I made my own promotion web page

Here it is:

Feedback welcome, go easy on me though!

I put it together using the CSS template here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/holygrail
It sits on my own domain, of course, and I am hosting the images there too.

Hi Jonathan

Love your photos - especially the puffin with the camomile flowers - gorgeous! I also had a look at the moon tree - had to laugh as I took one like that in Feb although the moon was actually sitting on the branch! I love taking photos and am very enthusiastic - but I only have an olympus that is probably termed as a compact but it has all the features in the sub menus to change the settings individually. Haven't got enough sales here yet to get one of the biggies!

Got a thread on here that is to discuss Photography - don't know if you have popped down there lately?

I would say feel free to use it as a template for you own page, but that would require some html skills. Thanks for the compliment
I should add a link to the page where I got the CSS template.

I believe the moon photo was taken with my 5MP Nikon 5700 hybrid, they can be had for about £150 or less now. You don't need a big DSLR to take great photos, just a camera with a decent lens - the small compacts cannot produce the same quality of images due to the physical limitations of the small lens area and the way light travels through it, in my opinion anyway.. there will always be a little vignetting or distortion towards the corners. Of course, some compacts come with slightly fatter lenses so they go some way to improving things, but there's no bettering the even fatter lens of a hybrid or SLR!

Looks like you already found it tho!

My compact has quite a fat lens for its size - and I am pleased with some of the effects I can get - I do have an old SLR that I bought back long ago with my first months wages, but I don't have the steady hands I had then so by the time I got the film developed I'd find the photos were all blurred. (I love sharp details) I get quite inspired by photography and see pictures everywhere, I feel it is like instant painting, but just doesn't take as long (I do paint too but don't have the time nowadays!) At least there is one good thing - my camera just about fits in my handbag so I can take it almost everywhere!

Well, there is such a thing as a tripod you know Been in use for, well, as long as cameras have been as the first ones had very slow exposure times.
If you go to car boot sales (or yard sales / flea markets in the US) you can probably pick one up very cheaply.

Tripods? Don't fit in my handbag!!

I did try one out on my old SLR but for some unknown reason the hole for the tripod on the camera was on one end of the camera - which is very heavy (manufactured circa 1979) so as soon as you loosened your grip a bit - it fell over!

Not up to much of carrying things that heavy now - although I still have it - I've just had spine surgery so I am sticking with the lighter type.
