Within many threads on this forum are so many helpful links that people have posted. After reading the attached (https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-photography-knowledge-base/23232-l...echniques.html) I thought it might be a good idea to compile a list of YOUR favorite links all in this one place!

I'll check out yours if you check out mine

Mine have a lot to do with DSLR fundamentals, because that's what I've been focusing on since Oct. Here we go!

The syllabus for a University of Missouri - St. Louis Photography Course - lots of great camera and photography history and fundamental background, composition, light and post-processing. I don't know how long this will stay up - the course is currently in session a/o April, 2008 - so read it now (I'd say print it but it is clearly copyrighted).

My fav:
A series of really neat articles on composition, including the Golden Ratio (nautilus shell and the Fibonacci series - I am a statistical analyst in securities markets and math is geeky cool), a landscape composition article for painters and a composition tester.
Photography Composition Articles: Golden Ratio, Rule of Thirds, Golden Mean, Golden Section.
