Welcome to the Dudeworld Photography Section.


Here we are going to cover everything to do with digital photography from choosing a cam, accessories, graphics editors and how to use it all.

We will also give you some red hot tips to improve your picture taking skills out of sight as well as showing you how to improve your pictures on the computer after you've shot them. In the usual Dudeworld style, everything presented here is in an easy to understand format and written in plain english. We cut through the crap to show you the stuff that really matters.
