Collection of Useful Posts

[Andrew Barclay]

I realize that the best way to get better with photography is to take pictures.  That being said I do like reading and researching things.  I decided that, instead of re-asking questions, I would go through old posts and look for useful information.  I ended up collecting a lot of posts.  I then attempted to put some structure around them for personal reasons, and realized that this could be a good resource for other “learners” (a term I personally prefer to noob).  I realize that there is a lot here, and that some of it is Nikon focused (I own a Nikon).  I didn’t put labels on it all, and some of it might only have appeared useful from the thread topic and first few posts.  I haven’t gone in to re-read a lot of these b/c that will take me some time, but I plan to over the next few days.  Hope this list useful for some of you, and feel free to chip in with posts that are missing which you also found useful.  I realize there are a lot of topics only touched upon or uncovered here.  I would also suggest going through the archives yourself.  It’s really interesting to watch the evolution of some topics/conversations.
