Couple of updates…

Posted on 09. Nov, 2009 by Chris in Blog, Site News

New site designs up and working nicely. Might still play around with the logo at the top when I’m bored. I’m starting to go back through all my old shots and retouch them with some new techniques I’ve picked up, so expect some ‘new’ shots appearing soon. Autumns here and I think it’ll be the perfect time to try and dabble in some HDR photography as well as capture some great colours and landscapes. I’ll try and get some regular new content going every few days, might even look into starting up a discussion forum in the future too.

New design on its way…

Posted on 15. Oct, 2009 by Chris in Blog, Site News

I’m not dead – just been a hectic few weeks! Busy working on a new design too (yes – an even newer one!) which will look the shizzle. So if the site looks weirdly broken over the next couple of days – don’t panic, it’s just the birth of something beautiful :)

Haven’t had chance to take any new photos yet sadly. However this weekend I’ll get out somewhere and take some :) .

Lightroom and housekeeping…

Posted on 16. Sep, 2009 by Chris in Blog, Site News

After finally sitting down and playing around with Lightroom, I’ve just about managed to get the hang of it and am getting alot more out of my shots now than with just passing them through Picasa. So to celebrate this I deleted all my Flickr pictures. Yep, all of em. Instead, I’ve uploaded the ones I enhanced with Lightroom which are infinitely better. Also I’ve re-done my Portfolio to include the new shots. Hope you all enjoy them! Comments as always are welcome.

Site Update…

Posted on 15. Sep, 2009 by Chris in Blog, Site News

As you can see I’ve changed to a new template. This one has a rotating banner at the top, which gives me more room to showcase my photos. I’m also working on a Portfolio page where I’ll show my best work in hi-res, whereas the Gallery will show all the photos I upload to Flickr which gets reduced in size automatically. So watch this space…

Toys, toys and more toys…

Posted on 13. Sep, 2009 by Chris in Blog, Ramblings, Site News

Havn’t been out shooting this week, instead I’ve been buying new toys to compliment my new hobby :) So far I’ve bought a polarising filter and a HP Photosmart printer and have a new lens on it’s way (a Sigma 70-300mm APO lens). Just glad the missus isn’t biting my head off at every step! :D Once my new lens gets here I’ll go out do some more shooting, hopefully with better results!

Flickr Photostream

Posted on 01. Sep, 2009 by Chris in Blog, Site News

I’ve now set up a Flickr account and set the blog to stream all my photos from there. Should make life easier to upload photos and let you guys comment on them :D You can view the gallery as normal or access my photostream directly here.

Enjoy,

Chris
