What's the best photography "how-to" Web site?

Answer 1

I would actually suggest, http://flickr.com. A lot of Photographers, alot of help! Especially alot of groups for every little camera, film, anything you need help, it's there!

Answer 2

If you are looking into portraiture, I can help you.

If you are a DYI'er (or rich) check this out for lighting:
http://www.photoflexlightingschool.com/Lighting_Lessons/index.html

This has many good tutorials too on lighting:

The reason I gave you lighting links is because lighting is essentially the number one most important thing when it comes to taking great pictures. Should you want to learn about Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed, Exposure, etc you can Google it, I found many sites, but unless you want to mess with them, I'd stick to an Automatic Setting (ie. camera chooses the above) with those and adjust your lighting.

Just remember to use Daylight aka Full Spectrum (florescent) bulbs. Tungsten (ie. normal household bulbs), halogen bulbs, and fluorescent bulbs will make your models look orange, or turquoise, etc. Daylight bulbs create a much whiter light.

Answer 3

I won't say its the "best" but you can find a lot of information at AIRC-Adorama Imaging Resource Center.
