Phototuts
Phototuts+ is part of the envato network. It’s a website that gives you great tips & tricks about photography. Other tutorial websites from envato are psdtuts, nettuts… Looking at the success of these blogs, I’m pretty confident that phototuts will gain a lot of fans.
Readers of the Phototuts+ website share their work, the results of tutorials they’ve completed, and take part in photography and post-processing competitions.
Utata
Utata is a collective of photographers, writers, and like-minded people who share a compelling interest in the arts. You can also find the utata website here. This is a pretty active group with a huge amount of photos. This group currently has 17,789 members, and it’s growing quickly.
Black and White
If you’re big passion is black and white photography, then you should join this group. This group offers you the best examples of this photography style. I you can’t contribute something to the pool, maybe you could contribute something to the discussion, because there are plenty of interesting topics in this group. I’m sure you won’t be surprised if I tell you that this group has a huge amount of photographs (almost 2 million!).
Flickr Central
FlickrCentral is a place for the newbies to get a taste of what Flickr is about, and a place for the more experienced users to keep a finger on the pulse of our favorite addiction.
Night Images
Night time photography can really results in amazing photos. This is the place to showcase your images taken in the dark of night. City, country, shoreline, ambient man-made light, light-painting, cloud movement and star trails are the things we’re looking for in this group.
Portrait
This group refers to any photo that depicts the face and/or adjacent part of the body, or the entire body, whether sharply recognizable … or artsy, pushing the limits. Here, the face is paramount. Any other body part, by itself, doesn’t qualify as a portrait. This is a great group with some jaw-dropping portraits.
HDR
The intent of this group is to feature pictures and discussion surrounding HDR specific technology and tools used for creating or developing high bit HDR images. You might remember this great photography style from one of my previous posts: 25 jaw-dropping HDR photos.
Strobist
This group is part of a great blog called Strobist.com. I’m sure you’re not surprised that light is really important in this group. This group could be ideal to learn more about the delicate settings of light. There is a full lighting course, hundreds of articles and even a section of dozens of photos from real-world assignments with exact instructions on how they were lit with one or two small flashes.
The World Through My Eyes
The world through my eyes is a group for both amateurs and professional photographers. This really is a group for all aspects of photography: landscapes, portraits, skylines… There are also plenty of competitions and some great topics to discuss.
Travel Photography
A group for everyone who is travelling with a camera. Travel tips, tricks, and personal travel experiences. You’ll see plenty of pictures from all parts of the world in this group. This Flickr group once again shows in what a beautiful world we live in. You can also join their sister group: outstanding travel photos, where you’ll find some of the best travel photos on Flickr.
