Technical Photography Websites

Listed are a collection of the websites I frequent for technical information, aesthetic motivation and to purchase photographic equipment and expendables. I will update the list upon discovery of additional relevant and useful web sites.

I need a drone - everyone does! Well probably not really, however if you are interested in drones this blog is an absolute must. Check it out and learn what you need to know.

Precision Digital Negatives provides a wealth of information about how to fabricate digital negatives for contact printing with gelatin silver & other alternative photographic processes. The PDN System is designed to maximize the tonality and smoothness of your final prints.

Suppliers for hand-crafted photography films and papers. This is where I get my chemistry for platinum printing.

PMK Pyro Film Developing Chart
A film developing alternate to the traditional processes.

Pinhole Photography and Camera Design Calculations
The title says it all. Pinhole or lens-less photography is fun, but since lenses do exist I don't see the point with one exception, Edward Weston made a much smaller aperture for a lens he has in order to have the depth of field required for many of his well known shell photographs.

Lenswork Magazine
One of my favorite photography magazines. They have an online subscription.

Manufacture of the best ball heads available. Used in conjunction with their L shape camera brackets, you have the fastest and most sturdy way to support your camera and rotate to vertical rapidly.
