Tell me about photo blogs
Are you a photographer occasionally writing about photography? Post a comment.
Do you have your own photography blog? Post a comment.
Do you know of a site who runs DIY projects that sometimes are about photography? Post a comment.
Do you have a website which has some original angle on anything? Post a comment.
Do you run a page which has nothing to do with anything I’d be remotely interested in? Post a comment anyway.
See a pattern yet? Exactly – I’m very curious to find out more about what makes my readers tick – and of course, I’m looking for new sources from where I can pilfer ideas for interesting articles for Photocritic.
Too shy to post a comment in public? Send me an email instead – get your submissions in to hajejan@photocritic.org!
You can even send press releases, if you are a company, but if they are crap, prepare to be ridiculed.
My day job, if it can be called that, is being a writer. I've got one book out there so far and it's awesome, so go ahead and buy a copy! It's available from 
In front of you, five hyperactive men with guitars, drums, and microphones. Behind you, five thousand fans. In your hands, a camera... You're going to need more than just a little bit of good luck to pull this one off. That's where this book comes in.
Take a Canon EOS 450D. Attach a Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens. Hit the streets of London. See what happens.
Insights, suggestions and comments
Well, I do have some photo related stuff, but I do not feature my gallery or albums promenently on my site.
I did post about some DIY and frugal photography a little while back wherein Photocritic.org was added in the comments. I link to several sites with some good info.
Also, there is a little post on how to get the most out of your consumer digital camera.
Well, I’m not shy. :-) I have a photo blog (see above), and I’ve enjoyed this site and have gotten several ideas of things that I want to try.
I don’t have any DIY tutorials, and I’m not sure if it’s an original angle (or any kind of angle), but I’ve been writing lately on my film-based digital workflow at Treemeat.com.
I run a blog about my experience with photography as well as some tutorials, info articles and links to cool photography stuff.

