For some people, photography is a hobby, for others – work. But it doesn’t matter if it’s your free time activity or a way to earn money, the most important things about photography are passion and dedication. At first sight, it might seem a quite simple pastime, but it has some difficult aspects – the photographer has to choose the right camera, lenses, accessories, he has to understand a technical part about photography.

That’s not all. What is more complicated – editing, retouching and making the final versions of photos. It doesn’t matter if you are new to photography or an experienced photographer, you will always have to improve and learn something new.

Here are websites, tutorials, podcasts and other resources that will be useful for everyone associating life with photography.
