Following on my Enabling Technologies post from yesterday, I’ve just finished uploading a brand new section of this site called pixel gallery.. It is an image gallery that is powered by the superb SlideShowPro Flash component which I use to display my efforts as a budding photographer.
I started taking photography seriously (while having a lot of fun learning) when I bought my amazing Canon S1IS camera last year which sports a 10x optical zoom. There are of course much better cameras out there but, for the price and for a hobbyist like me, it works wonderfully, provides a lot of manual control and yields fantastic results… enabling technology for sure!
I’ve uploaded pictures in 5 categories (or albums as SlideShowPro calls them) so far and I still need to sort the best of the over 430 pictures I took during our trip to Nova Scotia 2 weeks ago. I’ll then need to prepare them for addition to my gallery. Most of those albums will continue to grow as I experiment further with my camera and take even more pictures. I’ll also post more to explain the methods I use to process and enhance my pictures and may write articles for my still empty pixel forge section on that very subject sometime soon…
