Hey Gang,

I just gave my site a little love...would you mind taking a peek...especially the opening gallery, and the wedding/featured wedding gallery.

-Too many pics, not enough?
-Any pics that suck?
-Comments?

Thanks for any input, especially criticism! :)

The opening images are great...one cavet though you might want to scale them down..I have a 19" that Im running at 1600x1200 and the images look like they didnt fit that..lower resolutions monitors are going to be missing quite a bit of the images.

When it ceases to be fun, it will be time to walk away

Very nice Rob. I like the appearance of your site because it's simple and easy to navigate. I thought maybe the images are a little larger than needed and the thumbs just a tad on the small side. Other than that it is very nice. Would you kindly share your typical outdoor portrait lighting setup? Thanks.

I have to agree, I love the site easy to navigate and cool to see see full screen pictures with the menu bar still visable.
Great work !
Looks really good on a 24" wide screen

I really like your site. It is very easy to navigate and all the necessary information is present. I love the images. I like your style. Especially the senior portraits...not corny at all :D.

Thanks gang for the feedback. I usually light the outdoor portraits (all seniors too) with a 550 flash off camera with a 12 inch softbox triggered via P-Wizards...shot in Manual mode.

Nice website. I like the colors and how easy to navigate around the site.

But, it seems to load slow and the slideshow transition time is very slow.

I am not a big fan of semi-grainy images or soft focus lenses, so that is a personal preference.

I would remove the streamer shot in the opening gallery. Looks like a low budget wedding. Picture isn't bad, but location I guess.

The pictures of the vows? I don't see it adding anything. Just looks like a crumpled piece of paper without a interesting angle or depth of field.

I did look at your blog and thought you have images that were more interesting than the ones on your site.

I could not find a way to turn off the music so I left :oops:

HATE the music LOVE the photos. I wish you could make it optional.
Easy to navigate and nice big pictures - I was surprised you didn't watermark them.
You are a great photographer and your site looks very professional and high class.
