I've done my fair share of it, but its really an expensive hobby to get into.

Yeah, I'll leave it to the professionals.

Well, now that digital cameras are becoming more affordable, I'll be getting back into it. I have a little polaroid, I guess the equivalent to the kodak box cameras from years ago (without the picture quality however ). But the kids enjoy it, and I have taken some very pathetic pics and made really kewl things in psp7 and photoshop when I've been bored! I would like to eventually have a camera of high enough quality to take pics for my own textures and backgrounds to use in 3ds max and the other graphics progs I have been playing with.

Old topic, but thought photography people might find this iste pretty neat.

I think that photography is very important, both for documentation and just for expanding ones own interest/pleasure. Corbis Images, a Bill Gates privately owned company, is doing its best to get all the rights it can for all digital images it can lay its hands on. When I was there, they staffed the image processing room 24/7 and were buying up digital stock companies and had aquired the Bettman collection. They are up to over a million images online, and licence images to advertising companies, publishers, TV, news etc. http://www.corbis.com

I have always sorta been interested in photography-more so when you see images like this one:

http://www.chaparraltree.com/mn/950a7498-lg.shtml

These pics are better than anything I saw, (of insects and the like) than at Corbis...proves that bigger isn't necessarily better.

Chaparraltree is one of the more interesting sites I have stumbled upon. His site has bunches of cool pics like these, I think he is a biologist and a writer as well. Anyway, stunning very cool pictures taken with a multi-mega pixel camera...I don't remember the brand but he lists his camera specs.

I just need to save up money to get a descent digital camera, I haven't even began to shop for one. Can anyone recommend a good digital photography beginners site?

I did a report a while ago on Ansel Adams, the greatest photographer to ever live, and I must say that photography is a great art form, as long as you dont confuse it with pictorialism and documenting. I myself dont do any photography, but photo-manipulation is a lot of fun.
