I'd like to get my photography website up by December - I've purchased my domain however I'd like a professional looking website that isn't overly expensive and I don't have time to code one myself.

A friend suggested http://www.bludomain.com and I've found a couple of alternatives but they seem to have not as diverse of template selection or cost more in the long run. I'd like to use a bludomain template but it looks like a couple of years ago they had a really bad customer service record. I've found a lot of posts online about it but it all seems to be from two or three years ago.

So has anyone used them recently? Or have you used a similar service?

Very good value for money, in my opinion!

Aren't they great?! Cheap, yet... they just work. Really happy with the purchase, especially since buying them off TradeMe costs more than double, and you have to pay for shipping! ]]> Gear talk Seinafolava http://www.hellophoto.co.nz/showthread.php?3960-Yongnuo-CTR-301P-Flash-Triggers-AMAZING!

The filters sound interesting, the red one really seems to make the sky stand out quite well.

I had another go at the B&W conversion in GIMP. This time using the channel mixer and no contrast adjustment. Hopefully the sky isn't so washed out. Looking better?

I could not afford the asking price of a new lens and would have jumped with a third party lens had this option not been available. At $1K it is a good buy IMHO and will also hold its value in the market should I ever decide to off load it, where as a third party lens would depreciate by around 30-40%.

Still glad I bought it, only problem now though I 'need' a f2.8 70-200! ]]> Gear talk Geoff M http://www.hellophoto.co.nz/showthread.php?3964-Nikon-17-55mm...is-it-good Happy Birthday Adam http://www.hellophoto.co.nz/showthread.php?3958-Happy-Birthday-Adam&goto=newpost Thu, 02 Sep 2010 10:08:26 GMT Happy BDay Adam for yesterday, gee you've done well on the lens front lately, yep that big 40 sneaks up on you but at least youve got a bit of time before it gets ya, Im toast already!! ]]> The Bar stool maloephoto http://www.hellophoto.co.nz/showthread.php?3958-Happy-Birthday-Adam
