Website Development

Today I have been developing the website,.. adding on more thumbnails and pages so that the site supports 20 images rather than 10 which seemed a little too few to be cohesive. I also played around with the order to try to find a sequence that worked in order and as a whole. I tried to start and end strongly and to mix the composition and subjects to keep the sequence dynamic.

More from the Pentax. 400 ISO film.

Trying out some shots with more emphasis on other parts but the face,.. such as hands and objects like photo frames. I tried out my close up x3 filter on the Pentax which allowed me to focus really close,.. however the focus seems to be a bit out on some of the images which I used the filter for,.. and the grain seems increased.

I have also taken a film on my Holga just to play around with some medium format. However it apparently takes up to 2 weeks to get back so I prob won't see the results before the conclusion of the project which is a shame.

I found this website whilst looking for inspiration for some further development ideas for my project. There is a wide variety of work but some is really interesting.

I really like the image above,.. it made me think maybe I should try some night photography to add variation to my series,... though I'm not sure if this would work with the rest of the images.

Web design. I wanted to do some web design as part of this project,.. possibly as a final piece, since I think it's a useful skill and one I have been wanting to develop since the Web design project. I wanted to create a very simple design to display my images at their best. The design is simple so as not to distract from the images but I wanted it to be easy to navigate so I used a hover thumbnail menu as well as "last" and "next" arrows. I also created an Info page for any text I want to accompany the images.

So far its I've got the site functioning with 10 image pages, an info, and a thumbnails page. I need to add more info and play around with my choice and order of images for the series.

I used J-Edit for the HTML and CSS edit for the CSS.
