Photo.net

November 14, 2007

Disclaimer:
Nude photography can be found at the site linked to in article.

photo.net is, by far, one of the best places to get inspired by seeing other peoples - truly fantastic - photography. {As well as a place to post your own}

The quality of photos, as well as the sites enormous collection and variety of photos, sets this site apart from any other photo gallery site that I have yet seen.

You can browse by category, which is excellent, and it also allows you to refine your search further, according to: photographer average, photos of the week {for the given category you are in of course}, aesthetics, originality, etc.

There 25+ categories, including: portrait, nature, & nudes to name a few.

A note about searching.
If your a bit shy about viewing the human body {naked}, then you can filter out nudes for the most part.

Albeit, some categories, such as fashion may still be a bit controversial for some. So use your own discretion.

Another note:
Depending on how you have your search set up, it may appear as some categories have next to no photos in them. Fashion is a good example. If you have the category set to fashion, and then set to view by photo of the week, well it just so happens that only 3 photos have made photo of the week. - those concerned about questionable content, may find this helpful as well as searching with ‘no nudes’.

Conclusion
Some final thoughts and pointers about photo.net.

Under each thumbnail, you typically can find info about the type of camera being used for a given shot.
Also, by clicking on the name, you can access a particular photographers gallery. {Again, the way of searching for photos at this site is quite flexible.} And lastly, when clicking on a photo thumbnail, you have access to a larger version, but also access to critique for the given photo being viewed. {You will have to register before being able to critique a photo.}

Bonus features/content
What photo site would be complete without reviews on the latest equipment.
Well there are reviews, topical forums, etc., found here.

While this may not become your one-stop place for news & reviews, it may be worth taking a look into.

Peace
