I'm trying to fix it stop being so impatient =) How do you do an image link then?!!!

You may wanna start with linking one or two... nobody's probably gonna sit through all of those loading, unless you have the cure for cancer somewhere in there.

you never know =) hehe

I can't edit the post anymore- I think my forum account has been frozen for submitting too many edits in a certain amount of time.

I had a bit of a look (had really issues loading the images - in the end just went to the root directory and loaded pictures manually).

There are some really cool things happening here. I really like 'lighthouse' and to some degree super star. One thing that did stand out was a lack of shading. You have very thin lines and a lot of white space with minimal amount of shading and black in between. Try getting the dark lines darker and shading a little more.

Interesting to see photos of Sydney. I've got a couple on my website under the photo category if you wanna have a look.

I checked out your website Matt, and thanks for the comments- despite the stuff ups! I wish I could fix the original post but it won't let me anymore!

Your photo of the Opera house steps was taken only a couple of meters down the steps from where I took mine! What a coincidence! The photo of the building on Macquarie Street in the Sydeny CBD looks so much like a computer render, and not a photo. Funny that!

I think the best thing I can do is ask people to pop across to my website manually and browse around until I am allowed to edit the original post so that all the little previews come up here.

Thanks Matt

Yes I've noticed that in my work alot recently. It's a nervous barrier that I need to jump over- I guess I don't feel confident enough to put any 'permenant' marks on the page unless I'm 100% sure they're correct (which is next to never...)

I guess copious hours of practice is the only key to the solution. Thanks for pointing it out- I'm glad it's just not me.

wow i just luuuuv your b&w photographies

JaffaCAke · Posted: Sat Oct 14, 2000 6:30 pm

your photography is exelent. you have a real eye for views. Not sure if its just the way you scan em or your focus but they dont seem sharp enough. Well the ones I looked at dont.

Thanx seas & JaffaCAke, I do enjoy taking photographs, one day I'd love to do a world trip and see what I can bring back on film. I only started taking photos 3 months ago, when I bought my first camera to give it a go. So glad I did!

It's the JPEG compression that makes the images look fuzzy Jaffa, I aimed to save each one around 60k, but the original photos are crisp as an atlantic morning in winter.

Next roll here we come! =)
