Photo Galleries Galore

I’ve been playing around with the SImpleviewer Flash concept a little lately.  In looking at how others are implementing it on their blogs, I was thinking that CB could use a dedicated photo gallery to share and exhibit some photos.

Well, as a temporary release, I’ve put a few together using the Auto-viewer format.  It has naturally been customized a little, but is up and viewable right now!  Check out the images I’ve included here:  CB Photo Galleries They are mostly images of colors and textures thus far with a few other test images thrown in to determine sizing.  Hopefully I’ll get all the full versions from “What’s This?” incorporated soon too.  Feedback, comments, and suggestions on this are not only welcome, but encouraged.  Ideally I will be setting up a dedicated website for this material at some point too (provided there’s enough interest).  So, what do you think?  Don’t quit my day job?  Good idea?  Yawner?  Sound off in the comments!  Here’s a few sneak previews of what’s in the gallery right now:

In other news, I got word from Michael Johnston over at The Online Photographer that his final post on “Must Have Photography Books” has been published.  Like an oracle, when he suggests a book, it quickly sells out, so be sure to stop over to his blog to see what photography goodness is available.  It can be read here.

Last but not least, there’s only a few more days to participate in the “SLR features” poll – I think it’s set to expire this Friday, so be sure to jump in and share your thoughts on what the most important features are.

Happy shooting, watch those apertures, and we’ll see you back here again tomorrow!

Funny April Fools posts

Today was a day of mirth and merriment on the blogosphere…with lots of fun stuff specific to photography too. Here’s a few I ran across in my daily perusal:

Happy Fools Day all….if you’ve got your own stories, photos, and pranks, by all means, share ’em! The double whammy of a root canal on Thursday, and a wisdom tooth extraction yesterday has left me a little worn out, so I’ll keep it short today.  As my parting thought for the day, I’d like to throw some props out to Jason D. Moore.  He’s got a great website, with some very cool tutorials, and a blogroll of the “Who’s Who” in photography.   Regular posts will resume tomorrow. Happy shooting and watch those apertures!
