Photocritic Greatest Hits vol.2

building

Early last year, I did an article titled ‘Photocritic Greatest Hits‘ – which basically just listed the most popular articles on this site.

The reason for repeating it is down to a comment by Sharon on Twitter, who mentioned that she loved Strobist, but hadn’t really gone through much of its backlog – which is a shame, really, since the Strobist blog is positively awesome. While I’m no Strobist, I’d like to think that Photocritic also has some articles in its history that are worth visiting – so hereby, a list of ‘if you read nothing else, read this’

Most commented, most viewed, and most awesome – all for you!

Just because an article is popular doesn’t mean it’s necessarily best. You’ll notice there’s a lot of nude photography stuff in the list above, so it’s obvious what kind of things people were searching for to find it :-) I have some more ones that are worth reading, though, if you fancy it.

In general, I turn my favourite articles into ‘featured’ articles, which means that they get ‘featured’ on the Photocritic home page that you can see all of them by checking out the Featured category. If you can’t be bothered, though, then check out these 10:

A Very Sharp Photo1 – Creating your own photography blog
2 – Teaching yourself photography
3 – Lens Flare and how to avoid it
4 – The return of Street Photography
5 – White balance explained
6 – Prime Lenses and why you need one
7 – Dealing with Negative Critique
8 – Expose for the highlights
9 – Teaching photography to a 5-year-old
