Portfolio Website

[kluisi]

Hey everyone...I haven't been active in a while because work has been very busy and I've been going through thousands of old photos and re-processing (and in some cases processing them for the first time - other than a default settings RAW to JPG conversion with View NX2) them with my new copy of Lightroom 5. In going through all of the old photos, I have found some of the ones that I consider my best work and posted them on a portfolio website.

I am not really looking to do much with it at the moment (I'm not going to start a full-time business or anything), but I would like to show people that I am a quality hobbyist photographer and possibly turn that into family sessions for friends and by word of mouth if my sessions go well (so I guess I'd be semi-pro at that point). I would not be interested in doing weddings unless someone asked me to second shoot for them (I don't want that kind of pressure) and I'm not looking to make a ton of money out of it, but I thought that it might help to fund some higher quality lenses, some accessories that I'd like to add to my camera bag, and a possible switch to FX in the future.

Anyway, that should be enough background on what my intent is here, so here is the link to my portfolio:

I wasn't sure what area of the forum to post this in (so feel free to move it if there was a better place), but I would appreciate any comments on the photos on the site. Which are your favorites? Are there any that should be removed? How did I do with my first real experience with Lightroom? Please let me know what you think and feel free to follow me and/or leave comments on Coroflot too if you would like.

Would it be easier for everyone if I just posted the pictures directly here? I would like to get some feedback on the site itself though. I am currently constrained to what Coroflot allows me to change, but if there are enough issues with it, I would be willing to switch to another site (please give recommendations).

Thanks in advance if you are able to spare the time to take a look.

Personally, I think you will get better response if you post them here in the forums. People usually don't want to be "troubled" to go to another site (maybe not the best way to state it, but at the moment I can't think of the words I want. Ha!).

OK...Thanks for the response. Maybe I will start a Personal Daily Pictures thread and put everything in there to get comments on just the pictures then. I would still appreciate any feedback on the actual site itself, but I will look to the other thread for comments on the pictures. Hopefully, I can get that thread started tomorrow. Thanks again.