As someone who has just started out in photography I wanted a project that would help me learn many of the different techniques used.
I am attempting to take and post a new photo every day the year – at times this has effectiely been a photo blog.
I am achieving what I wanted in that almost every day I am learning something new.
Take a look : http://www.kgmarsch.co.uk
I have a photoblog at http://www.thosedarktrees.com and a regular text blog at http://www.thosedarktrees.com/blog/. Neither are super, but they’re mine.
Well, here’s mine. http://lightphotos.blogspot.com
There are links to my other photo blogs at the bottom of the page.
Here’s mine personal photodiary.
Ooops… http://photo.webgriffe.com
Various posts about photography (kit, photos, Flickr) mixed with some ramblings about technology in general at http://andypiper.wordpress.com/
I am new to photography and am new to blogging. It has all been a bit of a reverlation to me to be honest. Anyway i have set up this site. I also photoblog a pic per day @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/subfoz/ and @ http://mologophoto.blogspot.com/.
To be honest if it is photoblogging that you are interested in then you cannot go far wrong with flickr. You could spend years there :D
Also i regularly check in on
http://o-pad.blogspot.com/
there are often some great pics posted here.
oops my website is http://www.mologo.co.uk
While it is hard to compare with some of these posts, I’ve got my Flickr page at http://flickr.com/photos/wolever/
well im not shy either, i’ve been trying for a while now to drive more traffic to my site, and to actually have someone ask for photobogs? well i wont turn them down :P i’ve also been a long time follower of photocritic, great blog, great job.. keep it up.
lies and more lies. because the camera always lies.
you might find some stuff here:
http://www.photogalaxy.com/articles.php
here’s mine: http://www.photographyjam.com/. It’s pretty new; maybe the stuff on there is a bit too basic for you :-)
Also… here is a PhotoGalaxy.com-related blog that you might want to look at:
http://photogalaxy.wordpress.com/
Well, you’ve linked to me before, so you already know… but I’m running Still Life With… a little blog focused on food photography.
I dabble in photography and photomanipulations (of the fantasy sort). I took my photography portfolio down but I still have stuff at my deviantART site (renilicious.deviantart.com) to view. I love this site. The links are great, the articles are always interesting even if I might not practice the vein of photography they’re about or need the items/systems they’re talking about. DA is also fantastic for photography enthusiasts. Heaps of marvelous galleries there.
This pages idea different from others. There arent lot of photos there. but photo owners can share theirs emotions when they took or looked this photographs. May be they should have a story about this photograph. I am from Turkey. When I started this page it was turkish but I saw there were different visitors from other countries so I decided to make it in two languages. It is now turkish and english
I’ve got a blog where I occasionally talk of photo stuff (and whatever else comes to mind). http://gmr2048.blogspot.com.
I also share a photo site with a friend. http://www.eighteenpercent.net.
And I’m a Pisces. I like long walks on the beach. And sunsets. My turn-ons are honesty, humor, the ability to weld, big b00biez and good beer. Turn-offs are hairy knuckles, Bud Light, Nascar, and Nikon users ;)
Well, you asked for it (where’s the preview button?)
http://fotoblog.ro is a Romanian photography blog.
Photos are showing more urban life in Bucharest, news about cultural life and events. Photo contest.
Mainly is English based, but there are also articles in Romanian.
These are daily visits for me:
Nicolai Grossman’s blog: http://photondetector.com/blog/
The Online Photographer: http://theonlinephotographer.blogspot.com
Conscientious: http://www.jmcolberg.com/weblog/
and, for extra DIY goodness, the f295 DIY forum: http://www.f295.org/DIYforum/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?
Mine is http://photondetector.com/blog/
It’s a blog about, rather than of, photography, focussed on film, DIY and camera hacking, experimental photography, and digital as it relates to film (nothing against digital, but there are better places with full time staff to go for that).
Others I like:
Katie Cooke’s Slowlight Pinhole Blog: http://slowlight.net/blog/
The Online Photographer: http://theonlinephotographer.blogspot.com/
I wonder if my ramblings at http://lenify.wordpress.com/ will interest you? But then again, you probably get to read me on planet #photogeeks!
Mostly I just post the results of my photography with some commentary about how I arrived at them. Sometimes public musings regarding creative insights or (more often) lack thereof. Hopefully soon, some tips for escaping that malaise.
Here is my site: http://www.fototiller.com. Fototiller is a blog covering all things photographic, with a particular focus on the intersection of photography and design and indie photo trends. The site features photo products and accessories (frames, albums, camera equipment, etc.), photo inspired design and diy photo projects and photo crafts and photo tutorials.
Hi there, I’m a scientist writing about photography, focusing on different ways of seeing things. I try to make a bridge between photography and a scientific visualisation.
Mine’s here : http://www.hyperhex.com
Check it out.
It is a personal photoblog, updated randomly, whenever.
Currently I am working on my latest series of photographs taken in Angkor Wat. Will upload day 2 soon.
I have a photo journal and a regular journal.
I just found this site, but will be back regularly.
Hi!
I maintain my photography blog since end of year 2005. Tha only issue is that is in spanish! :-)

This is a great site…
http://www.pixalo.com
Recently opened again and contains some great articles that could be useful to photographers. One of the recent additions is how to get your photography published and another is about a professional freelance photographer. The site also has a free gallery and equipment reviews as well as a growing community. Take a look around it :-)
I would like to let you know about a new photography website concept that we have built. http://www.photozook.com is a photo review site with a twist.
The site is currently in beta form.
The site is for photographers to show off their work and get constructive comments on their work. This is not a photo sharing or storage site, but there is no limit as to the number of images a photographer may upload for comments or voting, although we envision photographers uploading no more than 10-20 images per week.
The main goal of the site is for photographers to post an image to the site either by uploading or linking from their own site. This image is then put in the photo queue were people can vote on the image if they like it. Once a photo get’s enough votes, it is automatically promoted to the front page of the site.
A vote means you like the image, a non-vote means you are not fond of the image. We tried to make it as simple as possible.
Users can also leave comments on the photo as well.
The site is completely free and is open to anyone who wants to upload images.
To upload or comment, you need to log in. Registration takes all of about 10 seconds and requires a username, email and password.
So, if you have a couple spare moments, please stop by and check it out.
I also would like to hear what you think about the concept as well as the functionality.
http://www.photozook.com
A couple notes:
1. The look and feel is temporary. It is being changed.
2. Once we get the main functionality working as expected, we will be adding additional features.
3. If you have any issues or problems uploading or linking to your image, please let me know.
Here is my collection. Any critiques are welcome and encouraged. Thanks.
Hi there, not exactly ground breaking but I just posted a DIY wrist strap how-to on my site http://www.mattyfu.com/wriststrap.html
Keep up the good work,
Matt
Hi,
Ive just launched this digital photography resource site and would really appreciate your feedback and comments. i thought this would be a good place to start as im hoping most people here are genuine photographers! You can use the contact us form if you prefer to leave comments there. Thanks in advance, i really appreciate the help.

