Looking For An informative photography Forum

Does anyone know any well known and informative photography forums?

photo.net is great

The Hun has some great photographs.

It's a Canon DSLR forum, but aside from the equipment forums, a lot of non Canon users visit as well. There's over 100k registered members world wide and some very knowledgable pros that are willing to help people out.

Photography on the net:
Digital camera photo galleries, gallery database, info and forums

^^ Second that!

Photography on the net has a lot of content. But the management (Moderators) are really a bunch of snotty types and that Pekka guy who owns the site is one unfriendly dude. I think it's a front for Pekka's business more than an actual online community.

Are you looking for general photography tips which are not specific to a particular brand of camera ?

Off the top of my head:

Someone already mentioned photo.net but I'm not too keen on their layout

There's dpreview, but I personally loathe the site. Its' a mess and full of useless brick wall pixel peepers

For Canon stuff POTN was already mentioned

I personally have made a home of NikonCafe.com - Powered by vBulletin They're really great people who don't care so much about brand names even though they're DSLR Nikon shooters. (pretty much everyone there hates Nikon P&S's lol)

There are a lot of film shooters there and a lot of them shoot with non Nikon gear. Generally a very informed and experienced (professionals) group of individuals who appreciate sharing as well as taking in knowledge. Definitely a LOT less biased and more sensible/down to earth than people from another Nikon forum (whom shall go unnamed) or even the POTN folks. Though I do also belong to the latter and have also found very nice folks on there too.

It's a huge forum and if they don't tightly moderate it, it'll end up something like The Photo Forum where jack***es are allowed free reign of the place and there's pretty much no real law or moderation.

POTN is a very good source for information and people, including the moderators, that I've personally met from POTN have all turned out to be good people.

Look at Devilboy, I'm sure he rubs people the wrong way sometimes and people get miffed about stuff he does, but he's doing his job along with all the other moderators on this site to keep it from winding up one big trash hole of a mac vs. pc debate.
