Help!!!

Hey wondering what people think of my new website. It's just the typical photographer website I suppose. Portfolio, blog etc. Any feedback whatsoever is very much appreciated!

My website is at Home - CHRISTOPHER RICE | PHOTOGRAPHY

Thanks just for visiting the site!

That is pretty cool. Your snaps are interesting, too. I would like to see some of the exif data from them, mainly to see what you are doing with white balance, and to see just how bright some of those beach type shots were. Chris, you need to start playing with white balance and filters. I like the idea of travel photography, for sure.

Thanks for checking out my site. As far as the exif data I can't access that since I edited the photos and saved them as pngs. The only thing I can tell you is I tried to give my photos the cross process effect.

Educate me on this cross process effect if you will please sir...

The only time I use pngs is if I am working with transparencies

I don't like the "green tinge" on the photos.

Cross process increases contrast with a sort unnatural color effect. At first I thought it gave off a strong emotional look but now it just seems a bit off. I just used pngs to increase the quality.

I'll upload a bunch more unprocessed photos asap. I've just been putting this photography website piece by piece while learning WordPress and I guess I'm neglecting the most important things. IST stands for Information Science and Technology so basically everything having to do with computers and information systems, analysis and development.

You images have an artsy, slightly washed out old Polaroid feel to them. Is that what you were aiming for? If so, I like it.

OK damnit I'm lazy and I don't want to look up cross process effect will someone please tell me what the hell it is? LOL

I think it may have to do with making your snaps look like Holga snaps or something but that is just a guess...kids nowadays I mean to tell you...

OK I looked it up..Lomography stuff I gather from a cursory glance...that explains the green mange.

Ever heard of red scale?

Costs processing was actually when a slide Film (E6 process)was processed in c41 colour negative film chemicals - giving it a weird and wonderful effect ! Each slide film had a different look depending on what colour chemicals are used - for example if it was procesed in Fuji chemicals yo would have got a more greenish blue tinge whereas Agfa usually gave you a reddish look ! But the beauty was that you never knew what you were gonna end up with.

jeff, if you have picasa it has a cross processing effect which will give a green tint effect.

Yes I read a little about it last night it is like what was said above ^. Digital is a bit different though in that Xprocessing with digital is very predictable as opposed to the unpredictability involved when using film.

Redscale is sort of the same type of deal except you shoot through film that has been flipped over backwards so that you are exposing the red layer of emulsion first.

I guess its not for the purest at heart. But thanks for your view.

I've just been putting this photography website piece by piece while learning WordPress and I guess I'm not worried so much as to what photos I throw up at the moment.

I've seen that on picasa. For me I used pixlr.com for my quick editing.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone.
Here is a photo I took in Door Country, WI a while back.
First link is the unedited and the second is edited. Let me know what you guys think!

I've seen this in picasa. I used pixlr.com to quickly edit the photos this time.

Does anyone know why the mod has not approved my post in this thread? It was a multi quote post. Any ideas?
