Hi.
Just finished my photography portfolio site: http://www.wpcreativephotography.co.uk

Have a look and let me know what you think. I haven't got a lot of content on there yet, but now that its up and running i will be updating it like crazy over the next couple of months.

Its actually using the cms ms for the main site and slideshow pro / director is installed to handle all the portfolio images, the form and guestbook modules are installed to handle any feedback.

Cheers...

I am generally not a big fan of black, or dark looking websites, but in your case it totally rocks. I like it a lot. The site was slow to load for me though.

I really liked your website, its clean and very navigable.

I also like the slide show pro that you used. Is it a commercial script or opensource?

Over all I say very good!!!  ;)

Hi, thanks for the comments. Yes it is slideshow pro i used, it is a commercial plugin for Flash, but it really is a great product (imo) and only $29.

I'm with you on the dark but it really frames the images nicely and they really pop! on screen

WillNut - In reference to your comments on the People album. I think some of those shots you took of the wedding are great. Sometimes "candid" is a lot more than your professional photo. While they may not look like a professional photo a 3 year old can take posed photos. It takes a true artist to catch the true emotion of that moment. You managed to do that on quite a few of those photos. I also liked the photos you took of all the people holding cameras :D

It's a good site. Normally I like to see "black" websites have some accent colors other than white and gray, but you pulled it off very well. Plus you implemented Slideshow Pro very well.

I really enjoy the menu at the top of the site.  That's really nicely done.  ;D

The site was a little slow loading for me, which I noticed was the case for some others too...  :)

Hi Will,

Your site is lovely and clean, photography sites look great on black, and yours is a lovely example. Your work is great too, I would be over the moon with those as my wedding pictures! I'd change your copy to not say photographing people isn't a strength because you're very good.

One incy wincy teeny weeny constructive criticism from Miss Language Pedant: check your use of 'your' and 'you're' (i.e. "If your getting married in the Edinburgh area"...). If that's all I can find to nit-pick then that's gotta be good!  ;)

Did you use the blog module and if you did how did you change the date format of the post and comments?  Overall its a great site.
