New Portfolio for 2009
January 4th, 2009 · 7 Comments
Happy New Year out there! For 2009, I’ve resolved to pay more attention to my portfolio (after all, this IS a photography site). I’ve added new photos and categories, and spruced up the interface a little bit. Tell me what you think!

Some nice pics in the portfolio. However, can’t say I’m enamored w/ the tilt viewer.
As I was navigating (large images) left to right & vice-versa, I couldn’t go vertically, until I was at the end of a row, and even then, it wasn’t easy. And, I wasn’t initially aware that I could ‘flatten’ the image instead of having viewing it at an angle, which wasn’t ideal.
It was only by accident that I clicked outside the images to shrink them back to the thumbnail to discover it was easier to navigate the images. But I have a headache

I wondered if that was more of an annoying gimmick than an artistic feature. I’m continuing to work on it.

The new pictures really show sports photography at it’s best. I agree, remove the tilt feature. I really would like to isolate a picture by clicking on it to see it framed by itself. Then a normal click through slide show.

Tried a more conventional approach – I think this works much better.

Much cleaner and easier to navigate. Is there any way to have the navigation part of the frame (upper right, left/right arrow, “X”, etc) remain static? If I’m scrolling thru the images, I like to just click my mouse button. But when the pix change from landscape to portrait, I have to move as the picture position changes…

Perfect now. Easy to navigate. Nice large thumbnails. Attractive fade into larger pictures. Oh yeah – and some awesome from the goal post and above the goal post action for basketball. I noticed that 85mm f/2.0 was indicated on some shots. An 85 mm f/1.4 or f/1.8 must have been in your old camera bag arsenal. Nice shots.

Yep, 85/f1.8. Still have it, but it has terrible CA compared to more modern glass. Nikon needs to re-release it with an ED element or two to bring it up to date, and AF-S of course.
