As a followup to my first “old stuff” link roundup.  Just in case you missed ‘em the first time around, here are some great links that have been sitting in my bookmark folder for some time

• Spatial Relationships and Distortion – a great post from Jeff over at Beyond Megapixels who gives a striking illustration of the effect of focal length on percieved spatial relationships.  Ever wondered what exactly photographers mean when they say a long lens “compresses” a scene?  or why longer focal lengths are preferred over shorter for portraiture?  All your rquestions answered here.
• Flickr add-ons and Mashups from Photojojo. I’m a big fan of flickr (see feed in the sidebar!) and have posted some great addons before, but here’s another nice roundup of tools and sites to make your flickr-ing even better.
• Also from Photojojo – 101 photoshop tips in 5 minutes. This will crack you up, and you’ll probably pick up a PS trick or two…
• Using lightroom & PS to quickly extract a subject from background in an image – from O’reilly.  There are any number of ways of doing extractions for composites or whathaveyou… Here’s a quick-and-dirty trick using lightroom and PS to “knock out your subject”!
