equipment and photography?

* would help when asking about best places to buy stuff.

There's a lot of people on uk.rec.walking into photography. It seems to get discussed regularly.

As Zog said the uk.rec.photo.misc would be you best bet for this country as a newsgroup. Otherwise
the rec.photo.*** groups are more specific if more american biased.

I use digital myself so the forums I frequent wouldn't be as relevant.

One site I would recommend for any photographer is:

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/

Cameras get discussed on URC quite often too :)

Mostly there's one exceptionally prolific individual who goes on ad nauseam (anorak is far too mild
a term). Don't encourage him more than necessary
- he doesn't need it.

Even if the guy who writes it is mainly out to demonstrate what he can do with digital kit you
couldn't even dream of buying?

Try www.dpreview.com. Even interesting if you're not digital.
