After many years of neglect, I finally decided to spend some money and have my business website redesigned. I was rather pleased with it when I had a Canadian web designer create my site about six years ago and I got a lot of complements from clients and friends but as web design software became better, my site soon became looking very primitive. When I just had the site redesigned, I told the designer, I wanted to retain the original design but I just wanted the picture gallery browser brought up to date. There is still some more tweaking I need to have done but basically it is done. If you want to see my redesigned site, go here http://www.claudesphoto.com

Your comments will be very much appreciated

Very nice. Very clean looking site. It gives one a very positive impression of your capabilities. I would have liked the images to zoom up a little larger though.

So do you still shoot any film?

According to http://validator.w3.org/ the HTML doesn't validate (I only checked the main page). Also, I'm not generally a fan of Flash when HTML would work just as well and not require that viewers have the Flash plugin installed.

Your photographs are excellent! Agreed that it would be nice if they could be viewed larger, however.

Thank you all for your very nice comments. One of the first thing I said to my web designer after he had emailed me one of the pages and seen what he had done was " I like what you had done but Is there a chance you can make the selected image larger? He said he could but not very much. I assume he tried making the selected image larger but I could not see any difference. I guess I will have to be satisfied with what I got because he gave me a real good deal. John told me the problem with the small image was the software he had used to redesign my site.

Steve, the last time I shot film was about three years ago at my cousin's wedding when I wanted to include some real neat "Fisheye" shots in the coverage. The D200 camera I use will not allow me to use my old manual focus 16mm fisheye 2.8 Nikkor so I had shot the extreme wide angle shots with a my old F100 35mm film camera. After the film was processed, the negatives were all scanned and digital files were made from them You can see one of the pictures I shot with the fisheye lens with my film camera on my wedding page at my site. It is the outdoor shot of the ceremony.
