Manufacturers have Web sites that provide product information and often other fea-
tures that can be helpful. For example:
■ Nikon provides considerable technical information, such as their introduction
to digital cameras, “Who’s Afraid of Digital Cameras?”
(www.nikon.co.jp/main/index_e.htm).
■ Polaroid’s Artist’s Studio has an extensive collection of work by artists using
Polaroid materials. (www.polaroid.com)Other Sites
Individuals and organizations have Web sites large and small, dealing with every-
thing from the art of pinhole photography (www.pinhole.com) to all about Kirlian pho-
tography (www.kirlian.com).Your Own Virtual Gallery
You can create your own Web page. Do you have photographs you’d like to show to
a wider audience?
A personal Web page is one way to do so. Most Internet service providers let their
subscribers have their own Web page—that part is easy. Now all you have to do is
create your own page or pay someone else to do so. The simplest pages contain text
plus photographs and graphics (see Figure 23.5). More advanced designs can include
music, video, and animation. You will want to investigate different software pro-
grams that are available for building Web sites, such as Microsoft FrontPage,
Macromedia Flash and Dreamweaver.344 ABSOLUTE BEGINNER’S GUIDE TODIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
