A New Year!
Thursday, January 4th, 2007To start off this brand new year, we now have a brand new website!
Some pages are still under construction for now as we transfer everything, but we have decided against going with a flash site and to stick with our regular XHTML and CSS.
With the new look and the new year, we will have more information available, from equipment to techniques to books and beyond. We will be starting our article section that will hold articles, tips and tricks that have worked for us.
New colors, new layout and hopefully soon a new gallery program that will make searching much easier for our visitors, and captioning and keywording much easier for us.
And while we are doing things a new way, I’d like to give credit where it is due. I saw a better way to keep track of image id’s, than to just have the image number listed in the title section. The thanks and credit goes to Frans Lanting or whomever decided to include the image id on the image itself, along with copyright notice. This makes great sense! And between Frans’ website and John Shaw’s book, Business of Nature Photography, A Professional’s Guide to Marketing and Managing a Successful Nature Photography Business, I have learned a much better way to organize, number and categorize my images. I had been trying different ways, but was not quite happy, especially trying to remember everything. So, the new way is easier, faster and much more efficient. I love when I get help and ideas from professionals I admire, even if they don’t know they are helping me!
