GUIDE to rec

GUIDE to rec.photo FAQs and Other WWW Resources in Photography (Version 4.17)

1. INTRODUCTION

The mission of this GUIDE is to serve as a pointer to FAQs created by members

of the USENET photography news groups and also as a locator of other

photography resources on the Web.

I post the GUIDE weekly to selected rec.photo news groups, specifically

rec.photo.misc, rec.photo.marketplace, rec.photo.darkroom,

rec.photo.equipment.misc, rec.photo.technique.misc, rec.photo.film+labs, and

rec.photo.equipment.35mm.

This is the latest on-line version of the GUIDE, and was last revised on July 18, 1997. I am designating it version 4.17.

This version of the GUIDE is reorganized and contains a number of new URLs,

especially in the on-line magazine, macro, travel, nature, and equipment sections.

The GUIDE now has the following parts:

1. INTRODUCTION

2. INFORMATION ABOUT THE GUIDE

3. NEWCOMER INFORMATION

4. HELP WITH PURCHASING CAMERA EQUIPMENT BY MAIL

ORDER

5. GENERAL PHOTOGRAPHY INFORMATION

6. INSTRUCTION IN PHOTOGRAPHY

7. HOME PAGES OF ASSOCIATIONS AND ORGANIZATIONS

8. LINKS TO THE rec.photo FAQs

9. INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC MODES OF PHOTOGRAPHY

A. GENERAL TYPES OF PHOTOGRAPHY

B. NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY

C. THE BUSINESS OF PHOTOGRAPHY

D. PHOTOSHOP AND OTHER COMPUTER PROGRAMS

10. GUIDES TO CAMERA SERVICE OR CONSTRUCTION

11. MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

12. WWW PHOTOGRAPHY MAGAZINES

13. MANUFACTURERS' and DEALERS' HOME PAGES

This GUIDE is a corporate project. I must depend on the maintainers of

the FAQs to inform me when changes are made, new FAQs

are prepared, site addresses are revised, or new sites become available.

This GUIDE began as a pointer to sites for the FAQs of rec.photo.*

news groups. The original maintainer of this pointer was Bo-Ming Tong

(bmtong@cs.arizona.edu).

Since August 20, 1995, this GUIDE has been maintained by

John N. Wall (jnweg@unity.ncsu.edu).

From the beginning of this GUIDE, resources for information

about photography on Usenet and the World Wide Web have grown

tremendously to include a wide range of other materials.

These resources include web pages of photography equipment

manufacturers, guides to specialized forms of photography, information on

techniques, WWW photography magazines, and many other kinds of

information.

It includes the urls of FAQs on almost every conceivable subject relating to photography.

It also includes a host of other privately created web pages on everything from

how to reload a Fuji disposable camera to how to make a large format camera to

how to do microphotography. It also includes the urls of photo magazines

on the Web and the Web pages of manufacturers of photographic equipment.

It does not include Web sites which are primarily for the exhibition of photographs,

unless the creator of the exhibition site has also included significant informational

materials.

It does not include Web sites which are primarily commercial, except for Web

sites of mail order firms specifically recommended by users of the rec.photo news groups.

The GUIDE tries to capture the diversity of this information as well as

to maintain its original purpose of linking users of the rec.photo

news groups to the FAQs.

This GUIDE is a tribute to the hard work of amateur photographers who

wish to organize their knowledge and make it available to other

photographers around the world.

This GUIDE to the FAQs may be copied and distributed freely except for

direct commercial advantage.

I make my best efforts to ensure the accuracy of the information in this

FAQ. However, I do not assume any responsibility for losses or damages

resulting from the use of the information in this FAQ. Use the information

at your own risk.

There is also a version of this GUIDE which I post weekly to the USENET rec.photo newsgroups. The WWW version is available on my World Wide

Web home page. The address is

http://www4.ncsu.edu/unity/users/j/jnweg/html/

I try to keep the WWW version current,

but the most current version is the one posted to the rec.photo newsgroups.

I need folks to keep me posted when addresses change or new material

becomes available. I also need folks to alert me if they find that an address

is no longer available or as described. Contact me by e-mail at

jnweg@unity.ncsu.edu

THANKS!

JN Wall

3. NEWCOMER INFORMATION

Welcome to the rec.photo news groups (known collectively as rec.photo.*)!

If you are a newcomer looking for a recommendation of a beginner's

camera, take a look at the vendor specific FAQs first (Canon, Minolta,

Nikon, etc.), which are listed below.

