Since I first started using it back in November 2006, Google Reader has completely changed the way I consume information. I currently subscribe to over 500 RSS feeds which enables me to easily browse almost 1500 items and articles a day. Within those 500 feeds are about 75 photography feeds. These feeds encompass everything from how to break into the photography business to lighting tips to camera reviews to photos from some of the best photographers on the web. These feeds have helped me enormously in building my skillset, providing inspiration, and intensifying my passion for the art. So, I thought I’d share these feeds with all of you in the hope that you will have as much fun going through them as I have.

I’ve added a little blurb to some of the more notable feeds in the list. If there is no blurb, it doesn’t mean the site isn’t any good… It simply means I probably just discovered it (while researching this very article) and I am still getting a feel for the content. If there are any sites that you believe deserve a mention, please let me know in the comments… In the future, I plan on posting a Part 2 to this list. There are simply too many great photographers on the web to get them all in one list.

I have provided all the feeds below in a downloadable OPML file for easy importing into your favorite RSS reader…

• dPS - Digital Photography School Blog
• I almost didn’t include this one because, really, if you’re a photographer and you have Internet access, you know about this site. Excellent tutorials and lessons for every kind of photographer… A must read!

• Strobist

• The website of Trey Ratcliff… THE HDR photographer. This is where I, and countless others, learned how to do HDR photography, though none of us will exceed Trey’s shots.
• Thomas Hawk’s Digital Connection
• One of the most well-known photographers on the web. I became familiar with Thomas’ photos early on and, still, they never cease to impress.
