RSS Feed Fixed

I just fixed my RSS Feed to show the entire post (with images).  The thumbnail galleries still look a little funky, but I’m working on it.  Let me know if you have any other issues with the feed.

By Request

ask_080120_1008399_0

When I migrated my old site over to the current one, I left out a number of photos that do not represent my best work.  This mallard image didn’t make the cut.  My brother likes this one enough, however, to complain that he could no longer find it.  By request (and after more carefully evaluating the image) I’ve added it back to the bird portfolio.

New Bosque Gallery

At the Crane Pool

I have posted a new gallery of images from Bosque del Apache, one of my favorite places on the planet to photograph.

New Collection of Fox Images

Red Fox with Fall Color

I have posted a collection of red fox images.  I hope to post some additional collections soon as I finish fleshing out the new site.  Enjoy.

New Night Blurs

18th Avenue

I have added many additional images to the Night Blurs collection. Enjoy!

Long time no blog

I have been incredibly bad about updating my blog lately.  I’ve also gotten way behind editing the (many) photos that I’ve shot over the last couple of months.  The largely unedited shoots (Belize, Arches National Park, an early morning “photographers only” shoot at the local zoo, some nice fox kit images, etc.) are starting to pile up. So, I’ve resolved to get “caught up” in the next week.  In that sprit, here’s an image from a shoot this morning in a wildlife refuge near Boulder, Colorado. It’s just an Eastern Kingbird, not the most exotic species. But I like the perch, the action, and the clean background.

The Turning Gate Lightroom Web Galleries

If you use Lightroom and need to throw together a gallery quickly, or if you’d like to create a photography website without learning HTML or hacking Gallery to do your bidding, you should check out the great set of Lightroom web gallery templates from Matthew at The Turning Gate.

Matt’s (donationware) templates provide everything you need to assemble a professional-looking photo gallery or a whole website.   Check out his demonstration gallery to see all of the various templates in action, including the “meta templates” that draw various light-room generated galleries together into a coherent website.

I’ve used the Slimbox Gallery for a number of private quick-and-dirty web galleries.  Also, I use the Monoslideshow Gallery to generate the XML for the Monoslideshow Gallery on the Splash Page of AndrewKelley.net

New Blog

I’ve decided to keep a blog to accompany my photo portfolio, rather than the sporadic posts on the main page of my gallery.

I plan to use this blog for four main topics:

  • Updates on my work.  This will include significant new images, new subjects, photo trips, etc.
  • Substantive photography articles, including tutorials, site guides, and the like. A small example of this can be found in “site software” link at left, where I describe the software that I use to power my gallery and this blog.
  • Interesting or useful photo information, including new software, industry news, and the like.
  • Photography equipment, software, and book reviews.
  • Images from other photographers that I like or find inspiring.

I appreciate your comments on the blog and whether you find the content useful or interesting.
