Default My new Track Photo website!

This is a project I started almost exactly a year ago now with the idea of selling photos to participants at track days, without them being restricted to buying small prints and reducing costs to both myself and the customer in media/postage etc.

Anywhere here is the first 'ready' version, let me know what you think I made it all myself from scratch and had to learn every technology behind it from scratch

looks spot on just need to get yourself to a few more track days and cross promote it on as many sites as you can.

You may want to do a deal with a photo printing company like that snapfish so people can get them professionally printed.

BTTT for Mr Sherwin..................good website

The search facility is not working yet......

Phil, the best photo I've seen of yours (IMO of course) was at the POD......the moody black & white one of the nose/front of the Ferrari 360 in the cue for the 1/4 mile run.........Class pic

Thanks for the feedback people, much appreciated after a lot of hard work!

Do the pictures look ok to everyone? Some early testing feedback I received (from my mother ) was that the pictures appear too dark on her screen. Obviously this is a monitor setup issue but I was windering how widespread it is.

Doug, the search facility does work but I haven't entered any descriptions in the pictures yet. I wasn't sure on the time spent describing hundreds of photos against whther people really need it if they know what event they were at. I think I need to work something out on that front anyway, just not entirely sure what yet

Matt, Croft would be fine i'm sure.

Gareth, I was thinking much the same, there will be a next and previous button appearing sometime soon

Rad, whats the pc you are on? What error do you get? It should work on all PCs really

Pon,

Biscuittin, from what event?

Only suggestion that I've seen on other sites is the ability to search for your car more easily.

Say you have 15 pages like National Day Saturday - possibly list them by colour group as well, or some sort of shortcut to find it easier than having to go through each page one at a time.

GOT2BZETEC, unfortunately that would take days and days to sort for each event as it would be all manual and a lot of track cars dont have number plates anyway! Considering at best it will probably only make enough money to cover my fuel to and from a track day and nothing else I need to minimise the time on it!!

Looks good mate, but as above, they need to be split into smaller catagories - even if it's just on the time cars were on track (I guess you might even be able to do it automatically from the date stamp on the file?)

Good luck with it
