More of My Favorite Photo Tutorial and Photo DIY Resources

 
These are several of my favorite photo tutorial  and instructional sites.  The list was longer a year ago when I first made it, but several of the sites no longer exist.  The dead links have been removed.  It should also be noted that some of these sites are sponsored by camera shops or equipment manufactures, and as such, may contain a sales pitch.  While I'm not endorsing any of the products, I do fully endorse their tutorials, otherwise they would not have made my list.

I May Be TOO Detail Oriented for Blogging

Just realized I haven't posted to this blog in almost a year.  When I left off, I was preparing a set of links to my favorite resources.  It started as a very simple project, then it got a little out of hand.  It turned into a meta tag scanned database of links to individual tutorials on a dozen different sites; THOUSANDS of articles, all searchable.  If you ever did that type of project, you probably know how the fine tuning and debugging can go on forever.  It was never quite ready.  So I'm going to find my original set of links and post them.  If I ever win the lottery and have all the free time in the world, I'll get back to my database.
