My Astrophotography Site

Yes, I know, shameless spam. Anyway, I've finally put up a site of my astrophotography. I'd like some feedback about the design, as I'm not a very creative person...

Wow, that's pretty cool. Those saturn pictures are awesome. If I had to date a planet I'd date Saturn.

Thanks - it's a stretch, but are you thinking the rings look like boobs?

tribdog

I don't care for stretched boobs.

Lisa!

If there was a planet or star in that man's hand(I guess that's you), it looked better!

Those are some amazing pics! I love the moon ones.

Really cool! I wish I had a good telescope...

Geek.


Beautiful photos though. I was thinking of getting a half-decent telescope and camera mount, but found something else to spend my money on instead...

The site looks excellent. Are you a member of any astronomy clubs in your area or do you just dabble alone?

Your pics are nice Russ.
The site also looks good. Pretty clean and minimalist.
The link to your links page was dead when I tried it. Might just be my computer though.

I'm getting a "Not Found" too.

Great site Russ. I especially love your "Deep space" pics.

Very nice stuff russ. I like those mars shots, much better than the naked eye views I've ever gotten of it. And of course, Saturn is amazing to see.

Clearly "not creative" --- legible font, readable color against a contrasting background, pictures labelled and in order --- even I can find my way around and understand what I'm seeing.

Nice site. I added it to my favourites, and I'll see the progress in the time to come. :)

Yeah, that's me - can't tell I'm an engineer, can you? No, I haven't made that page yet. But PF will be on top when I do... Thanks - no, I'm not a member of any clubs, though I really should find one to join. Yeah, that's the benefit of simplicity - I wish I could say that was intentional, but I think I'd be more creative if I could be.

Please don't get too artsy --- it has deleterious effects on political positions.
