organizations

If you are interested in photojournalism, you might want to check with The National Press Photographers Association or, if you are in Minnesota, The Minnesota News Photographers Association.

Wildlife/Nature Photography

I seem to have also picked up a number of links to wildlife/nature photography sites, here are some of them:

Infrared and Photography

Have you ever thought of infrared as a way of expanding your photographic horizons? WJ's Infrared & Photography Homepage goes into exactly these subjects. Willem-Jan does the EOS on-line community a great favor by hosting the on-line EOS mailing list.
Bill Casselberry also has information about IR photography off of his Photography on the Oregon Coast page.

Closeup Photography

Close-up is something that I have looked into getting into, but have not, as yet. You can find more information about close-up at a close-up page off of the main photo.net page listed above.

Various Other things

There are a number of other things, like The unofficial Asahi Pentax Spotmatic Home Page out on the net which may or may not be helpful to you. There are some photo links that might be useful to you off of a page by Bill Rainey. Or, you might try the PhotoZone.

If you are looking to test the resolution of your lens or film, you might want to use this Resolution Test File.

Made for Picture images :-)

The Timberline Sky Cam is interesting in that it shows how even automatically taken pictures can be interesting and have 'nice' images when of the right subject(s).

People

Among the ranks of those of us with 'other jobs' not in the photography business (that's probably most of us with cameras) are a lot of people taking great pictures. Check out TKO Photography for an example of one person's images.

Professionals

Then, there are a number of people whose business it is to provide the world with the wonderful images that we see all around us. Dell Elzey is someone who provides wonderful images, in this case in Black and White.

Canon Specifics

Are you looking for Camera Information? Try some of these (mostly Canon) resources:

Canon Cameras

If you are just looking for information about a Canon camera, you might try the Canon Camera Museum. If you can't decide whether to buy the Elan or the Rebel, see what someone else has written on the subject. Wondering how to set up your new EOS 1N, check the control function settings of some Canon EOS 1N users. The Canon EOS Feature Page compares all of the Canon Cameras.

Canon Lenses

If it is Canon Lenses that you are looking for information on, you might take a gander at Canon Lens Specifications, the Canon EOS Lens Mini-FAQ or EOS Lens Comparisons or the EOS Lens Reviews. Some helpful Netizen (I am not sure if that is supposed to be citizen of the net, or denizen. 8^) has posted some Tests of the Canon 28-105 IS.
