Long time no

Well, you've got an eye for color and composition.
However:
Stand by for assrape over the exposure rate and lighting from our resident photogs.

It's a good start.

you showed this to /p/? they would have ripped it apart, mainly for:

site made in flash, looks like a pre made template type, doesn't suit a portfolio site with the whole sliding menu thing as a main component, and having mixed landscape and portrait orientated shots makes the whole slide menu look kinda messy.

content wise, nothing exciting, just snapshots. You need to cut a lot out, having multiple pics of the same shot but with different editing looks poor. Simplify it, cut it down to one gallery, with only 4 or 5 categories. people get bored easily and won't trawl through 10 different folders, some with sub categories, keep the cross referencing for your own library but when the same image keeps cropping up in different galleries it will annoy people.

technically wise, exposure seems generic, no experimenting with over/under exposure, selectively using available light on for subjects, what camera do you use? i get the "shot on auto" feeling, try switching to aperture or shutter priority depending on subject if you have a dslr. a lot of the shots would have benefited from a smaller depth of field to isolate the subject or bring out the foreground and blur the background in a more natural way or a faster shutter speed to make subjects sharper, especially the moving ones.

basically, simplify, cut it down down, people will like a site with a few good strong images rather than a lot of weak ones, and make it really simple to switch rather than having categories and subcategories, that's micro-stock territory.

personally, I have one place that I upload everything, one place that has a limit of 200 images so I try and upload only strong shots, and get rid of weaker ones if I run out of space and really want a new shot uploaded, and one place that has a limit of 4 galleries with only 18 images per gallery, that way only the "best" shots get shown.

like tak said, it's a good start, but put some work into it now.

^ I love shooting my DSLR on aperture priority. That meeping selector hardly ever moves from there.

Also, Stump, good advise above.

My favorite ones were in the "Misc" category in gallery #1. The photographs are all excellent composition, color, and presentation, but also mostly uninspired and kind of lackluster.

When you are marketing a product or service you usually should think "What are my differentiators? What would make someone pick my product/service over my competitors?"

And then highlight that difference. Yes, "cheaper", and "available" can be considered differentiators.

By uninspired I mean there is little there that any other decent professional or competant amateur photographer could do, there is no differentiator, style, or personality (or evidence that you are 'cheaper' or 'available').

Figure out what it is that makes your work stand out, what makes it yours, what you offer that no one else can, and get rid of the rest - no matter how beautifully composed and exposed those pieces might be.

why you try fit inside box? box is small and ugly. i see each photo 1000 time before.

The pictures on your home page should be the ones you consider the best, or the ones that capture your style the best. I would keep a couple of the good bird ones up but take the lesser ones off the home page, move the picture of the meep back, I'd even take all the pictures of people off the home page 'cause it makes me wonder why you took them. And any picture that doesn't look perfect or has a big flaw shouldn't be on your home page, I'd move the one of the bridge up and the picture of the mustang grill though

In short: Nice pictures, look through all them, find the best ones, put them on new home page.

Thanks on the advice. It is a CSS template, I don't have the skills to program a site, I had to put the second gallery up because a single one flowed past the scroll bar and you couldn't click them.
They were shot mostly in aperture priority with a lot of them around f6.3 or f8 for the nature shots, it tends to be the sharpest with most of my lenses. I actually have to send it out for repair, my front dial that I used for ev compensation in AP is meeped and jumps on me. The work around leads me to setting f stop in AP, switching to SP for compensation then to manual for shutter speed - it sucks meep. I'm not sure I get what you mean about using the under/overexposure though.
I'll rework the galleries to cut down categories, I was thinking multiple categories so people could go specifically to what interests them rather than having to troll through say all the bird shots for a specific type.
What made the misc. your favorite category? Is it a preference for the subjects over nature/landscape images? I admit to not having a 'style', I guess right now it's a 'it is what it is' style for the most part? The site itself is just there to do something with my stuff other than just sit there, I'd be thrilled if someone wanted to buy something but I'm not expecting it to happen, I'm hoping just for more feedback like this as far as the contact page goes.

I think /p/ is softening up, out of the six or seven sites in that thread they had very little to say - we were either all lackluster or they were too busy gearmeeping I guess.

Thanks guys.

'Misc' was just a little bit more 'arty', and consequently had a little more style than the random snapshots that made up most of the other categories. That is all, nothing in particular. Not all professional photographers should do 'arty' stuff all the time. There is a big market for stock photos of things, and creatures, and people, it is probably the bread and meeper of the photography industry.

I liked the part where you gave us a vector to social engineer some meepery in your direction.
