You're welcome, good luck :)

An additional thought: it is possible for usb connections to disengage because of power management settings. There are two routes that change various settings. I found a youtube video where a driven youngster explains both routes in a single vid. I hope this helps solve the puzzle Jochen, It's worth checking out. Best!

I use the word for unstaged shooting while I am on the streets. It does not mean you have to produce evidence of a street in the result.

It may be the D7100 in part. I note that mine fits some lenses tighter and with less smoothness than other cameras, including the D3200, do. There's nothing visible.

That's an interesting observation, it sounds as though it never became a real problem for either your lens or your camera which is a bit of a relief to know :) Thank you Matthew

I've not noticed mine as being abnormally loose or tight on any camera bodies, although I don't have either of the bodies you mention.

Thanks Ben, yes, this lens is the first and only instance for me, hence my post. Thx for replying.

I have some lenses that fit tighter than others; my AF-S 50mm f/1.8G initially had quite some resistance and is still a bit tighter than others. I've had the 35mm f/1.8DX in the past, and it too was rather snug fitting. It never caused me any issues, and the force needed to mount and unmount wasn't excessive, just a bit more than others.

Ah I see, good to know it is not entirely uncommon dankjewel (dutch for thanks) Wouter

I have been using Nikon for 40 years, since 1977, and have used countless Nikon bodies and lenses. Every SLR body-lens coupling is very smooth. Unless your D7100 also has the same issue with other lenses, I would get that new 35mm/f1.8 lens replaced. It is probably best to find a couple more Nikon bodies and lenses to check different parings.

All other body <-> lens combinations are smooth in attaching/detaching so I am sure it is the lens, replacing it is always an option of course :) Thank you for answering

Thank you ShunCheung and hapien. I was wondering, is there a way to verify if the sealing ring actually has abnormalities?

August 7, 2017

I bought an AF 35mm DX 1:1.8G for my D7100 and to my surprise, getting it on the camera is not completely effortless. it's a tight fit, I really have to apply some strength attaching it.

I checked the lens and camera and there are no scratches or signs of damage due to possible extra friction so in that sense all seems okay. The lens itself and it's af function work just fine.

To compare, I tried it on my D700 where it getting it on and off is a bit easier but alo on the fx it still feels more tight than 'usual'. My questions: does any one have experience with 'tight fit' lenses, and Is this normal for this lens (type)?

Any commens/insights are greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Hello Silverrails, (what) have you decided?

Hi. For my taste, the font is a bit too small on some occasions (portfolio overview for instance).

I quite like the monotype font at the services page as it creates a tone that sets the content apart from the rest of the site. Personally, I do not like the logo that much and I would definitely drop the thumbnail slides at the bottom of the home page (spoil alert).

I like the fact that you have textual content beyond the bare minimum that we see on most photography sites. It heightens your visibility and findability in search machines. Well done :).

Perhaps consider Using "I" and "me" instead of the third person? Being personal creates trust and allows visitors to connect, which tends to pay off.

Best regards,

-Apply the suggestions given above.

-Prospective clients will find your business through search engines; I do not think Norwegians google in English.

-Search engines read words, use descriptive and persuasive texts on each page.

-Create a description meta tag (search google about this) for each page and fill it with good enticing/persuasive description of the page content. This text is what googlers see when you appear in search results. Make sure to use words that also appear in the actual text of that page.

-Write your page content around a few specific words and phrases that should attract the right visitors ( the client groups that you are aiming for). These essential words/ -phrases need to be the words that you think that people will enter in google's search window when they are looking for products/services that you are offering.

Consider Using your 'about' page as the home page and adjust your text accordingly.

All the best! Michiel

Great pictures :-)

If you want to be visited, use text! People will find you (or any other web site) through search machines like google. As search machines can only 'understand' text/descriptions google will only see "there is a picture on this spot on this particular page." This implies that google will not (or hardly ever) show your pages in search results unless people type in your site name or some exact combinations of page titles, your name, foto titles etc.

You are welcome Mark.

Hey Greg just thought of something, be careful to put the javascript references in the head section ABOVE the java scripts that are already sitting right before the closing body tag; those have to load last and should stay at the bottom of the stack so to speak.

Hi Greg...wow a Cessna, - Amazing!

I flew those too a few times and also stayed alive. Probably because it was in flight simulator. Good thing it was too; I crashed on quite a few flights.

