Do any of you guys have interesting photography sites or photography related sites (free photography courses for instance) you want to share with us ?
If you do, please post the links in this thread.
Thanks,
Ivanhoe.

I might post some less egocentric links when I am home.

By far and away my favourite photographer and a master of the use of light, Senor Eolo Perfido:

Hey Ivanhoe, if you're into photography, why don't you take part in the photography competition?

Aurora pictures by Jan Curtis, one of my favourite aurora photographer: http://climate.gi.alaska.edu/Curtis/curtis.html
I think he also has tips about aurora photography somewhere on that page.
Pekka Parviainen has a brilliant site mostly with pictures of atmospheric light phenomena: http://www.polarimage.fi/
We have a very good photographer here in Bodø, Bjørn Erik Olsen. He has won some prizes for his sea-eagle pictures. He doesn't seem to have a homepage, but he works for the local newspaper, so you can see some of his pictures here: http://www.an.no/galleri_nordland/article1934177.ece (some of the pictures are by other photographers). And here is one of his sea-eagle pictures: http://www.bodoe.com/n/v2/pic.htm?picID=100

I'm not a big fan of portraits.
A lot of the photographer's portraits are done in a photojournalistic manner, in which I like the truth in the scene. When I'm looking at models for portraits, it just feels like I'm just looking at a catalogue. Whereas when the photos are of real life people in real life situations, I can empathise with the people and their surroundings, and mentally place myself in the scene.
I find photojournalistic shots to be amongst the most interesting to me.
I go to my dentist every time about 20 minutes before the appointment, because he has a great Pulitzer Prize book, which I love flicking through.
[Edit]I did't get too much enjoyment out of his specific "Portraits" section.

The 'week in pictures' and 'week in sports pictures' (amongst the other links) here sometimes throw up some gems... check out the overhead shot of the bobsleigh (shot 3 of the current WISP), or the bear (shot 16 on the current WIP) - the latter being both very cute and incredibly sad at the same time.

I really, really like the work of Belgian photographer Stephan Vanfleteren. His potraits are stunning, but even if you don't like portraiture, check out his portfolio for his reportages.
