apneaimages.com - new webpage

I just try to make a big face lift to my webpage and before i put everything in place i like to ask you guys what iare you thinking??

apneaimages.com

I have not upload any photos jet will come the next 2 days.

Under Gallery I will have my portfolio

Under Freedivers i will have all photos of tte freedivers that i take... so you just click on the name and see you phots.. maybe it will easer to order them...

Only two galleries are now activ..

Ryuzo Shinomiya & Lotta Ericson

Under Order i like that you take a look and tell me if i have forgot something or anything that you like..

in general every kritik is welcome...

Lambis

I like the site a lot, Your are a rule of thirds master, all of the pics had many, many creative ideas for esentially up and down freedivers following a line. Very good stuff. I had to read the navigation help, One tip might be to take out the + and - button and just print the word "next and previous".

One of the preview shots when the gallery or site came up showed a diver lit in away that the suit made the diver look like a statue, it went away so fast I couldn't get a good look, so maybe a slower intro to really take in the preview shots. Really nice site and great stuff.

I have just upgraded my galleries with freediving and spearfishing photos

The size of the freediving photos is bigger that the photos about spearfishing..

I like to ask you wich size you like best for presentation.

Becauce many of my photos are portraits from freedivers i have try to keep my galleries under 40 Photos and use the others in the DIVERS section

Any kritik is welcome...speed of pages , Photos, information in the ORDERS section

and in general anything...

Syggestions are always welcome...

Lambis

Few points:

- The site is build very professionally, great design.

- When clicking on 'Galleries' its go directly to the free diving gallery without option to chose what gallery to see.

- No info on prices and no ordering mechanism, is only by mail?

- I like that I can see the all image and navigation tools in the same frame without need to scroll down like most flash designs.

- The navigation arrows are not very clear.

- The site work fast enough for me.

- I prefer the free diving image's size.

Thanks Arnon

O.K. I cann chainge the gallery section so that the user choice whatever he whant.. you are right...

Now about prices...Hmm tuff question i still dont know what i will get

For freedivers i sell them for ca 20 euros but i am not sure if the price i to low

About ordering mechanism, I ahve look att different solutions but for mow is via email. then you get a PAYPal link where you can online pay via visa etc.. Must go trough the orders page again....

The navigation arrows are not very clear? wich arrows? on the bottom off the gallery?

You prefer the free diving image's size? Hmmm me to just must edit all my Spearfishing photos again..... not nice job...

Thanks for the sugestions ..

Lambis

The images are very strong. Great in fact, Lambis.

But I think that they do get a bit repetative. I realise that this will change when you have more stock on there. I would suggest having a small portfolio of 10 of your very best images - so visitors can get a quick idea about your photography.

And also keeping the larger galleries for customers wanting specific images.

Alex

Thanks Alex

I was thinking to the last days if the gallery images are way to much...

so maybe 10 of every categorie will be just fine

You are right...I have not a big stock:-) More or less I have pul all my photos online :-) But untill the sommer this will chainge becauce i will be shooting 2 more competitions plus mone privat shottings

About..."And also keeping the larger galleries for customers wanting specific images"

I dont get it.. you say that i must keep a big gallery offline or online with a password to show customers that whant to see more?

Nice Idea...!!!!!!! Thanks

on the divers section i will anyway put more photos as the meaning of this sections is that freeidvers can see and order her own photos..

But still i will kepp those gallerys small. maybe just 5 photos of every diver and aditional ones can they request for me..

General really good idea.. i have not think about it.. keep it small

especialy becauce freediving photos can be very repetativ.

Lambis

P.s. I will send you some off them..

Hey Lambis,

What I mean is have 2-3 galleries of 5-10 shots - from each shoot. Just the best of the best. These are to impress people with your skills!

Then have much larger 50 shot galleries from each shoot that are searchable so that customers, who want to buy your shots, can find the images that they need for their layouts.

Alex

Alex I dont get it :-(

So you say i sould have many galleries

like

Best 10 of freediving

best 10 of sprearfishing

and

them bigger galleries about every travel competition?

like

Tripledepth 2005

Tripledepth 2006

Speafishing crete 2004

I dont get it...

Then making the shoots searchable?? Oh boy i have try to write a code for this but it is not easy I have a concept that will owrk great but writing code in Flash is a pain and I am not that good.....

Absolutely fantastic photos. I have said it before and I'll say it again, it is so refreshing to see this type of work as a form of UW photography. Nice job on the website.

Joe

Lambis,

these are great photos and site.

I think you should write that photos were taken while freediving without scuba equipment (or maybe I missed it?). I guess that adds some extra value to your photos.

Andrzej

The navigation arrows are not very clear? witch arrows? on the bottom off the gallery?

It’s not very clear what is each arrow on the bottom, it's not a big deal since I can find it in a minute but I like when I don't have to think at all.

I understand that at list for now the ordering process is done manually by mail, if you can find an automatic solution its will save you a work and probably will help selling.
