85 Great Photography Blogs, Galleries and Sites You Can't Afford to Miss

Thu, 2007-12-13 00:13 — udijw

WOW! I love DIYP readers! A week ago I asked DIYP readers to introduce yourselves by sharing your photography with the rest of DIYP readers. A total of 85 (that's almost triple my age) photographers and bloggers accepted the challenge and stepped up to share their blog, gallery, site or flickr stream.

I was happy to get familiar with 85 photography sites, blogs and galleries. During the course of the week, I have paid a visit to each of the sites and blogs, learning a bit about each of you. My RSS reader is now fully loaded with tons of new feeds.

The images found on the sites listed below took my breath more then once. I also found it very hard on many occasions to tell amateurs from pros. Man there are some darn fine amateurs out there. Below you will find a list of all the great places I visited and all the great people who makes DIYP so special.

If you are on this list, take a few minutes to visit one of the other sites. It is a great opportunity to exchange ideas, meet someone new and take advantage of the blogging medium.

Great Photography Blogs

Under this category, I listed DIYP reader's blogs that are all about photography. The blogs feature photos, how-to's, photography thoughts and more.

Great Galleries

Here you will find photographer that don't talk :)

Great list !!!

Although I know most of the photography blogs already I find the rest and the galleries very interesting.

I thank you for the effort you took in building this list thumbs up

Thu, 2007-12-13 01:04 — udijw

Thanks Antoine

I'm glad to have collected all those sites and galleries. I was trying to go ahead with the writing of the list, but was "continuously interrupted" by pausing for periods of time and "drowning" in the galleries (my favorite section).

Make it easier for my lazy ...

Hi...

Great list... Any chance you feel like exporting the OPML so that I can just import all at once :-)

Fri, 2007-12-14 16:27 — udijw

Hi James, I'm almost ashamed to ask

What is OPML?

photoblogs

sorry to be the negative nancy, but a lot of these "image blogs" are quite crap. also the term is "photoblog"

Thu, 2007-12-13 23:34 — udijw

Thanks man,

I updated the title.

In my mind the espiring photographer of today is the new discovery of tomorrow, we can all learn from constractive critisizm.

Thanks for putting me on the list! I've discovered a bunch of new sites, too.

Missed the boat

I missed the boat on this one, but here is another reader with a gallery. I do have a blog, but it's more of a personal one than photography related.

Please remove this if it is in bad taste to post here.
http://gallery.cylerparent.com

I can't remember how I discovered this site, but I have found it very interesting, and have bookmarked a lot of the links. Keep up the great work!

Great Listing

Wow thats a seriously good list of sites! I'm only partially the way through it and its taken me hours at this point - not that i'm complaining - there are some seriously good photographers on that list! So a global kudos to everyone on the list, awesome work!

Thu, 2007-12-13 19:43 — Chris (not verified)

Thanks mate

Antoine

This is wonderful. I'm back in the 90's when it comes to searching for stuff on the net. I've looked for this kind of stuff and found it in drips and draps, and then go ahead and lost it.

I think this list is going to keep me busy for a long, long time. I'm forwarding this list to all me photography buddies.

Cheers

Chris

You guys made me famous !!!

I was checking the analytics report of my site today and was shocked to see ~85 new visitors yesterday. At first, I thought it must be some mistake, until I saw the post on DIY site.

I am very happy and proud that my blog is referred here. I am impressed at the collective talent that is present here. I am planning to visit each of the sites featured and learn good things from there and will keep sharing what I learn on the way.

Regards,
Aakash

Thanks Udi!

As the above post says, I too thought I had errors... I noticed a bunch of anonymous users and was like what's this and remembered replying to your other thread... So I checked my RSS feeds and saw your new post and was like SWEET!

Our forum has grown since you released this post yesterday and we also hit a new record yesterday.. .lol

The most members online in one day was 16, 12-13-2007.

We truly are "a forum in the growing", but we are here to stay and hope to see more of you join the family!

Thanks again,
Tracey

Thank you for including me on your list of photoblogs. What an honor! That must be where all the new traffic is coming from! :-)

Keep up the good work, love the site.

Thank you for the link!

Thank you for putting me on your list, and no thanks for putting this list together. Now I have to figure out how to add a few hours in the day to check all of them out ;-)

Thanks,

Strobist.com

I can't believe that you left out Strobist.com. If you want to know how to use flash off camera, or even just pick up some general lighting tips that apply to naturally lit subjects you have to check it out.

Wed, 2008-01-02 10:31 — udijw

But of course, Brian

Strobist has a warm place in my heart. It is a great place and I learn allot from him. Look at this post for my feeling toward David.

Inspiration

This post has inspired me to finally get my butt in gear and get an official photoblog, I am still going through these links, slowly but surely! :)

Wed, 2008-01-09 19:19 — Adam Dexter (not verified)

Thanks!

Hey, wow, so I've been really busy- this post must have past me right by. I just wanted to say thanks for all the work listing all our sites and blogs.

I had an idea that all of us photobloggers should blogroll each other, to create a better community and increase all of our visibility- anyone down?

Also, if anyone else is curious, my flickr account is here (flickr).
and I have a web gallery/portfolio separated into bw and color here (adp)

Thanks again DIY.

For the great info! I found some great galleries here, I"ll be adding this link to my list of useful photo resources

Great site and blog

Hello,
I stumbled on this site while surfing on the net. It is a great site and great listings!

I've been taking photos for a while and finally decided to create a webpage to display my work. Not a professional here; just love photography.

I hope I can post this here please remove it if it is in bad taste or add my link if you like the photographs.

Thank you and keep up the great work

Google Reader shared list

This is a great set of links to photography sites - however the format makes it difficult to read all at once - you should include all of these in google's reader as a public shared list then everyone can subscribe to them that way!!!

I am in the process of doing this but it'll take a little while.
