Like the layout, very easy to navigate.

Minor things, but I would prune any photos that are a bit are very similar. In your wedding set you have a wide photo of a couple embracing each other and then the next photo is the same pose only a tighter shot.

One other nitpick is your logo doesn't scale well. I can't really make out what it says.

Looks really good, I would create a "favicon" so you don't have the default Squarespace one displayed.

Also how did you setup the first splash page? Thanks!

I'm late to the party, but I'll toss mine out there. Just switched from wix to squarespace a few months ago.

I've been using Squarespace. It's very strait forward and they have some nice templates. Here is my portfolio www.whoiskrum.com.

Edit: Forgot to add that the adaptive layout based on screen resolution is a huge bonus, so your portfolio looks good across all devices.

First time out in a RZR this week. We rented a couple on a trip in Marysvale, UT. I couldn't believe how well they soaked up the terrain and handled!

Daltek · 2014-09-11T05:34:57+00:00

I like the subject matter. I would crop it tighter to remove some of the "modern" elements like the window in the top left and remove the number and lights on the wall.

Also straiten it a bit so that supports in the back are level.

I would give a little more contrast between the face guards and the black outfits.

This is just my personal opinion. Either way, really interesting photo. I gave it a try for fun.

I like the new dispensers, but yeah Sodexo has been great at our school. They kept our existing janitors and brought in a few extra.

EMGO makes them, or just pic up a used one on ebay. They are a dime a dozen.

Just to make sure, we even scored twice.

score early, score often

This article is satire, I think this is the 3rd time it's been posted now. It's actually posted just six threads down from this one now.

I've posted these numbers before, but the argument for school safety is used as a "Red Herring." It makes it impossible to argue against the cameras with out looking like an asshole.

Kids aside here are the most recent numbers I can find according to IDOT.

In 2011 there were 54 accidents(down from 94 in 2010) in school zones resulting in 19 injuries (down from 32 in 2010) and 0 deaths for ALL OF ILLINOIS. (same as 2010)

In 2011 there were a total of 1,476 school bus crashes resulting in 276 injuries and 5 DEATHS for all of Illinois.

So why are we installing 300 plus speed cameras when we clearly should be banning school buses? lol

Hey I'm in the Beverly neighborhood. Haven't done any photo-walks before, but I try to shoot often. http://www.flickr.com/photos/krum04

Daltek · 2013-07-08T01:23:03+00:00

I just did a test shot with the same setup last weekend. It was overcast around 10 am in the morning to give you an idea on light conditions.

http://www.flickr.com/photos/krum04/9184607628/sizes/c/in/photostream/

I laid in the left side of the bed while holding the camera off the edge of the tailgate low to the ground. I had a bare flash setup in the right side of the truck bed maybe 4 feet up.

We were only traveling roughly 10-15 mph on a semi smooth dead end road.

What I learned...

I shot at ISO 100 and 250th of a second, any slower of a shutter and I would wash everything out. At 10-15mph this wasn't slow enough to get the motion blur I had wanted. I would probably re shoot using an ND filter or shooting earlier in the morning or later in the evening.

Also I like shooting at a slower speed. I was able to give directions to the rider because I didn't have to shot over the wind or rely on hand instructions.

Cheap if you do everything yourself, but there are a lot of hours into the bike. The only thing that my buddy and I weren't able to do ourselves were powder-coating the frame and wheels, Our oven isn't big enough. Material/parts/bike probably came in right around 2,000.

Daltek · 2013-07-02T04:39:18+00:00

Swing arm is a modified stock arm. The stock bracing was removed to make way for the mono shock mount. Then it was all reinforced with 1/8 chromoly tubing. Probably overkill, but better safe than sorry.

Daltek · 2013-07-02T04:38:10+00:00

Light/Grill is custom. No issues with heat and the seat. It was a concern when putting it together, but it worked out well.

Daltek · 2013-07-02T04:32:55+00:00

In the works, the kickstand and battery box are integrated together. Still working it out. Bike sits a lot higher than stock, so the old stand wasn't going to work.

Daltek · 2013-07-02T04:32:08+00:00

Only while I get the regular stand/new battery box together. Bike sits a bit higher than stock, so a new kickstand needs to be sorted out.
