There are a few websites that I mainly go to for photography but I always get the feeling that there are some great websites out there that I have no idea about.
So which photography websites do YOU go to all the time?
flickr and deviantart...
deviantart has too many over processed nude and landscape shots but there are some serious gems in there, like I've been flabbergasted many times while on there
and flickr...well yeh lots of well known talented people

Here are some websites I go to frequently:
www.flickr.com (http://www.flickr.com): For the same reasons as Turn
www.photozone.de (http://www.photozone.de): A great website for lens reviews.
http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/: The site is not easy to navigate, but it is a great resource for information about all the lenses Nikon has made.
www.fredmiranda.com (http://www.fredmiranda.com): I often look at their landscape forum. Lots of great work there. It is a great place to look for inspiration.
Here are some sites I do not visit often, but that do have some good information about photography:
http://www.vanwalree.com/optics.html: Lots of interesting technical information regarding optics. Many probably won't find this interesting, though.
http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/: A great site about many subjects related to photography. The pictures are also very nice.
flickr is my favourite becasue its just so easy to navigate and of course there are alot of awesome photographers there. i favourite alot of the people and groups i really like the style of and then generally click on the "my contacts" tab and scroll thru their latest images.
here is a thread with some favourite flickr photographers...

Photo.net - the place makes me feel like a failure, but... still quite impressive to view.
thephotoforum.com
Photo.net
I used to do others but got tired of them after a while. DCResource is the one I've been on longest - I was on DCResource while it was still hosted by Pair networks and using the old BBS system. That's about year 2001.

Dare I mention Ken Rockwell (http://www.kenrockwell.com/index.htm).
For some reason — and I suspect simple photography "snobbery" — Ken's site seems to draw a lot of negative criticisms, and straight out ridicule, on a couple of other forums I visit.
Personally, I find his lightweight journalistic style, often relatively 'low tech' approach, honest unbiased personal opinion, and self-deprecating sense of humour a breath of fresh air amongst all the high-tech, oh-so-serious 'gearhead' sites.
Cheers :)
