nigel_turner Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Ellis.. <p> Very nice looking website. Easy to navigate and works just fine on the browsers I have loaded on this machine, which is a Windows 2000 with IE6 and N6.2 and cable. <p> Images are clear and download nice and fast. Well done. <p> Nigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_waak Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Ellis, I really like the site. My favorite image is of the glass sphere in the hand. <p> I tested it using Netscape 4.7 & 6.0 on Windows 2000 Professional. I've found that if I can get things to work in 4.7 that it will run on just about anything. <p> My only comments are that I don't like the popup (as was said on photo.net), when the large page comes up the photo has a blue border around it (set border="0"), and when I'm in a gallery there are the six blue boxes at the bottom that will take you back to the image gallery, but you don't know that until you hover over them. Consider putting the "gallery" text on there full time and maybe changing colors on rollover. <p> I do think it is incredibly easy to navigate and you have some great images. I particularly like your "why should you work with me". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleyman7 Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Very nice Ellis...simple, fast, and outstanding photographs. I'm running Internet Explorer on Windows 98. I feel like I know you a little better after visiting your site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_glover Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Ellis, <p> I had a look at your site a few days ago when you posted the link in a response and intended to compliment you but then I changed operating system, lost stuff and forgot. <p> The site runs well on my Imac with Mac OS 9.1, IE 5.1, internal modem and phone line. <p> Your work is of a consistently high standard as many are likely to express; I would like to say, however, that your editing and sequencing are spot on and must have taken a long time. The effect of this curatorial effort may be subtle but quietly marks the difference between a good site and a great site. <p> Congratulations, <p> Walter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan n. Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Ellis... <p> Very clean looking site. Outstanding whow of your works...very easy to navigate thru. No prob at all on a G4 / 0S 9.1 and Netscape 4.73... Congratulations.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter brown - www.peterbro Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Hi Ellis, <p> I enjoyed visiting your site and congratualtions on designing and implementing a easily navigated and interesting site. I looked at it with IE v5.01 and Netscape v4.6 on a Mac G3/56k internal modem and on OS 8.6 with a very poor phone line connection. The images loaded quickly and there were no broken links or any other problems. <p> Colours tones and contrast of images were as I would expect and looked excellent on my 19" La Cie monitor and on my Apple multiscan 17". The windows resized well on both monitors. <p> I liked your choice of colours and the overall impression is of a clean, professional, well-designed and easily navigated site. <p> Good luck with it and I hope it drags in the punters. <p> -- Don't squat with your spurs on! <p> Kind regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis_vener_photography Posted January 23, 2002 Author Share Posted January 23, 2002 Much of the credit (most ofthe credit for the look and feel of the website is due to charles irvine. he can be reached at <A HREF = http://www.txvr.com> TXVR.com</A>. If you are interested in working with someone who is really great (and easy) to work with drop him a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armin_seeholzer Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Hi Ellis <p> Very nice homepage looks god on my old powermac with Netscape 4.75.One point I would personally prever if the picture would be a bit larger on my monitor. They are about 6x9 cm some are a bit larger but not much. But maybe its only because of my hi resolution monitor.But anyway very good work Ellis!

david_payumo3 Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Hello Ellis, <p> I like the images you made. I understand that you are a generalist in photography. The work shows your skill, experience, professionalism and vision. If you want to take your work up a notch I think doing personal projects would help (see seankernan.com). I would like to see work that you do for yourself. This might not be in line with your commercial photography goals but I would be interested in that type of work. Clients would see what makes you unique. I say all this critque with respect because you've always been helpful, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve10 Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 You need a "home" button for each of the galleries to take you back to your front page. Other than that, good presentation, easy to navigate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis_vener_photography Posted January 24, 2002 Author Share Posted January 24, 2002 We are still working on implementing captions as many of requested and have eliminated the splash page and the resulting pop up of the site itself.. I am thinking about whether or not to eliminate the browser resize commend, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony_harrison Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Congratulations Ellis, very superior-looking site and stylish images. I especially like "arch-b" in Buildings (wish I'd shot it myself), and "trav-03" in Faraway Places - re the latter, a major stock agency recently told me that water in scenes like the latter has to be blue, and absolutely not green, which is how it looks on my monitor! No doubt opinions differ - anyway, I like it. Looking at your site makes me realise the benefits of getting a custom-built website, rather than buying someone's off-the-shelf design then customising it, which is what I did. Everything loaded fast and worked fine on my PC, Win98, Netscape 6.1 setup. ps is there really a word "complexly"? Just being pedantic... Best wishes - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