I’ve just made this ring light, would you like to post instruction, http://www.flickr.com/photos/rodolfonovak/196695115/
have a look on th pics to see the result.
I’m a Los Angeles based photographer providing actor headshots, model portfolios, commercial photography.
My site has several helpful and exclusive articles including “Headshots: Some things every actor should know” and “Modeling: Some things every model should know” under the resources section.
I have a photoblog with nothing very interesting.
well, I do not own a photoblog, but do have my personal gallery hosted on it. It has a few pictures of, guess what… the pringles macro! ;). For the record.
My site features a blog that covers travel and photography. But since I’m home as of this week, I expect it will talk more about photography. It’s a supplement to my photo galleries and includes a few articles (more to come!).
http://www.dsphotographic.com
My photography blog is aptly named: “F8andBeThere”. I once read that in a photo magazine when I started photography in 1991.
I also thought it appropriate because it’s also the fixed focal length of my 600mm mirror lens :)
My main website has a gallery with a slew of images, ranging from portraits to landscape to street photography to abstract and obscure.
I also list some basic photo tips; my photography credits; my gear; photographers who inspire me; and some personal background.
See my website for links to my blog and a WAP version of my site.

I have my photoblog at http://photoblog.fandino.net
And I have a blog devoted to photography, it’s called Foto Digital Mexico (http://www.foto-digital.com.mx) It’s in spanish and I cover not only the news about cameras and accesories, but I have also news of events related to photo and photo competitions in Latin America and Spain.
Since you asked so nicely I’ll post a link to my photblog :) – http://pblog.cutback.org
My site eolake.blogspot.com is about photography, and many other things too.
My primary blog (see above) has some photography related content and a now short-lived picture-a-day portion. The photoblogging will continue at some point at a different location (when time permits to install). More photography related content will probably appear once I find time to redesign the site and get the daily photoblogging going again.
My wife and I also publish a daily photoblog of our dogs, The Life of Jalo at http://fierymill.net/loj/.
Alrighty. I’ve got one. A bit of diy, a lot of photos, a little text..Take a peek.
Take a look at this Estonian photographer and artist,
http://thesupersnap.blogspot.com//
I keep a photoblog of my favorites from portrait sittings and other random things I happen to shoot.
I have my own photography blog, located at:
http://www.goldengod.net
In addition, I regularly update my Flickr account with my latest endeavours:

Hi this is my personal photoDiary where I weekly put a shot, expecially portraits and beautys: http://photo.webgriffe.com
As you suggested I think you can be interested in photoDiary® software.
This is a cheap web application you can sell, download and install on your web server and configure as you like to show your pictures and lyrics.
It could also be used as discussion panel beetwen developer’s team members or LAN users.
Here you can find the public demo: http://www.webgriffe.com/photodiary
And here is the control panel where you can try and manage it: http://www.webgriffe.com/photodiary/admin (admin – admin)
You can select english language going to “CONFIGURAZIONE” section and selecting ENGLISH.
I’m a big fan of http://www.kenrockwell.com
He has great how-to posts that are always interesting and sometimes very funny.

