Last week we looked at 5 great photography websites for ideas, inspiration and learning. This week we’re doing it all again so bookmarks at the ready!

Stuck in Customs

The number 1 travel blog and home of the award winning free HDR tutorial by Trey Ratcliff.

This is HDR photography done right and there’s loads of great information and recommendations for equipment and software.

There are some posts that really stand out……..and here they are….

HDR Spotting

This is a another site from Trey Ratcliff and long time friend Denis Khoo. HDR Spotting offers daily images from some of the worlds best HDR photographers. Keep up to date by following @hdrspotting on twitter.

HDR Spotting is designed to be a next-generation gallery for an emerging group of photographers. This site was started because we saw an intense desire on behalf of HDR Photographers to get their work noticed and to drive more traffic to their sites.

Guest Editors

HDR Spotting’s guest editors are recognized in the HDR community for their amazing work. So far guest editors have been Jason St. Peter, Chris Nowakowski, Brian Matiash, Kay Gaensler, John R. Rogers, Scott Wyden Kivowitz.

Peta Pixel

PetaPixel was born in May of 2009, and is a blog about photography geared towards tech-savvy digital photographers. Our goal is to inform, educate, and inspire in all things related to photography.

In case you didn’t know, the “peta” in PetaPixel is the prefix that denotes 10¹⁵, just as the “mega” in megapixel denotes 10⁶.

Not only has Michael Zhang a massive following on Twitter but that’s backed up by a great site. There’s also a popular Flickr Group with over 300 members.
