Great site Alfred.
You do still have a couple of gremlins. On the front page, the links to 'new site layout', 'Brunei photo gallery', and 'Kota Belud photo gallery' are all trying to link to a page on your hard drive ! (links show up as file:///c:/website/root/.....). Aside from that, you've obviously put a lot of effort (and time) into the site. You have also managed to avoid two common faults of having too many gimmicks, and over-fancy screen layouts. 'Keep it simple' - well done. Small point - I have been advised to keep images on the web down to a max 400 pixels on the longest side to hold load times down as far as possible. Might be worth considering next time (!) you redesign... I missed the start of this string, but there was obviously some debate about digital SLRs. I have recently converted to Nikon D100, and sold off my 35mm bodies before Xmas. I have absolutely no worries about the switchover (I can still use my old lenses !!), but confess that I have found the ability to muck about with images is a little addictive. I check the contrast, balance, cropping etc on everything I do now, so the money I save in processing costs are somewhat outweighed by this. Its just a question of discipline I guess (but its such good fun - I can crop anything I like *before* its printed). I haven't yet updated my photo site to reflect any of this - a job for the new year. But I will - I have a load of shots from Kilimanjaro and Tarangire NR to sort out. I have a load on our family website at http://www.tomalin.org/charles/tanzania/index.htm. I will re-organise the 'good ones' onto the photo site soon.

I'm not sure it would be worth the tradeoff of having a much larger camera to carry around (having one that easily fits in my pants pocket is very nice). Size (and cost) is what makes me hesitate about upgrading to a DSLR. The camera I'm currently using (the Oly 5050) has an F1.8 lens and is a good compromise between quality and portability. Having a DSLR would give me usable ISO 400 and perhaps 800 settings, but I rarely need that sensitivity. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm - Photos from Myanmar, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Nepal, Egypt, Austria, Budapest and Portugal |

I just finished doing a major redesign of my travel photography site: http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm Basically the site now has a much improved user interface (is based for the first time on CSS) and there is an internal advanced search which generates among others pages with thumbnails in the search results. Comments and feedback are welcome. Alfred, I saw some impressive pictures while looking for any from Africa, but couldn't find any. Where are they?

Small point - I have been advised to keep images on the web down to a max 400 pixels on the longest side to hold load times down as far as possible. And would reduce theft too. Well, I already reduced image size to 720x540 from 800 x 600 about a year ago, and probably won't go further down. These images contain a lot of detail and wouldn't display properly in even smaller sizes. Also, there is an overall trend to higher speed Internet connections and larger screens - I've had people suggesting that I increase image size. The choice of image size is a balance between bandwidth, screen size, copyright considerations and size needed to represent the detail. The standard size on my site is for instance 720 x 540, but panoramas are up to 1024 pixels wide. But overall I limit image size to around 400000 pixels. By the way, I fixed all broken links and added a travelogue of our Egypt trip in December 2003 (we returned a few days ago). -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de/Galleries.htm |
