I deployed the new update for the site.

Added an about page to the site with a little bio. It's a start, it's always hard to know how much or how little to say, because after a while you start to ramble, kind of like I'm doing here.

or is it 😉

I've added a photo page that shows some information about the photo. The idea here is to add a description to explain the background or my thoughts on the photo's composition.

And I can also include the settings for the camera taking the photo.

Doing a bit of work on the layout and the colours. I've hidden the menu items for what isn't there yet.

And worked on the colour palette around the background, It's no longer black background, more of a slate gray colour. I think that looks better than just a black background. The photos look better with it.

A sneak peek at the new layout for the site.

A chat in Slack a while back is behind some of the new design changes and gave me some really good ideas for the layout.

I still have to work on the menu and those pages and lazy loading. I have a lot of photographs to load! And I want to make it as dynamic as possible

Building out the first draft of the image gallery, the site is for photography, so that should be the focus. The current site makes the photos look very small. I want to make them centre stage.

For desktops, I've set the max to 3 columns; with the aspect ratio on, I get some cool stacking from CSS 😀 On smaller screens, it goes to a single column.

Adding a nav menu, the old site didn't have one, it just showed my featured images.

For the new site, I want to split between featured and recent work, so instead of just publishing to Instagram, I want to put my new work on the site aswell. It also means I have to create an "about" page. 😒

It's that time again!

I'm going to rebuild my photography site, some changes to the layout and style I want to make, they might be easier to do with a new site. Also, cleaning up some code makes it easier to maintain.

I worked on my photography site's photo page, adding the details, ISO, f-stop, and exposure time.

I tweaked the layout so it fits the image better on different screens.

Shows the full image on a page. Adds the title to the top of the page and added a link to take you back to the home page.

I've added the click an image and view it in full-screen bit.

Set the featured photographs so they come from the new sync DB. The images are coming from the CDN.

I wanted a small tool so that once I've done my post processing I can sync my photographs into a CDN and have the links available for my photography site.

First version of the new site is now live.

It's starting to come together now. Adding in the featured images grid.

I still have to decide how many I want to use.

Adding in the bio, profile photo

I've also added the links to my other photography profiles.

It's time to get building on my new photography site, it's a just for fun project but needed. I've had a few people asking me when they spot me out doing photography.
