My photography site

[jziegler]

Well, as I have mentioned on here before, one of my other hobbies is photography. I've been working on my photography website for a while, and I finished a big update to it this weekend. I finished adding photos from my trip to Vienna February 2007 (although I also went to Paris on that trip, but haven't done those photos yet. I still have some to scan). I also have photos from a trip to China, and some photos of my dogs. There's lots more to add, and I'm going to Germany in a couple weeks, that will be lots more to add. Anyway, anyone who's interested in seeing some of the places that I've been can go to http://jziegler.smugmug.com and take a look. I'm still working on captions and adding more, and there will be a big update next month after I get back from Germany.

Nice site and very nice photography!

One question - how did you incorporate the map with the pointers?

[Anna]

The photos are pretty good! I haven't had a chance to go through all of them, but the ones I've seen I like.

What equipment are you using? You mentioned a scanner, so I guess you didn't use DSLRs...? Which scanner? Are you using any special lenses?

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed your greyhounds. dog are fun to look at in photographs because the move so fast you miss facial expressions and postures in real life.

I am a fellow amateur photographer. someday I'll upload my work also.

Thanks for the link. I could look at good pics for quite a while without getting tired.

Thanks

That's a feature (one of many cool ones) that the hosting company, SmugMug has available. It's setup using Google Maps, and all I need to do is to enter coordinates of the picture. They have an interface that you can type in the address to find where it is.

No DSLR, although I really want one. Next big purchase, I think.

Anyway, I have a Minolda Dimage Scan Dual III, which is just a film scanner. It scans 35mm negatives and slides only, but at a high resolution.

As for special lenses, nothing really. I have some used Minolta SLR equipment that I get a couple years ago. I didn't take it (or any film cameras at all) to China, and will do the same for Germany this next trip. I have a Fujifilm S6000fd, which is a reasonably high end ultrazoom camera (10x zoom, 6 megapixel) that I use most of the time, and my wife uses a smaller Canon compact. Works out pretty well most of the time (and there is information on all of the non-scanned pictures on what camera was used, the settings, everything like that. Hover the mouse over a picture and then click in the i button).

Tom and Ed,

Thanks for the kind words.

Tom, if you get anything uploaded, post a link. The dogs really are tough.

Very nice photo collection. I'm very fond of dogs (we have 2 goldens) , so your shots of the greyhounds was my favorite.
