Please don't see this as an attempt to promote a site...my hompeage is nothing more than that...no commercial interests whatsoever.
However...I really would like some feedback on the pictures up there, especially the 2003 ones.
I'm striving to improve and after seeming to make a bit of a step forward at the first meeting of the year I seem to be going backwards again and not making much progress.
All the pictures have been taken on a Pentax MZ60 with a 100-300mm zoom
The first two sets this year used Agfa ISO200 and the last set used FujiFilm ISO400

Paul, your website is hosted by a firm that gives a bunch of annoying popups, and resets your homepage to "orbitexplorer .com", and even adds an unwanted toolbar.

Further to this;
anyone browsing to fortunecity.com should beware - a stealth program is installed without your permission, that hijacks advertising and substitutes its own. While not technically a virus, and in current versions not enabled to do so, it has the potential to actually share info from your HD to the orbitexplorer website.
Paul, you'd best find a better host.

OK I went and purchased my own domain and all that gubbins so hopefully no ads any more.
Which brave soul wants to test it for me now?

Paul,
The photos on the site are very good. The can be made to look much more professional by using 'creative' editing techniques such as I have done with the image below (hope you don't mind), if you ignore the pixelation. I should imagine that most proffesional photos are done this way.

Yeah I've done that to a few in the past...often depends what mood I'm in and whether I like to see the surroundings.
I think I need to just keep on shooting and really ought to start keeping a log