Anyway, I do hope the suggestions help you improve the site, I'll check it out. If any (other) questions come up, feel free to shoot me an email or pm me here.

Greetings and thanks for your reply Greg,

Hi Mark,

I can understand you want to keep the green.

I tested your slate hue for the text and it looks allright. It works with the blue component inside your green background, (also works well with one of the font colors in the side panel as well as with colors of your header image) Downside, there is a bit of a blurriness / vagueness in this shade (on this background).

Here's how it looks:

Since this color area does seem to work perhaps we can come closer to the color of your name in the header. That color there is #36355D No accounting 4 taste but to me this looks pretty good. This darker version delivers the message in a strong manner, as said above, the slate grey lacks a bit of spunk but perhaps this is more true to the modest tone of voice that underlies the entire web site.

Name Blue:

Ow by the way, I somehow reversed the colors red and white while looking around yesterday and that already worked better for my eyes. You can see what it looked like here.

<img src="http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/8523/gd5a.png" alt="" /> Anyhow, all alternatives seem better in some way so maybe between the slate and darker name colors lies the final pick..

Color range from slate grey to 'name blue' :

Well that was an extensive answer if I ever gave one.., lost track of time I think, but good fun and handy for other readers. Best of luck with the suggestions Mark.

Once again best regards,

Michiel

I do not use Dreamweaver myself anymore. I know how annoying it can be to hit a program bug right when you want to undo a step in your work so I found a possible answer here:

At the end of the posts (post #13) a possible answer is given.

It seems it has nothing to do with the button you inserted.

Hope it helps you out

Hi Greg,

Remarkable photography, do you own a balloon?

You responded to Matthew: "I'm not yet sure what to do about the load time issue."

Some thoughts:

As far as the download speed has to do with the image sizes, I noticed that your carousel images are png's. Perhaps they can be replaced by copies that are 24 bit png's (if you do not lose too much quality). If they are layered (fireworks' png's) save copies as flattened png's for the website.*

Also, you can move all of the javascript references that are now in the head section to the end of the page, just before the closing body tag <code></body></code>

That should theoretically speed up page loads-- Tryit on a copied page made just for this purpose- if it works, great, if not, no losses :-). Sometimes, in some situations, it's not easy to move scripts to the bottom. If, for example, the script uses <code>document.write</code> to insert page content, it can't be moved lower in the page. In such a case, try whatever of the scripts of the head section CAN go there, as every bit will improve page load.

I also noticed inline css in your head section between javascript references. See if you can move it up, under the last css rule.

A lot of other speed tips can be learned from <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html">this article</a> at Yahoo. (I quoted a line in this reply). You might for instance also be able to minify some of your java scripts and/or join some into one. jQuery editions have minified versions.

* If you want to go from 32 bit to 24 bit png's, and you do not have fireworks, use <a title="home page irfanview" href="http://www.irfanview.com/">irfanview.</a> It's totally free and let's you control all possible and impossible aspects of (batched) image conversion.

I hope some of this helps you.

Best Regards, Michiel

Hi Mark, On win 7 here it looks great in Chrome and in Waterfox (a clone). Nicely responsive as well--- just resized browsers windows to see. Room for improvement, perhaps the following:

<ul>

<li>adapt the text color (#fefefe); on that light green (#D1E370;) it's quite bright thus straining when absorbing the written info.</li>

<li>a (stronger) border for the side panel tab, It tends to be 'overlooked' when first opening the page and it seems to disappear when scrolling down. (current box shadow doen't cover it)</li>

<li>a picture of yourself in the about section</li>

</ul>

Nice job, crisp code under the hood . I like the open graph addition. Great pics too!

Have a good one,

Michiel

I would do a regular website with a portfolio section and a blog section. If a part of the approach fails you don't have to relocate or start over. Just shut down what ever does not work and concentrate on optimizing the rest.

Tagging of images and articles is something you can do yourself. Besides submitting your website to be indexed, you can also specifically index your images. Here's a nice link about google image indexing:

There is a lot you can do to become 'visible' but sound choices of means and focus depend on answers to why and for what audiences you want "to effectively display my work over the internet."

Perhaps read a bit about Seo too befor you decide. A little time on the basics of this subject can go a long way if you want to know what you can do to make a/your web site more effective in one way or another.

Good luck with your projects and best regards,

M
