Ralphs Bay, Lauderdale

2009.01.09

Laud­erdale is a beau­ti­ful lit­tle place, I pass through it often as I make my way to a favourite local  South Arm  (1, 2, 3, 4). This shot was cap­tured on the side of the road on sun­set of Ralphs Bay, the loca­tion of a pro­posed canal estate which isn’t so cool (more on that here). As usual, shot with a Canon 350D, Canon 10–22 and Cokin nd grads.

What are your thoughts on a hor­i­zon­tal scrolling front gallery page? Yay or nay? I’m a lit­tle bored of the cur­rent flash front.

  1. Nice shot, would also look great as a panoramic with the top cropped off I think…

    Re the hor­i­zon­tal scrolling gallery — I never used to be a fan of hor­i­zon­tal scrolling but lately I have taken a lik­ing to it and have even been think­ing about mak­ing my port­fo­lio hor­i­zon­tal scrolling… so yeah, yay I say :)

  2. Hey Beau! I think you’re right with the panoramic crop, looks much bet­ter :) .

    I’ve found in regards to a hor­i­zon­tal scrolling pages it seems the tra­di­tion­al­ist crowd are against it which has left me a lit­tle unde­cided. I don’t want peo­ple to instantly flick off my page after one image as they don’t like the lay­out. I’m very tempted to, I love the way it presents the images to the viewer but ahh decisions!

  3. I think this is a great exam­ple of a hor­i­zon­tal style port­fo­lio… http://​www​.dean​brad​shaw​.com​.au/

    Though, I guess there isn’t really any ‘scrolling’…

  5. Yeah, I like that one, too.

    Haha, I would love to come down to Tas, it’s the only state in Aus I haven’t been to yet, but at the moment i’m sav­ing my pen­nies for my trip to Europe! Pos­si­bly visit Tas some time in 2010, though…

  7. Impres­sive image with bags of com­mer­cial appeal. Once again show­ing impres­sive results from rel­a­tively basic equip­ment. Keep up the good work.
