Just a few handy resources that will either make for a good read or useful info in the world of photography

PetaPixel are an interesting site who run competitions and host a blog that has some interesting stuff on it like this recent article on a possible open-source camera!
Photography.com has some interesting articles on technique and lighting and a history of past & present famous photographers.
PhotographyBlog.com always have the latest info on up coming gear with previews and reviews on just about everything going.
Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir has got to be my favourite photographer of all time. She even knits and sells her own jumpers.

Last but not least I can’t help but plug something I wrote the other day about Full Frame Vs. APS-C. I tried not to get into too much detail because I could go on and on and on and on…you get the point

Out and About in Aberystwyth

Aber is an incredibly diverse place. Whether it’s because of it’s location in Wales, beautiful countryside, historic buildings or an influx of Students from who knows where….who cares? It’s a great place! From the longest cliff railway in Britain to the National Library of Wales there’s ample opportunity for photographs. Landscapes, portraits, seascapes, sky trails, macro and architecture it’s ALL here! If you want evidence, check out the shots below

Well… In that things are actually almost happening. We’ve got a new blog theme (awww, so pretty!) and a vague logo type thing that was a result of a late night perusal of www.dafont.com and finding fonts that I thought looked cool. I’ve also put my own website under some modifications, it seemed about time to make it properly my own. So now that has a new logo – also with a font from dafont.com *sigh* I love that site. More importantly talks (and more) are under way for us finally getting somewhere with the actual AberPhoto website. The lovely Alex Pardoe has agreed to do some work on it so that’s great too – yay!

In other news – I got a Canon 30D, I may well be in love with it.

That’s all for now folks!

Croeso, Welcome!
