So I finally decided I should stop just using flickr, and make a proper website, the way I want it, for my photography. As I'm in year 12, I was able to work this into my schooling, and do most of it in class time, BONUS! I based it around my main camera, a Nikon D300s, as I wanted something original and individual to me, and I think I pulled it off pretty well. This is my first time using CSS, and my first time in 5 years I've coded anything, so I'm pretty pleased with it. If anyone has any C&C etc, really looking forward to hearing it, thanks in advance, Callum. http://www.rcallum.com
Nice, it looks good. On my display there was quite a lot of dead space at the top of the screen, it might be worthwhile trying to make that a relative distance rather than an absolute distance. Also try making a depressed button image for the bar on the left so the user knows what page he's on.
I know I'm routinely the downer here, but I'm fairly certain the design of the D300 is protected by Nikon's copyright. The screen and layout you are using is instantly recognizable as a D series screen and I would think that they might have issues with that. Can you get away with it? sure. But don't be surprised if you get a notice from them should they ever stumble across it. That being said, the imagery looks great. Keep up the work.
In the bottom left hand corner, there is a thing from SiteMeter, and I'm not sure about the position of the page, something seems a bit "off". Other than that I think its a fairly good site, a very nice idea. What is bugging me though, is on your light-painting section you've managed to create a "globe" how the did you do that? I thought poi originally but that can't possibly work, I love 24/30
LED light and a string. A few swings in one direction, turn a few degrees and do it again. Lather, rinse, repeat.
On my 1680*1050 laptop screen there is too much empty space on top, make that relative and not absolut. Other then that it is a nice looking website. How did you do the lightpainting with all the sparks? Thats really nice!