i actually read your DIY concert photography before going to take a picture in a live concert for the first time. :) thanks for the great tips!
Great to see so many responses here! I am an amateur photographer looking to improve my work. So far I have an online gallery at a site called deviantart – http://darthpayback.deviantart.com/gallery/
Thanks in advance for checking out my photos!
i have a personal photoblog – http://www.apparentlynothing.com
not sure if these are of any interest to you, but since it’s all photoblogging related:
i also run the london chapter of photobloggers.org at http://www.london.photobloggers.org and co-created a hosted photoblogging service : Expressions (http://www.my-expressions.com). we are actually working on a new system as i type this…well, i’m procrastinating right now, but i’ll get back to work in a few!
hi
i have a little photoblog: http://lataddarita.blogspot.com
My blog can be found at http://www.photography.staciedembeck.com/wordpress/. With two classes this semester, I should be updating it bi-weekly, but with lots of great pictures.
Here’s mine, just newly born:

Hello all,

Thanks all

I’ve been running this photo site for over a year, blogging interesting photos I find on Flickr.

Hi
I’ve just come agross this site:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~zhuxj/astro/html/stfc.html
The author describes taking multiple (time lapse) photographs of the night sky in a city with lots of light pollution. A 20s exposure is about as long as he can go without washing out the photo. He then describes how he merged these photos (using a “max” operation) to create star trails over the city. Would love to know how to do that in more detail.
Cool.
Benjamin
Hello, me again.
I’ve just built (carved is probably a better word) a dummy NB-2L battery to act as a Canon ac adapter for my old S45 or S80. I couldn’t afford the official ACK700 adapter and didn’t want to sacrifice my battery which still has some life left in it.
So I just used simple hand tools (saw, chisel, craft knife (aka box cutter)) to cut out a piece of wood the same shape as the battery, take apart an unneeded computer power socket for the electrical contacts, cut & nailed the contacts in place (there was a convenient hole) and soldered a cable & DC power socket onto them. I had a multi-voltage regulated ac adapter which I simply set to 7.5V, same as the batteries nominal voltage, and plugged it in.
Works great.
I set my computer up last night to take time lapse photos of the dawn out of my window and it worked fine.
The “T” terminal in the centre is not connected so not needed. It is probably a thermistor to monitor battery temperature when charging so is probably not needed or even sensed by the camera.
Am happy for this hack to be featured on this website or wherever.
I don’t have a website or blog but have posted 3 photos on flickr – http://www.flickr.com/photos/44775325@N00/sets/72157594311758269/
hope that works.
Benjamin
I would daily go to the Londondailyphoto blog and marvel at the photos and the write-ups. I email Ham and told him I was waiting to take a photography course. He told me to “just do it” and learn on the way. I have had so much fun and it like most hobbies, the more you do the more you want to learn.
Good to see a photography site that is freindly & has so many women members. Seems to be growing at a rapid rate, yet still keeps a nice community feel. Highly recommended :)
Claire
Thanks for the great site and linky offer

Hey guys. I’ve recently started a fashion photography blog and would love to have you guys check it out and give me your thoughts. http://staticphotography.com.
Thanks and send me the URL to your photography blog too and I’ll check them out and point people at the good ones. :)

I have a website, but do not have a blog hosted on it yet. I do fashion, beauty, lifestyle, editorial and commercial photography in Los Angeles. I’m not sure if the blog format is necessary for what I do.
What started out as a gallery offering online viewing of photos created from the eyes of the homeless has been getting comments that there might be more to it than just snapshots. Simple idea. Gave cameras to the homeless. Published the results. Any professional opinions welcomed.
Hello there,
I have a new website (www.digitalimagination.eu) with only few blog entrances (in German for now, but that can change), and a gallery. It would be really great if you could give me a little feedback, all kinds of critique is welcome!
And I love this site, I am absolutely amazed at how often Haje manages to write articles, which are really enjoyable to read!
I have a photoblog called Fotoviva which is an accompaniment to my main site which sells mine and other photographers work through an online store. I find blogging hard as I’m not a blabber mouth hence it doesn’t come easily – but it needs to be done! It includes news about Fotoviva with new image uploads and also tips for better photography and Photoshop news. It’s coming together slowly but surely :-)
Hi there! Mine isn’t exactly a photoblog, but since acquiring my 400D, and pursuing my passion of photo, it’s turned into one! Would love for you to visit. Blessings!
Daily photos of everyday Japan.
A couple of months ago, I read your article about Smoke photography, and was so impressed that I started experimenting with it myself.. After discovering some recognisable shapes in my smoke trails, I kind of continued my work process after the tutorial ended and came up with many interesting shapes.. for instance: Queen of Hearts, Kissing Twins, Magician holding a crystal ball, dancing woman, predator-like alien, etc. Have a look at my blog and gallery to see some of these images and some information on how I did them.. Let me know if you want to use some pics for a follow-up on the successful smoke – how-to article!