After that, you may post a question to the appropriate rec.photo

news group, depending on the nature of the question.

Each of the rec.photo news groups has a different audience, purpose and

emphasis.

Here is the current list of rec.photo news groups and a brief description

of the purpose of each:

Rec.photo.misc ------------------------------------ Questions not covered by categories below

Rec.photo.marketplace --------------------------- Offers to buy and sell camera equipment

Rec.photo.darkroom ------------------------------ Darkroom techniques and issues

Rec.photo.equipment.35mm -------------------- 35mm cameras and lenses

Rec.photo.equipment.large-format ------------ Large format cameras and lenses

Rec.photo.equipment.medium-format --------- Medium format cameras and lenses

Rec.photo.equipment.misc ----------------------- Other formats, tripods, projectors, bags, etc.

Rec.photo.film+labs -------------------------------- Film and commercial photo finishing

Rec.photo.technique.art --------------------------- Issues of fine art, framing, display

Rec.photo.technique.misc ------------------------- Other non-equipment posts about technique

Rec.photo.technique.nature ----------------------- Wildlife, landscapes, travel tips etc.

Rec.photo.technique.people ---------------------- Portraits, figure studies, weddings

Rec.photo.digital -------------------------------------- Digital cameras, scanners, printers, software, PhotoCD

Rec.photo.moderated ----------------------------------Restricted group; check group for types of messages deemed appropriate

For a guide to using the rec.photo news groups, visit

http://www.mat.uc.pt/~rps/photos/rec.photo.new

This is a guide to posting in the rec.photo

hierarchy, prepared by Bob Atkins, the guru of the news groups.

Bob provides a full description of the news groups, including a

description of how to use them properly. Bob's message is not a substitute for

reading the group charters,

but it's a lot shorter. When in doubt, read the group charters at

http://bobatkins.photo.net/info/charter.htm

4. HELP WITH PURCHASING CAMERA EQUIPMENT BY MAIL ORDER

PURCHASING FROM ANOTHER AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER

The rec.photo news groups include a site for the purchase of used camera

gear from other users, called rec.photo.marketplace.

HOWEVER, A CAUTION ABOUT rec.photo.marketplace!

Do not post requests for information to rec.photo.marketplace!

Rec.photo.marketplace is for the buying, selling and trading of personally

owned used photographic equipment, not for questions.

Nor should you post offers to sell or buy camera gear to any news group

EXCEPT rec.photo.marketplace. You can get flamed if you do.

You may also want to consult

THE SITE FOR INTERACTIVE WWW APPRAISAL OF USED CAMERA GEAR

http://www.nerosworld.com/f_stop/

THE YAHOO LIST OF USED CAMERA DEALERS

http://www.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Companies/Photography

You may also want to check the Directory of Stolen Equipment at

http://db.photo.net/registry/index.html

and at

http://www.illuminet.net/~busby/magicbox/magicbox.html

when purchasing gear through rec.photo.marketplace or when purchasing

used gear of any kind.

PURCHASING FROM A MAIL-ORDER BUSINESS

If you are trying to order a camera in the US, the mail-order survey

is a MUST-READ. See

http://www.cmpsolv.com/los/pmos.shtml

http://www.gtlug.org/photo_stores_survey.txt

http://math.liu.se/~behal/photo/photographic_mail_order_survey

FOR MORE EXPERIENCES WITH MAIL-ORDER, SEE THE ON-GOING DISCUSSION ON

http://db.photo.net/classified/

AND

http://swissnet.ai.mit.edu/photo/where-to-buy.html

THIS IS PERHAPS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT SERVICE OF

THE rec.photo NEWS GROUPS.

Many mail order houses are dishonest and, among other things, advertise

false prices, engage in flagrant bait-and-switch practices, claim

special deals on non-existent gear, charge your account without your

authorization, try to sell you items actually included by the manufacturer

in the package you want to buy, claim to sell "new" models of items when

such models do not exist, and charge exorbitant return fees or refuse to

take back wrongly-shipped articles.

The mail-order survey gives statistics on customer satisfaction and you will

learn which stores to avoid.

A RULE OF THUMB! ALWAYS use a credit card when ordering and

contact your credit card company IMMEDIATELY if you feel that you

have been cheated. You do not have to pay the

bill and the credit card company will deal with the photo equipment

company for you.
