Do You Want to Understand Your Frustrating Camera and Take Great Photos Today?
Because of the time in which we live, we’re fortunate enough to be able to take advantage of new camera technology at a much lower cost that ever before, and with that comes a whole new range of photographers.

I’ve done gear, i’ve done books, i’ve done websites – this post is all about photographers who take time out of the busy schedule to blog in order to help other people learn. Finding the most influential photographer bloggers is no easy task, there’s no real scale to measure influence, it’s all about the most popular blogs and most talented photographers and I think i’ve just about done it.
