I got a request from a fellow member of ours rlz01
He wish for us to hold some activities about techniques when it comes to photograph, sadly I don’t have time for setting anything like that up in the chatroom at the moment so I went for a huge hunt after  tutorial, blog entry’s, journals and everything around that.

I have found thing and I have split then up into these categories: Macro and/or Close-up and General Photography, I have also found some good things about Macro Lenses and other things worth looking at so here it goes.
