I just found the best web page ever. I know, it’s a bit of a tall claim, but I think it’s probably the truth.
What if there was a web-site out there that explained in great detail how cameras work, history of photography, and offer up a ton of cheap mods you can do to a camera to broaden its use to astrophotography, micro photography, and lots of other nifty stuff?
