This change will enable users to navigate through galleries without always needing to return to the home page first. <br /><br />There are still a couple of bugs with ie6 but overall functionality seems good in Fire fox and ie7. <br /><br />Please contact me if you find any bugs or open menu items.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1105650450578029198-6609137410325270158?l=blog.dhlewisphotography.com' alt='' /></div>dale h lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12920246674669222077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105650450578029198.post-82517899654979830272007-11-28T07:04:00.000-05:002007-11-28T07:49:24.590-05:00I've decided to take the plunge and try to adopt my photo work flow to Adobe LR. The reasoning is based on two specific goals. First to speed up the raw photo processing from sports events where I may typically shoot 200 to 500 photos at one event. Second to improve the overall cataloging and archiving of my photographs. <br /><br />Right now I'm kind of taking a shotgun approach learning a little about the overall capabilities of LR. So far I like what I see my only concern is resources that will be required as the catalog grows.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1105650450578029198-8251789965497983027?l=blog.dhlewisphotography.com' alt='' /></div>dale h lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12920246674669222077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105650450578029198.post-66797612025890320902007-10-27T17:16:00.000-04:002007-10-27T17:19:59.825-04:00Today new code was applied to http://dhlewis.smugmug.com homepage converting the slide show to a flash application.

The overall size limit is set based on the image quality.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1105650450578029198-2589262475458732371?l=blog.dhlewisphotography.com' alt='' /></div>dale h lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12920246674669222077noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105650450578029198.post-17954187246607297952007-09-02T11:54:00.000-04:002007-09-02T12:40:38.417-04:00Mainly it's to cover my operational costs.<br /><br />Beyond the photography equipment that I own there are many ongoing costs that I now have to absorb. Many of these costs are now becoming significant. As a for example;<br /><br />1. Cost to attend event.<br />2. Web site maintenance fees<br />3. Computer upgrades and additional hardware costs (hard drives, memory cards)<br />4. Software purchases and upgrades<br /><br />Also, please consider that if I spend 2 hours at an event is usually takes at least another 4 hours to cull through and process the photo's and get them posted up to the web for your viewing. I only shoot raw images to allow additional exposure changes and maintain the highest possible quality during image processing.<br /><br />There is also time to maintain photo gear, flush memory cards, recharge batteries etc. Some of my work is average and some of it is good consider that when you purchase a print or digital download you are only paying a small percentage of the total costs.<br /><br />How do you set prices?<br />Generally speaking prices are set by the gallery with the rare exception that an exceptional photograph may cost more. Photographs may also change higher or lower after a season is over.<br /><br />Thanks for your understanding. Please email me with any questions or comments.<br /><br />Dale H Lewis<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1105650450578029198-1795418724660729795?l=blog.dhlewisphotography.com' alt='' /></div>dale h lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12920246674669222077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105650450578029198.post-27491631108808377442007-01-25T21:51:00.000-05:002007-01-25T21:54:07.926-05:00Yes I have been neglecting this site and I apologize. But I have spent the last month completely immersed in setting up my Smugmug web site. If you haven't checked it out please do, and give me some constructive feedback. I should be back here in the next couple of weeks with several photography updates.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1105650450578029198-2749163110880837744?l=blog.dhlewisphotography.com' alt='' /></div>dale h lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12920246674669222077noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1105650450578029198.post-65716479770660941422006-12-30T13:54:00.000-05:002006-12-30T18:46:17.823-05:00I've spent portions of the last week bring up my first photo web site. I decided to go with SmugMug as a hosting service. The main reasons were the ability to extensively customize the site to give it some character and a well established photography community. I have only scratched the surface but so far like what I see. If your interested you can check it out by clicking this link <a href="http://dhlewis.smugmug.com/">http://dhlewis.smugmug.com</a><br /><br />I ran into a local friend of mine who is a professional photographer. He mentioned a blog web site to learn more about lighting techniques using only portable strobes. The web site is very informative and is now listed in my favorite sites. Check it out at <a href="http://strobist.blogspot.com/">http://strobist.blogspot.com/</a><br /><br />Since fill flash is one of my key learning areas right now I'll add another I am learning a great deal from; <a href="http://super.nova.org/DPR/">http://super.nova.org/DPR/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1105650450578029198-6571647977066094142?l=blog.dhlewisphotography.com' alt='' /></div>dale h lewishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12920246674669222077noreply@blogger.com0
