A rabbit, and some changes to this site

Thursday, February 1. 2007

Today we went into town to pick up a copy of the "Canon EOS Digital Rebel Digital Field Guide" by Charlotte Lowrie for the other half. First glance looks like it might be an awesome book to learn about the intricacies of her camera, but I might take a look as well and see if I can pick up any hints on taking good photos, and this brings me to the rabbit.

Go check out my flickr page and you'll see a cute furry little fellow who popped his head out just as we walked by. We weren't actually on a bushwalk, we just wanted to stop and see if we could get any interesting postcards, but as we pulled up at the park rangers hut where they have a tourist shop we spotted him (or is it her).

Anyway he didn't seem too worried by our presence, I even managed to get within a couple of meters of him, its a shame my hand isn't as steady as it once was because a couple of shots that I hoped would turn out actually didn't, but at least I got this one.

Now, onto my site, I've finally decided to drop categories altogether and use tags for all entries. I'll be firing up phpmyadmin over the next few weeks and adding them wherever they're needed, and then I'll be deleting all categories. Any of my regulars who subscribe to my category feeds need to be aware that these will no longer be updated. I'm not sure if I'll provide the feed links for individual tags, probably not, but we'll see, it depends on how many angry emails I get.

Also, this template isn't finished yet, a few things are annoying me about it that I still want to fix but I think I'm going to be offline for a couple of weeks soon so might not get the chance to fix it this month, if you have any ideas please let me know. I also finally added the Hemingway template to my templates page, and in addition, I finally released the merged carl blue and green template, which in a fit of original naming I have called carl01.

    Carl,

    Great shot of the little rabbit! I just upgraded to a Nikon D80 from a Kodak DX6490 myself and look forward to taking some nice photographs.

    If you look at my site under the Photography link you can see some of my shots.

    Also, on the Andreas09 template I am using, what is the best way for me to create the About and Contact links so it follows the rest of the template theme?

    Hey dude, that's an awesome camera you've got yourself, actually I think Garvin has the same one, we got ceejay the EOS 400d (digital rebel xt in your part of the world) because after reading all the reviews it seemed like it was going to suit her needs better, but it was a major decision between it and the Nikon d80.

    Personally I only have an Olympus SP-510uz, its one of those body shapes that looks like a baby SLR but is more like a point and shoot. I really need a camera that lets me change some of the settings and also gives me a viewfinder, my hands are not steady anymore (neurological) so even though my camera is cheaper than the EOS, my needs are even more demanding, the Olympus seems to be the best fit for me.

    I'm not sure what you mean about changing the about and photos links, are you using the static pages and contact form plugins?

    Now I'm gonna take a look at your photos.

    Thought I would just post the sites here I have been posting photographs to (so far).

    BetterPhoto.com
    DPChallenge.com

    Hoping to maybe sell a few photos at: iStockPhoto.com but that is down the road a bit.

    I also read a lot of messages at TexasPhotoForum.com for lots of information and help.

    I knew about the Static Page plug-in, just haven't tried it yet and wasn't really sure that was what I needed to use. I also know about the contact form plug-in but that one seemed a little more difficult as I am not the best PHP/scripting guy. I will look at those further and get them implemented.

    You can't go wrong with those two plugins and you don't need any php knowledge, just select the options you want. All of my static pages are done with the static pages plugin, and my contact form is the contact form plugin. I even used Spartacus to install them, try it, you won't regret giving it a go.

    And thanks for the photo links, ceejay is hovering over my shoulder so we'll go check them out now.
