As with Digital Photography, we have concentrated on still photography, covering cameras to photo collections, tutorials to great photographers, online photo albums to magazines and journals.

Wherever possible, we have included material, tutorials and collections that are free of charge and easy to access. Most material is mainstream, but some falls into the special interest area. Choose those aspects you feel benefit or interest you.

As time permits, we would like to expand the start we have made on photographic history. After all, anything in existence for nearly two hundred years deserves to have its history told.

For information on Digital Photography, use this link, as it is now on a separate page.

Cameras

In the digital age, some manufacturers still produce 35mm and/or Point and Shoot cameras. Several are listed here.

Canon	Nikon