http://www.threemilesdown.net .. there ya go
I know I’m late on this, but I thought I’d add it anyway.
I publish Photowalking.org. It’s a great site that helps photographers get out and shoot more. Sometimes I even help people organize local photowalks.
I just found this site through Scott Kelby’s blog and have enjoyed digging around a little.
I run a photoblog (it’s only been a photoblog for about two weeks) at kendallball.com and while it’s only photos right now, I plan to develop into small articles about using photography as a means of social change, advocacy and so on.
Keep up the good work,
GKB
Hi hope you find this interesting. The thing is doing photography in a different way that you are use to do it but instead using a digital of film camera, use a flatbed scanner, yes, as it sounds a flatbed scanner, I wrote a little article about it here http://www.jpgmag.com/stories/1564, and here I have a set of photos in my flickr account http://www.flickr.com/photos/raypg/sets/72157602155279480/ I hope you enjoy it and find this very interesting.
Cheers :D
I have a photography blog http://magicalplacesfineart.blogspot.com with articles and photographer interviews. Recent interviews include Todd Adams, Nicole Mabry, Linda Plaisted and Jason Wickens from Fotoviva.
Learn all about me and my photography here: http://www.magicalplacesfineart.com
We just put up a site similar to digg/reddit for Photographers. Check it out at PictPicture.com , let us know what you think, would love to hear a review (hopefully it isn’t too harsh!) We’re still working on adding a few more features so please keep that in mind.
I am a pro landscape photographer: http://www.photographybyvarina.com. A few of my articles are available for download from my site. I also have a blog, which can be found here: http://photographybyvarina.blogspot.com.
I’m in the process of completing a site with photoshop video tutorials by me, DIY photography projects, photography tips. If you could help me out with suggestions on what is there so far that would be awesome! http://www.fullaperture.org
So far I have 2 tutorials living in YouTube.com
channel name: o0FullAperture0o
I am an engineer that likes to make custom gadgets. I have a blog that is currently shocasing a simple LED Camera light. It would be great if you checked it out.
http://prodmod.com/2007/12/15/make-your-own-led-camera-light-for-only-2-lasts-longer-than-camerabright/
I am looking for feedback from the photography community on that DIY but also on any other DIY projects they may be interested.
The next project will be a cheap LED ring light.
Hi …
My site , http://www.gferro.com , is just a simple some sort of a photo journal … mostly of those in South East Asia region …..
:)
For those who appreciate …
Hello,
My main website: http://miklav.com
My blog: http://miklav.blogspot.com
My sub-site about selling stock http://stock.miklav.com – is going to be significantly updated soon, before mid-Feb-2008
Me, too, Me, too!
Not as ambitious as yours – and for a great deal also a playground for various webdesign
methods, since that is what I do for a living.
Moreover it has developed into something more of a photoblog with a more narrow topic:
The Wildlife of Florida. That’s about it!
Have fun…
I have just made a tutorial on high speed photo at home. Really simple, easy and cheap way.
Perfect for newbies.
Check it out here:

A photoblog running on pixelpost! Won photo friday the last two weeks!
I’m a new reader, and I can honestly say, that I have almost read all your articles on this site. My goal for next year, and hopefully I follow through with it, is to capture a photo a day! My first images may not be very successful, but I want to plan to get better as the year progresses, right now i’m part of this great community at fotofanatic.com, and starting January 1st 2010 I shall be posting my first of hopefully 365 entries for the year.!
Best Wishes for everyone and Happy new Year!
Share your wisdom
