New photo gallery

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…
