Renovation

I had some great feedback regarding my blog from some fellow photographers this week. I received mostly good comments, but one perturbing piece of news to me was the length of time that images were taking to load for others to view. Of course, the images are stored in a cache on any computer I use, so they load almost instantaneously - but for Joe Public the images were taking up to 20 seconds to load, which as one critique mentioned "will be enough to bore your viewers after the first image". So this week I spent some time resizing all the clickable images to a 1:1.5 ratio and also reducing the images to a more manageable size. I hope the uniform size is more appealing to the eye and that the photographs load a little quicker for you now. I am still a little unsure about the size that they are displayed at - maybe I need a little time to get used to the smaller format.
If anybody has any comments regarding the images, the blog etc, whether good or bad, feel free to drop me an email at photographybyalex@gmail.com - all constructive criticism is welcome!

I am hoping to get out and about again after the weekend and have a couple of DIY photography projects in mind to keep me out of mischief - including a 'ground pod', my own low budget version of the r-strap and a customised feeding pole for some back garden bird pictures.

I also need to redesign my header this week... imagine my surprise when I googled myself and found another Woodruff Photography! When I looked at their website I can see that they have been around a lot longer than me, so I will rename my blog and put a new header on top.
