revised my website

[Reef Bass]

I reworked my website to be easier to use and to add partial page updating. Now when one clicks on a thumbnail image, only the image area changes and there's no giant visually jarring page reload.

For those who care, it's a .net 4 ajax site with MS SQL database, coded in C# and LINQ.

Please let me know what you think about the new look and functionality.

Thanks.

Had a look at your site Ken and it looks great. Very smooth transition between images and as usual the photography is great.

 

[GiantBen]

I agree, nice work Ken.

Wow, by far the best photos and cleanest page I've seen. Rarely find anything close to this quality on the web.

Great way for me to see what SPS and other corals I may want to add to my tank.

Very Nice Ken
Page works great in Firefox 8.0 and IE 9
and of course your photography is outstanding

 

[Reef Bass]

Thanks very much. I appreciate and value your input.

And thanks for testing in FireFox Guy!

I confess I saw a layout issue on my Android phone (items being left instead of center justified). Fortunately I can live with that.

Killer pics Ken I feel like I'm inside the tank.

Thanks Alex.

I just had a product idea! Submersible tank cam. USB connector, 10' cord, webcam in a waterproof ball.

I would have said a RC "fish/submarine" you can drive around your tank and take pictures. ^_^

I was thinking something less expensive that didn't come with a display and hooked directly to a pc via usb. I like your fish shaped idea.

Very nice, but there are no prices and a shopping cart for checkout.

 

[Reef Bass]

Yup. And no ads either. It's like it's done by someone who loves corals and photography and just wants to share.

I may add a contact link, possibly.

 

[lokii_37]

That looks real nice Ken. Great pictures. It really helps a newbie get an idea of what's what. Thanks for sharing.

 

[northbay-reefer]

It would be cool to have the settings number you used for those photos listed so we can try it in our own camera.

 

[Reef Bass]

Good idea Tom, thanks. I could add an explicit statement of the settings for each shot, possibly on the image alt info when one hovers the cursor over the image. I could easily store that info in the database the site uses.

Until I get around to doing that, you can always use an EXIF info viewer to view that metadata on any picture that has it. I like the free Opanda EXIF viewer and use it all the time to check settings info on pics in my browser. I just right click the image and select view EXIF info. It's that easy.

 

[rocklobster707]

wow absolutely beautiful pictures

 

[Reef Bass]

Thanks Bill.

Ken, check out the Go pros. You can get the whole set up for under $250 with water proof case, hook to PC usb, they have 3D now too. They are almost indestructible, I’ve been hunting, diving, spear fishing....tons of diffrent mounts too. It is the best smallest camera I have ever see.
I'll be going sky diving in the next few weeks with it!
