本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛I am a beginner and try to learn photogray. Here is some photography information I collected to share with those people in the same level like me.
1. where to start: 1). www.kenrockwell.com
start from reading through Ken Rockwell's excellent articles about cameras and photography , such as " Camera does not matter", " books to read", and "camera recommendations" and "where to buy cameras"
2). camera reviews:dpreview.com or google "<camera or lens model> review"
3) camera or lens sample photos: google "pbase <camera model or lens model" for example , "pbase canon 10-22" will bring you to the photos taken by canon 10-22mm ef-s lens. and then click refresh to random again
2. learning from photos: www.photo.net
most members are serious photographers
3. where to share:
1) photo.net ( join when your are or you believe you are in professional level )
2) pbase.com (join when you think you are a photographer)
3) smugmug.com (for everyone.i guess it really will become a big thing like flickr)
4) flickr or picasaweb for everyone
5) photoshopexpress.com ( i am not impressed with this web 2.0 photoshop elements online version, picasa do much better offline)
6) kodakgallery.ca ( bonus: you dont need to upload photos again if you want to print them, it is a futureshop photo service replacment, and you get 100 4x6 prints for free by accepting to transfer your futureshop account to kodak)
4. where you want to be: ( too many directions)
1) popular landscape photographer Marc Adamus

2) or absolute purity from a frenchman:

3)or to express your thoughtful thinking about our planet or life or death like this guy in Toronto

5.wher to buy in Canada, local shops in Canada to feel the cameras
1) vistek ( just opened a new one a couple months ago in Mississauga)
2) henry's
3) bestbuy(futureshop) or costco ( probably they only carry Canon xti or xt)
6 buy in USA
it is cheaper in USA just like cars.( just comare with amazon.com prices)
But dont buy it online, it is risky. I paid $168 duty for a 3.1MP Epson point and shoot camera in year 2000 unless policy changed since then.
