Hi all,

So just got a new blog up (www.sidd-rishi.com.au/blog)

Still lots of content to add, but if anyone can take a look and add some suggestions that would be great

I got one feedback already - the slideshow on the front page looks different in different broswers. Firefox seems to be spot on with the pic filling up the page properly or being in the center.

If you have any other improvements/suggestions etc that would be wonderful.

Thanks,

Jewplayer is working fine in IE7.

Did you use a package to make your site? (Blog and main part) or you made it from scratch? I'm finding it hard to do what I'm picturing for my shit little site.

My blog is all wordpress.. the main site i had to customize a few things..

Setup your site on wordpress!! its very easy to do.

Thanks for info Sid. and feedback kory!

Bangaz. i set up the tripod late afternoon. took a pic during natural light for grass and sky.

then waited half hour for it to get dark, and started taking long exposures painting the car contours with a little led torch. took about 20 pics all up, only used about 10 or so.

Just cut and pasted the parts i liked on top of each other then shifted the colour (car was blue from torch), and touched up the background to try and make it look as if it's real. Took ages, but i know i can do it now, so i'll try it again with a clean car and decent composition in the near future

There are a few spelling and grammatical mistakes, but I notice these things because I'm pedantic about it - sorry dude!

Oh, with the photos displaying large, do you have the option to click on one side of the photo to advance forwards and backwards (like on RedBubble), or not?

Otherwise, it looks pretty good!

It's already July, but these were taken very late in June, so I'll link them to this thread.

I attended and helped out at a magazine launch and between doing a couple of shifts working the door I took the opportunity to snap off some photos. Here are my favourites from the night. Oh, the magazine is PAN magazine, by the way - arts, culture, fashion, music, literature, etc.

The venue - The Red Rattler in Marrickville:

One of the artworks on display and for sale to help fund the launch of the magazine - it's a recreation of a ribcage and organs set inside a light bulb:

Taken from the side of the stage:

The drummer and bassist from "The Holy Soul:"

Singer/guitarist and bassist:

Their other guitarist (this was snapped between the front speaker stack and a set of curtains just behind them to the side of the stage):

Another one from that same spot (obviously the focus wasn't quite right, but it was taken in a hurry as the singer swayed back and forth):
