Terrific Twitter Tweeps

With over 18 million users on Twitter, there is bound to be a few gems out there, right?  A fellow blogger on StrawberryMayo.com and Twitter friend, @catskittyns sent me some very useful and thought-provoking links and I asked her if she had any cool tweeps (Twitter peeps) to recommend.  She suggested that we do a trade of five cool tweeps and why we like them — and post them to our blogs. Great idea!  Maybe I’ll even do this as a regular feature on the blog.

This week’s list is photography inspired, as I have been obsessing over the Canon 5D that I recently added to my camera arsenal. I may be armed, but I’m not yet dangerous — which is why I have been ravenously consuming as much information about photography and Photoshop as possible.  There’s so much to learn and tons of free information on the Internet. Twitter makes it easy to find great information without having to do the googling yourself.  Just follow a few good tweeps and you’re all set. So, here are a few of my favorites:

@digitalps – Digital Photography School tweets about photography tips, reviews and announcements of camera releases. One of their recent tweets about photographing tots and toddlers was especially helpful for me!

@petapixel – PetaPixel is a photography blog, a mashup of photography links from around the web.

@photoshoptips – Links to tutorials that will teach and inspire you to really delve into that robust, but sometimes difficult program, Photoshop.

@campphotoshop – Another great source for Photoshop tutorials and resources.

@Twitter_Tips – And a helpful tweep for the rest of you non-photography types: @Twitter_Tips is a good follow if you’re interested in learning the finer points of being a good Twitter user.

Are you on Twitter?  Leave me a comment with your @username and I’ll follow you.  Who are your favorite tweeps?  Do share!
