Hi all :wavey:

Haven't taken up my camera in earnest for about 3-4 months now due to baby/work commitments etc, but have re-done my website and now have all my puffin images from Skomer in the summer on there if anyone wants to take a look.

http://www.marksellings.com

Please let me know comments etc on whether you like it/improvements/suggestions/problems and so on - also if anyone wants a reciprocal link just let me know,

Keep up the good work - I hope to get back into the photography thing soon and try and take a look at NPN when I can,

:rolleyes:

Looking good, although I do find that white text on a light grey background is alittle hard to see, try looking at this website for slightly darker shades of grey

You appear to have put in alot of really hard work on the site, people don't always appreciate how much time it takes to make a website
so here's to you :toast:

I know what you're going through Mark!

Since my son Daniel arrived 5 months ago i've been out with the camera about 4 times and like you have been working on my new look website (not currently online) usually late at night when he has finally gone to sleep, scanning and keywording all the slides is the hardest bit and at the moment there is just no light at the end of the tunnel, i'm also building my site for the future I've always been interested in doing Garden Photography too so am encomassing this in to my website as well not that I have many garden pics yet.

Hi Mark,

A very professional looking site and beautiful pics to match. One of the Bittern shots 'Bittern with pike', only half the image showed so I don't know if the problem is at your end or mine. I live very close to where you took that and the damn thing still hasn't turned up!

All in all a great site.

Regards Chris.

Hi Mark

I have just taken a look around your website. Generally it is very good and I like the straightforward and uncluttered appearance. Easy to navigate, and the presentation of images is well done.

My only nits would be the white on grey text is a bit difficult to read, and some of the fonts are a bit small. I would try some alternative shades to find one that is a bit easier on the eye.

Otherwise a nicely constructed and organised site with some super images. I enjoyed your Skomer Puffins, it reminds me of my last visit to the islands in 2005, what a great location.

:toast:

cheers

Your site is awesome. I don't know if you did it yourself or had someone do it for you. In either case the work paid off. Excellant job:)
