Hi I've put a new website together for my photography It'd be great if some of you could have a look and let me know what you think..... it's also hard to check it's all running smoothly as I'm currently on a really slow dialup connection..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's running great on my firefox i like the barbwire fence picture have you thought out yet what to do when you want to put alot of pictures, how to categorize? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
thanks :) yep, i'll definitely be categorising them in some way, but at the moment i'm just keeping it simple with a few photos...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
some nice photographs there... why spoil them by writing "RESERVED RSRVD.CO.UK" on big white letters over them? : ( |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
To promote the site and to help deter people from nicking 'em ;) |

i love the tree one |

awesome photos. i want more |
||||||||
|
|

site is alright, the photos range from being alright to looking like they come from a barclaycard worker's holiday album when they were feeling a bit arty |
||||||||

Why? Wouldn't you want people to grab them and use them as a desktop? It would get seen a lot more. Honestly, these are very nice, but I don't think I'll go to your site again, just won't happen. I'll have forgotten about it. If these pictures were bigger and without the labels on the side, I'd have one as my desktop right now. But no, thats 'nicking'. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sure, sure... but to me, this (and also the fact that you can't see them in big resolution) feels like saying : "hey look here's a pretty photograph—OK NOW VISIT MY SITE AND DON'T YOU TRY TO STEAL THE PICTURES, THEY'RE MINE!". ...what's more important : the photographs themselves, or the fact that you took them? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, i know what you're saying, but i do want to keep the labels in the corner for promotion - i think that's fair enough as for the size, i suppose i'd eventually like to have the option on the site for the user to download a larger, higher quality image, but as it stands i've tried to keep it simple for the time being and i think it's more important to have smaller images for download for the time being..... anyway, glad you like them, and if you give me your email i'd be more than happy to send you the larger files... |

which one do you want? i'm on dialup, so i'd prefer not to send all of them right now..... |
||||||||
|

(you can have more than one, or even all of them if you really want) |

the powerlines. that would be great :) |

I like the panoramic shot and the bottom-right photograph. Lovely colours on that last one. Dunno what you were thinking including the top-right and bottom-center images though. They are visually boring. Am I also right to assume there is a fair bit of post-processing on these shots? This isn't a problem, but those skies look a bit unnatural. That may be the effect you're looking for though. |
||||||||

I'm sorry to say, but i don't think the style of the website goes very well with the style of the photos. Other than that, some of the photos are pretty awesome. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
(referring specifically to the photos with sky in) - there was a lot of post processing in the tower bridge photo, not actually that much in the others.... in the pylons photo i used a polarising filter, which made the clouds "pop", and i've done some levels adjustments in all of them to bring the sky out a bit, but not that much has been done really. the battersea and vauxhall bridge photos have had very little done to them at all. |
||||||||
|

|
|
cool :) it's the first website i've ever made, and i'm no graphic designer, so it probably doesn't "go" with the photos that well. if you have any suggestions as to how i could improve it i'd be interested to know..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i definately agree with that statement. |
||||||||

Just have some thoughts about what your photos express, and try to emulate that in the design. It doesn't really do that now. Make it simpler, but more sleek. Like, when you hover over the photos, it should fade to blurry, rather than turn instantly blurry. The colours, red and yellow. Your photos are more earth colours, grey and black in my eyes. The design of the site looks wacky and funny, but the photos are a totally different style. Maybe a far more square design, thats just really sleek and cool, with a little tekst maybe. I dunno. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool - i think i know where you're coming from and i do know what you mean - i suppose the photos are less manic than the site design suggests.... do you have any sites i could look at as an example? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmmm.... Nothing comes to mind right now. Sorry!!! Maybe i can think of something later. Good luck! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cool, no worries :) i'll give it some thought |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

The website looks cool and the photos are pretty. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I really like the pics (especially the tree one) and I also like the website design, but as DP says, I think the website doesn't really suit the mood of the photos. Maybe a more muted palette and slightly less cartoony frames on the thumbnails? From a technical POV, the page works fine on my IE6 machine (which has a pop up blocker installed). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Thanks Ceri :) Yeah, I reckon I'm going to have a rethink on the design..... it shouldn't be too hard to make a few changes now ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
....just a quick bump - although the site's still very basic, i've tidied it up a bit and i think it's looking better..... in the longer term, i'm planning on making it a lot slicker, but for the time being this'll probably be ok..... |
||||||||

it's magnificent man, pro pictures. Me like alot |

I've got some new photos on here now, and have removed the logos from all but one of them (the Ullswater one - I will get round to removing it from that one too when I have a chance). |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Much MUCH better!!! I had something like that in mind :P |
||||||||

30 250kb pics in 7 months and 5 days. that gives you about 0.75 b/s. way to go |
