What's your favorite bookmarked web sites?

[Telecorder]

I thought that it would be a good thread to start and canvas members for their favorite bookmarked web sites that they've found had helpful and useful information that they've found assisted in their understanding and furthered their experience in becoming a better photographer.

In deference to Steve's, please do not post links to commercial sites for specific equipment/software/items etc but rather to informative/educational informational sites. In this manner we can all share and perhaps bookmark/point to this thread for new digi owners to further their learning curve as well.

Please post the URL followed by a concise and brief overview/indication of the site's useful info that you feel assisted you. It would be helpful if you would space the links for easier reading...If you would, pleaseclick on thelink that interests you, check out the info and bookmark the new site on your browser if you feel its worthwhile...

A neat site with up-to-date information at various sites with 48-hour forecasts for cloud cover, winds, atmospheric seeing conditions for hour-by-hour intervals. Primarily for astronomical users but good for us photo shooters to see if it will be worth the drive...

Both places have the kind of people who will help you out and if you ask they will use easy to understand words not CAMERA TALK.
