My New Website !! Please have a look... :)

[350Wedge]

I've just set up a new website to show off some of my photo's. Its mainly just to show off some of my work but with a view to also selling prints at a later date.

Some of you may recall a while ago i was asking about template based site's. In the end i went back with Clikpic due to some additions and price changes.

I still need to add various bits of text etc but i've set up six galleries now of various subjects.

The web address is www.tsr2photography.co.uk and for those that know me and my love of aircraft the TSR2 bit does relate to our wonderful ill fated project.

All comments and suggestions are welcome, I am limited in the layout due to the template system though.

Cheers all

Nice site, great pictures. What's wrong with the layout though? Looks fine to me, even if it is using a template. Swish and swank don't do it for me anyway, speaking as a software and back-end web developer, I like simple and plain. Fonts are clear and easy on the eye, colours are good. Looks good!

HTML and CSS are very easy to learn if you'd like to do your own thing.

Site is excellent with some superb photos, only criticism is that there is no titling to the photos or explanatory notes. Otherwise it is a very clean, easy to use site. Well done.

Love the Vulcan and steam photos.

I don't mean to be a git, but how about a more colourful picture on the front, maybe one of the car ones. The piccy on there is good, and all that, but it's a bit dull for a cover page, if you know what I mean?

(Just so you know, all your piccys are infinitely better than mine, so don't think it;s me being snotty)

I like it - nice and easy to navigage.

One minor gripe - the plural of photo is photos - no apostrophe!

Thanks for the replies so far...

As i mentioned i am still working on the text bits of the site but first the plan is to get the photo's on there I want.

I will be changing the home page photo regularly as well...

I agree simple and clear is much better than flash graphics and animations.

The pictures are the focus of your website so you don't want the viewer distracted by the layout. I would echo the comments about maybe some more info about the pictures though.

Hey 350... Where, and how did you do that website... Looks like an iWeb template.

Hey there, Its all done through www.clikpic.com

Its quite simply a template based thing really. I've used it before so setting it up for a second time was a bit quicker. You can have a simple site up and running in under an hour.

It really is dead easy to do though...

Great shots,

I particularly like the Steam Gallery, oh and of course who couldn't love those shots of the Vulcan.

What Gear are you currently using?

I'm a Nikon man myself, have been since I bought a second hand Nikkormat FT3 for £50 when I was still at high school!

Again,

Congrats.

p.s. I've just started a little photography blog site, would love some comments if any of you fancy a look. - www.crispyimage.com

I did something on iWeb.. It looked similar to the templates on there...

I'm a Canon man !!

Virtually all the photo's are taken with the original Canon EOS 1D MKI, although it 'only' has 4.2 million pixels as you can see the quality i get is nothing short of stunning. Most shots are taken with Canon's 100-400F5.6L or a 70-200F2.8 L. Wide angles are taken care of by a Canon 17-40F4L

I'll have a look at your site.... Cheers
