Featured Sites
Featured sites are not associated with Photoxels.
By featuring a site, our intention is to
highlight web sites our editors think worth
visiting. Though most are digital photography-related
and illustrate what can be done with a digital
camera, others are not. Some sites may not
be appropriate to viewing by minors. The
content and advertising policies of the
featured site may also not be in accordance
with those of Photoxels -- and we cannot
control these. Please exercise care and
common sense, and if a site is objectionable
to you, let us know.

The tagline reads "Life explained. On film." And indeed it does -- and remarkably well, at that. You can find almost everything explained, from How to make Alfredo sauce to How to photograph a nude woman / man [Ha, got your attention!]. No racy stuff, just plain photography sense. Lots of useful and practical tips. Want to understand Exposure better? How about a short video course on Exposure, Shutter Speeds and Aperture? You can scroll down the page for the actual text read in the video. It's the better YouTube.

You won't see me often venturing further North past Stouffville in my car, but thanks to Google Earth, I can zip to far away places in the comfort of my armchair. I notice little blue dots pockmarking the landscape and upon double-clicking on one, discover a beautiful landscape picture. More clicking and more wonderful photos, all dotted around the Google Earth 3D map. Give it a try, but let me warn you beforehand that it's absolutely addictive. And why not submit your photos to Panoramio? If selected, they will be added to Google Earth for all the world to visit and see -- with a link back to your home web site.

"One of the saddest days of my life" is how one reader recalls this day. Of course, 9/11 is not just New York, but the twin towers are the images that will remain seared in most people's mind. Especially if you can just see it happening right out your kitchen window, as Victor Ho did on that fateful day.
photo.net/gallery is also not just about 9/11 but it seems fitting on this day to highlight one aspect from the incredible range of pictures you can find in this gallery. There are photography portfolios, photographers' pages, photo ratings, and other areas. Visit the site, browse the gallery or register for free and post your own photos!

If you are serious about photography, sooner or later you'll need to learn how to use flash like a professional. This is the mission of Strobist where David Hobby teaches us the ins and outs of professional lighting like you've never read it -- and seen it demonstrated -- before.

Bird Cinema has launched a new Picture section where bird lovers can post their greatest bird pictures!
Birdcinema.com is a place for people to post many different types of bird videos and photos. It provides a community of people who love birds, domestic and wild. Both amateurs and professionals post on the site and share their best videos and pictures. Anecdotes about the bird, how a video was shot, and other relevant info round out a submission. The site purports to be both inspirational and educational.
The slow-motion [next feature to arrive in digital cameras?] footage of birds alighting on -- and taking off -- from a perch is a beauty.

I like this photoblog because the author
is not just out snapping photos to post.
Each shot is a little self-contained experiment
in different photography techniques with
relevant EXIF info posted. The pictures
look great and the accompanying anecdotes
add a personal touch.
Jonathan Goldberg currently lives in Toronto,
Ontario, Canada. He shoots with a Canon
EOS 30D. Favourite lenses are the Canon
EF-S 18-55mm USM and EF 70-300mm IS USM.
Concerning the title of the photoblog,
Jonathan writes: "I wanted something
original yet easy to remember for the title.
To take the lid off something means to reveal
or to show for the first time. I feel like
my images show ordinary daily scenes or
subjects in a new light, in a way that you
may just be seeing them for the first time."

Back in university at UT Texas, Austin,
I had a roommate from Nepal. Sagun was a
great pal and one day he prepared pickled
bamboo shoots and stank up the whole apartment
for a week :D. Now everytime the subject
of Nepal comes up, I am reminded of "Sagun
and the Pickled Bamboo Shoots." I am
glad to present reader Karan Desar's

Nepal - Nepal through the viewfinder"
-- an exotic place for many of us here in
North America.

 Adam
Gibbs Photography
Canadian nature photographer Adam Gibbs
recalled glancing through a book on nature
photography and "wondering why my pictures
didn't look as good as the ones in the book.
" His formula to becoming a great nature
photographer was simply "to get out
there, observe, start shooting and keep
shooting."
His works have featured in many publications,
from Audubon to the Sierra Club, and many
books, magazines, and other calendars in
between. Not bad for someone who started
as a snap shooter!

 Don
Ellis' Kleptography
One of the criteria I use when selecting
a Featured Sites is the amount of time I
spend browsing it. Don Ellis' site, Kleptography,
is filled with obsessively good pictures,
funny anecdotes, and when he gives advice,
it's pretty sound. And you feel like you're
welcomed to stay and browse for as long
as you want....

 No,
our featured site for this month is not
an April Fool's joke. If you think it is,
then the joke's on you. Far too many of
us spend too much time figuring out which
digital camera to buy -- and spend too little
time taking great pictures. A pinhole camera
is as bare bones a camera as one can get;
now, with the technical details cast aside,
we can concentrate on just taking pictures.
Here's your challenge this month: see if
you can take better pictures than the ones
featured on Pinhole
Visions.
