Which dive/photography forums do you frequent

hmmmm........anyone try http://www.underwaterphotography.com ???

 

what do you think??

I tried that site, but its forums seem somewhat awkward (e.g., to quickly see which posts have been made since last visit) - it really seems mostly geared towards selling stuff.

I'll add my kudos to the strobist site, which I somehow neglected to include in my list. While much of the discussion there is over my head, I find it fascinating, and I have learned some practical stuff about lighting and photography in general!

the naturephotographers.net sites (there are regional forums), or at least the one i frequent (UK)

is probably the best natural world based photo site that i've come across, from the point of view

of constructive critique.

many critique forums seem to suffer from comments along the lines of "great shot!!!" or no critique at all

if the images need improvement.

UKNP i think has a great balance of really constructive commentary going on, and a great mix of skills.

although perhaps an overabundance of avian images.

mark.
