Kelly and I have been kicking around the idea of putting together a website and trying to take our photography from the amateur level to the 'semi-pro' level. We went to a dinner party last night and brought a couple of our albums, and the people went nuts and asked when I was going to have a show! :shocked: With that in mind, we registered Whiteshark Photography online this morning. The site is about 3/4 done right now, with 2 or 3 more pages to come online yet.

Take a few minutes and look around www.whitesharkphoto.com . I built the site entirely myself. :-D Within a couple days my email will come online and I'll be [email protected] .

Great stuff, John. Did you have much photography experience before you got your dSLR?

Thanks!

I got hooked on photography through taking shots of the tank about 4 years ago. Got a sony digital camera and realized a year or so later that I really liked shooting sporting events as well, but the sony didn't work so hot for it. Saved and saved and got a minolta 'prosumer' camera, but that wasn't the best for action stuff either, so saved some more and finally got my canon 300D.

I've designed several websites over the years and always either worked with frontpage's themes or just loaded the pages down with text, graphics, buttons, dividers, etc. I wanted to go in a much different, more minimalist direction with this site. Thanks!

It looks awesome!

I will say though... you should really delve into protective devices for your images... within day those will spread across the internet and be d****d near impossible to stop.

You can either watermark them in pshop or set the html code so that people cannot save them. Many will know how to extract it from temp ineternet storage on their machines, so I'd actually suggest both.

Just my 2 cents... site (and photography) look awesome!

Code to try and restrict people from saving them is just plain annoying and also cause for frustration if other plugins are being used that need that right-click...

I suggest only watermarks since that's the only thing that can come close to actually protecting them.

Oh, and good to see you have directory listing disabled.. - That helps a little.

I had no idea I even had directory listing disabled. :lol:
I'm half a step above an idiot when it comes to web stuff.

For watermarks and stuff, yeah I'm tempted, but then again a big reason I'm putting the site together is to show off my images, and if when the large size version loads there's a big watermark across it, yes it protects my copyright, but it ruins the photo. :-| It's a bit of a quandry. I do put my signature and date on all the images somewhere, and I know that it can be removed with PS like that, but :shrug: I'm still too much of an amateur to mind I guess. Besides, all the photos would be good for would be web stuff. The bit 2200x2000+ px images are still on my HD.

Would I be able to edit the exif information on the image files themselves to reflect an ownership?
