With a 3D moving subject like a face it really comes into play. On static subjects it helps a lot. I guess I need more practice but when you nail it... the Zeiss really shows off and makes it worth it

Would anyone be willing to provide c/c on my new website? I have never done one before, so this is all new to me. It still needs a lot of content, but the base is there. Andrew | Midwest Automotive

It still needs a lot of content, but the base is there. andrewsmithphoto.com A few of my concerns. 1) Front page is simple, but seems kinf of boring. I was thinking about trying to fit a button/link to my facebook on there. Less is more. 2) Automotive page - I previously had it listed as "Gallery" on the tab with a drop down for automotive and motorsport. I found that a few people clicked on gallery and didnt realize that there was a dropdown on the tab. Maybe the drop down menu wasn't as abvious as it could have been. 3) when you click the photo, it brings the photo up in the window, but exists out the of site. I tried a version where it pulls up a box, but it was difficult to get back to the webpage. Now you just have to click the back button on your browser and you are back at the page. Try LightBox 2, simply using the Esc key brings you back... http://lokeshdhakar.com/projects/lightbox2/ 4) the web address for each page isn't correct, but I think I have to dig more into permalinks. That needs to be addressed, looks unprofessional. 5) Contact page needs to be rewritten. I just put that up there so I had an idea of what it would look like. No page is better than a poorly thought out page. 6) Pricing page - I might eventually make a pricing page. But for now I am just going to be reaching out to people or answering questions through my contact form. Anything else that is glaringly obvious? Page was very slow to load for me... 50Mbit Verizon FiOS... Mike
