REVIEW REQUEST: Two new pages for neglected 3rd Eye Foto site
Hi
I've put up two new pages on a photography website. I agree with comments that have been made about the site, in that it doesn't fit together, and it looks like an art project. However, I've been given the ok to rework it.
http://www.3rdeyefoto.ca/vancouver.htm has a few shots taken around Vancouver. It uses my Touchup applet, and I've put together a special brushed aluminum GUI just for this page.
Here is the other page:

Takes a little bit to load.
I was a little confused as to how to get the next picture to display, maybe add a "next" and "previous" link to the control do da.
Also when you change the contrast, gramma etc it jumps to the top of the page, but when you click the biggish thumbnails you dont go anywhere, on 17" screen would be a real pain in the butt going backwards and forwards if you had any more pics.
Also when you click the thumbs the whole screen locks and becomes a link while the new pic loads
The bottom and right edges of the main images need to be transparent as they are white and boxy (on the corners).
maybe make the thumbnails a bit smaller (3/4 size) and have them beside the main display with the text above and/or below.
the contact page you get taken up to the main display when you click a thumb and the bottom and right sections are good
Instead of using font size 6, use h1 or h2 for the heading, makes it search engine friendly.
I just checked out the price page, I think I need to come work in your country lol. and a tip - it's easier to adjust the lens from the bottom and no chance of getting fingers in the way.

What screen resolution do you use?
It seems redundant to me to have 'next' and 'previous' buttons when you have thumbnails on the same page.
When you click on controls or thumbnails, then behavior is the same, it jumps to the top of the page. The href has to point to somewhere!
I've reworked the shadows, they're a bit more subtle and the edges are harder to see. Making part of it transparent isn't an option since all images are JPEGs.
I like the larger thumbnails, I've made tiny ones forever. Placing the thumbnails next to the main image wouldn't work very well on a screen with very low resolution and it doesn't look anywhere near as nice at a more typical resolution.
Regarding font size vs h2, agreed and done.

I use 800x600
But you can't really gauge it by screen size anymore, IE could have google toolbar and big icons, Opera has the banner, NS/mozila is smallest but could have added toolbars
check the vancouver page as it wasn't taking me back to the top
