You may have already chanced upon the 26 Things Photographic Scavenger Hunt that took place worldwide throughout July. Photobloggers and photographers are now starting to submit their entries, and there are some really great submissions to be found. My personal highlight is Conscientious' selection. Other interesting entries include Sweet Surprise, thinkless, Perpetuality, razorberries, and Japan's own mediatinker and frangipani. Have any of you participated in 26 Things?

I have recently come across a number of helpful photography-related FAQs; some basic and some a little more technical.

Digital photography: why digital SLRs don't allow live preview, minimising shutter lag, and advantages of RAW mode over tiff (via 990000).

Electronic flash: high-speed and second curtain synchronization and flash troubleshooting.

Canon EOS Lenses: explaining Canon teleconverters and weighing up third-party lenses. In this more general lens FAQ, it explains how you can tell if a lens has vignetting, or if a filter is causing vignetting.

Unofficial Nikon D1 FAQ (pdf file): this contains a collection of more than 300 Frequently Asked Questions about this professional digital SLR camera from the D1scussion list.

Infrared photography: selecting infrared films and cameras. Suprisingly, digital cameras CAN do colour infra-red photography.

Callibrating your monitor and printer and gamma levels.

Explaining the Zone System for making good exposures: this answers the question as to why serious photographers still use negatives.

At last...the answer to the problem of chromatic aberration (or purple fringing) seen in the Canon G5 PowerShot digital camera.

Travel photography and the law: when you do and don't need permission.

Copyright and photography: ASMP's Copyright Guide for Photographers (pdf file) and an intellectual property law primer for multimedia developers (covering photography).

Finally, two great links: a comprehensive guide to the fully digital workflow and a lengthy selection of tips on digital dog, including colour management, achieving the best possible scans from your scanner, and calibrating your digital camera (pdf files).
