Thumbs up Useful General Photography Education Sites
This idea started here, before Tom and I got silly. Tom actually had a good idea, and I'd like this thread to work like this:

If you see a site, post, thread, article, etc. that pertains to general photography, please label it as "Beginner", "Advanced", or "Master" and post the link. Let's see if we can build an index of gems over here, like we have in the editing forum.

This submission by Rense (thanks!): Bernie's Better Beginner's Guide to Photography

I'm going to go out on a limb, and label it Beginner to Advanced.

Okay, I now have read the entire article (and sidebars) and think it is outstanding. His explanations are brief and concise and the photos certainly portray the "1000 words" concept, e.g., the split image on Noise Ninja. I think he has a particular knack for reducing even complex concepts down to a readily understandable level. Should be required reading for anyone with a camera
