An interesting Observer article about William Eggleston who is one of my favorite photographers.

 

at 65, William Eggleston is perhaps the most innovative American photographer of the past 50 years whose unique style has transformed the way we look at the world.  His influence on our visually led contemporary popular culture is now so pervasive that it goes unnoticed. In fashion shoots and films, advertising and art photography, Eggleston's everyday view of things, initially dismissed by critics in the mid-Seventies, is now the prevalent aesthetic.

I'd definitely go for digital rather than film. You can see the results instantly and can experiment with various settings and not have to pay out a load for film and processing.

 

What type of digital camera to get? What are you wanting to photograph? Do you want an easily pocketable, but fairly basic point and shoot camera? A slightly bigger camera that can still be P&S but has more setting to try, or maybe a DSLR which is more flexible still

 

A few years ago DSLRs were very expensive but you can buy a damn good one now for about 600 quid

Can anyone recommend a decent free online album type thing that you can image link to? It'd be nice to be able to upload photos somewhere easily and be able to link to them from other sites so you can easily show people your pics.

 

Cheers!

 

 

No one's mentioned Flickr yet. Is it rubbish? Or haunted? I used photobucket for a while, but I hated the layout, Flickr makes me feel like I'm young, and maybe even a little hip.

 

Not that this is an empty attempt to advertise my flickr account or anything. link ahoy!

 

Ok. It was exactly that.

Well i did just make a post with a load of links and descriptions of each link on, but in my technical wizardry i managed to hit the close window button. Bugger.

Okay here are the links, and i've added the descriptions again. grrr

 

Manx Photographs

 

http://www.manxlinx.com/manx_photos.html Not many photos but they are pretty good. The thumbnails do not do them justice.

 

http://www.manxscenes.com/ Hundreds of photos of the Isle of Man taken by Peter Killey.

 

http://www.isleofmanphotographs.com/ Great site with loads of quality pictures on.

 

http://iomphoto.20m.com/ Isle of Man Photography Society site, not the best designed but the pics are good.

 

http://www.manxphotography.com/ The galleries are divided up into headings which are a bit different. The shop is a great idea and i am sure i will buy from her some time soon.

 

http://www.island-images.co.uk/ Good site, with pictures of the IoM and other places they have visited.

 

http://www.manxscape-photography.com/ I like the mono pics in this site, i'm a sucker for black and white.

 

http://homepages.enterprise.net/jasonquayl...ital/index.html If you visit none of the sites above then visit this one, a very different portayal of the isle of man, that i think does it much better justice than just a single pic.
