I love the way your banner images move dynamically! Top job Hamish. Definitely the best Photography forum on the web!

Well done Hamish, all the best for a bright photographic future. :)

Cheers Nick, yeah, very happy with the header ... The joys of jquery!
Unfortunately for the first time ever we are having OS issues
The latest iOS doesn't work with it, but does work with the jquery demo, same goes for the latest incarnation of snow donkey (or whatever it's called now)
Basically certain operating system, the the jquery header, only on our site - doesn't work, regardless of browser ... Madness!
Think it must be to do with how the os renders content?? Maybe?? God knows, one way or another... I HATE BROWSER TESTING ... And now I HATE OS TESTING :)

A VERY Fine site indeed. I'm very impressed. I rarely get the opportunity to say so. Yes, I'll 'get involved'. Sincere congratulations to everyone concerned. Howard

That's a great look, Hamish, very professional and not over-done. Congratulations!

Agreed!

I did join Hamish's site ab initio, but apart from a posting describing the 'vintage' analogue gear I use (cameras and lenses), I have yet, to my shame, utterly failed to post any images.

The truth of the matter is, of late, I seemed to have lost interest in photography. I used to have the 'eye' (especially for travel photography): all those images were made on Kodachrome transparency film. Whilst I do have a film scanner (an Olympus), the associated software is not supported by modern platforms; so posting some of my images is difficult.

Since then, I seemed to have lost 'the eye' and somewhat lost my interest in photography. I had hoped a tentative 'toe dipping' into digital photography might regain both, but to avail - well not yet!

Your post has made me feel guilty - sorry Hamish, I'll try and do something about it.

Regards

Hehe, no need to feel guilty Barry!
It's the problem with digital, it doesn't quite inspire the same motivations as film does ... It's the lack of excitement in waiting to see the results etc, and not so much of a joy in the serendipity when it works, but better/different to how you thought it might

Cheers Howard and Martin, it's been a long slog getting it looking right, doing it around paid work etc! Fortunately, as I said, we got some funding to put some time into the design and functionality!
Really starting to realise the "dream" now! Today, again thanks to the funding we were able to make our first charitable donation. That felt to me like I at last have ticked all the boxes of what I wanted it to achieve!
