Miranda's digital photography site, includes forums on many
subjects.
Pekka
Saarinen's site is specific to Canon digital and also has
popular message boards.
Rob
Galbraith's website is aimed at professional digital photographers
but does have useful tips and helpful users in the message boards.
DPReview.com
has many useful articles on digital photography and a flourishing
set of message fora. Signal/noise ratio can be somewhat low
though, especially just before trade shows when the rumour mills
are working overtime.
Digitalphotgraphynow
- another forum site that I visit occasionally.
Canonians
is a website for Canon digital users, with a lot of useful information.
Macrophotgraphy.org
is a site specifically for close-up and macro photographers,
or those who (like me) would like to learn more about the art.
Panoguide.com
is a good site for learning about making panorama photos.
Eosseries
is a good French website about Canon EOS gear, with an English
version, thank heavens ;-)
the EOS Documentation
Project is worth a look - it's a collection of manuals and
articles to help people get the best out of their Canon gear,
often covering stuff that the Canon manuals don't.
Accurate Image
Manipulation has useful information about post-processing
digital images, whether digitally captured or scanned.
Scantips.com

Computer
Darkroom.com is another hints & tips site, well worth

at Photonotes.org.
Equipment
& Software Suppliers
Canon
UK website - I've got to include this as most of my gear
is made by them ;-)
Canon
Camera Museum - the history of and information about Canon
gear
Breezebrowser
is one of the best third-party RAW decoders for Canon digital
cameras.
Capture One
DSLR is another - I actually own and use both these, depending
on what I want to achieve from any given image.
NeatImage
is one of the best, inexpensive digital noise filtration programs
and works very nicely with D30 high-ISO images.
QImage
is the best printing software I've found, giving almost limitless
control over your printed output.
Dealers
& Printers
Pro-Am
Imaging - an excellent printing service, with excellent
value for money - e.g. 18"x12" prints for £1.00
plus p/p
Photobox - an excellent online printing service, with a
wide range of products
Snappy
Snaps is a processing/printing franchise - I can't speak
for all branches, but the Southampton one does excellent work.
I don't use film much now, but when I did I had excellent processing
service from Peak
Imaging - reports I hear indicate that they are still one
of the best.
Park Cameras
is a dealer in Sussex, often offering very good prices and excellent
service.
A J Purdy
is another dealer that I use, also good prices and service.
Speedgraphic
in Alton offer very good service, and reasonable prices. Their
range of stock is very good.
Warehouse
Express - first-class range, prices and service
Bristol
Cameras - another dealer offering a wide range with keen
prices and good service
Selectafont
are suppliers of inkjet inks and cartridges - excellent prices
and service.
For producing slides from digital images, I have had excellent
service from Microquiz
XLShop
are also good suppliers of inkjet materials.
For cheap supplies, then 7dayshop,
MX2 and Photoglossy
on the Channel Islands offer keen prices. Delivery is usually
longer than mainland suppliers and some people have had problems
with one or other of them. Personally I haven't had any problems
and would just advise that they are not to be recommended for
items that are needed quickly. If time is not critical, then
the prices are worth the wait.
UK
Camera Shops - a useful directory of ... well, you can guess,
can't you?
Ffordes
- great for second-hand cameras and other gear
MW Classic
Cameras - another regular that I keep an eye on for any
classics that I'm after.
Locations

Weather Centre - always worth checking before venturing
out!
Ordnance
Survey Get-a-Map - useful for checking a location if you
haven't bought the map - yet ;-)

but the Passenger Liner schedules and tide tables are publically
accessible.

any year

guessed it) Hampshre and the Isle of Wight.

the cold!
