About
What's the site all about?
Basically it's my place on the web where I can display my Photographs. I can show my favourite shots, provide photographic guides to places I have visited and upload personal pictures of my friends.
Who designed the site?
I'm pleased to say I have done it all from start to finish, I haven't used any pre made templates, and have designed the site using H.T.M.L, C.S.S and more recently P.H.P. All with a little help from Dreamweaver.
What equipment do you use?
Many of the early photographs on this site were taken with a Nikon 5200 'point and shoot'. I loved that camera and still use it at times when its not practical to take bulkier kit. One of my favourite shots from 2008 was taken using my Nikon 5200, snowboarding on Cypress Mountain.
In March 2007 I upgraded to a DSLR, and now shoot the majority of my photographs with a Cannon EOS 400D. I have two lenses; the EFS 18-55mm and my most recent purchase the EFS 55-250mm.
What about the photographs do you alter them?
In short yes - but not a lot. I'm using Photoshop CS2 to enhance the colour and clone out any distracting features. I crop and sharpen the finished photo.
What future plans do you have for this site?
Absolutely loads, besides putting more and more interesting photographs on the site and getting more people to visit I want to do things using P.H.P technology. I hope to be able to create a search feature, enable visitors to send a photograph as an e-postcard, and create a fully working guestbook.
How long has the site been running?
It's been going in some form or another since March 2005. I can't believe it has taken me this long to get this far. I wish I'd taken screen shots of the site at different stages and you could see its humble (bad) past.
What if I want a photograph from the site?
You can buy most of the photographs featured on the site. The prints won't cost you much as I will only be charging enough to cover my expenses. There will also be a small additional charge added, which will be donated to charity. For more details about buying photographs, please visit the prints page.
Can I add some of my photographs to the site?
Yes you can, I am keen to start a 'contributors gallery' The photograph will be credited to you and I can provide a link back to your site (if you have one). An example display format can be seen here.
Anything else to add?
I just wanted to say thanks for visiting my site, please leave me a message using the contact form to let me know you have been here. Also if you like the site and are a facebook user you can add this site as a link on your profile, just click here and follow the instructions.
Cheers Bryn
