New function

A new function will be added to the galleries as I update them.
The function shows the camera make and model, the focal length and the ISO.
First gallery to have this in effect will be the surf gallery.

Too many photos!

I filled a whole hard drive with nearly 20000 photos, so I had to move hard drives. This proved a time consuming task as I had to update the location of my folders in Lightroom.
Glad it's done though. So much more room for photos with a whole hard drive dedicated to the cause.

Photos previous mentioned in the last post are now finally uploaded.

Merry Christmas.

Trip #1 of summer holidays

Went to Fraser Island for 3 nights with low expectations.
Left Fraser feeling like I really underestimated the place.
Very photogenic place, but overrun by tourists. Shame.

Wish I took more photos!
I will surely have a few to upload over the coming days once I go through them all.
Check soon.

Busy man

Over the past few weeks I've been real busy with pretty much everything apart from this website.
So with this in mind, I will add some stuff ASAP when available.

New!

Hello.

New update in the WEB section.
It's the first website I made for myself.
Just found it again and decided to put it up.

It's probably 3+ years old. Haha.

Logo

Got a bit of a logo happening.
It's not the first design, but it certainly won't be my final logo.

Luckily I had it fixed within 24 hours.

Expect some updates quite soon...

New photos.

New photos up in:

- Surf Photography: Golden oldies of Wurtulla. Look near the end of the slideshow because they're the older photos.
- Fauna: Couple of old photos, from some of the first photos I had ever taken! Again, found to the end of the slideshow.

Should have some more updates coming into fruition soon.

Juices

The creative juices have been flowing the past week.
Just did some childish artworks, photoshopped into a black and white photo or 2 and you have a nice piece of art.

Pretty simple.
These digital images will be uploaded sometime this week hopefully.

Splat photos may be online tomorrow.
Can't upload now because my host is changing servers for better performance, or so they say.

Shoot

Hello.
Had some fun today with a few buckets of milk and some food colouring to throw at some friends for a photo competition. Splat photos will be online when they're ready.

New, but old.

New post.
Older update.

This was updated last week sometime, but hasn't been mentioned.
The 'Contact' page now features a little more information, and an image.

Another Update

Just letting you know the home page is now more interesting.
Refresh it for 1 of 16 random images that may appear.
Enjoy.

Lacking, but not really.

I've been lacking updates, but not content.

Finally finished the photo blog on Friday. It works, but I don't like it, or how many files I'll have to upload and how many codes I'll have to change to get it working on my site. So at the moment, it's abandoned.

In other news, I finally got some cables for my old scanner (thanks eBay).
Uploaded some terrible scans (adds to the effect?) of some film pics I had from my Minolta X-700, which I got from Lifeline for a steal. You can find them in the Leisure section of Photography.

I've recently got some more lenses for it (thanks again Lifeline), so I'm just waiting for some interesting subjects to show themselves.

More news, the menus have changed.
I decided that I don't really have time to design for my leisure, so I deleted that menu and the projects menu, and added graphic and web design. Much better I think.

Another update, just took some pictures of one of my first design projects. I was really into Angus and Julia at the time when their first LP was just released. So yeah, have a look in the Graphic section!

That's about it for now.
Enjoy.

Big, but small update.

Lots of work for me, but you probably won't see any of it.
Changed all my files to PHP files, so that I can now work dynamically.
The header and footer menus are now able to be dynamically changed, saving me time in the long run.

Got some major work to do on the photo blog page, as it's due on Friday!

Both of which should be available on the website by then.

1. Magazine Design, which will be in the Design menu.
2. The Photo Blog.

Check back in the coming days.

New assignment...

Work never ends.

Next assignment for one of my classes is to create a photo sharing page where users will be able to login and upload/delete their photos. It's due next week, so I'm not sure if it'll actually do any of that stuff, but I'll give it a go. Other things the website will need to do is display resized photos in a matrix and display larger photos when mouse over. It's a mixture of html, php and javascript.
Anyways, I'm trying to find out a way to include it into the website...
I'm thinking a possible photo blog?

Also gearing up a few new sections for the website...
Check again soon.

Pete.

Busy!

Been quite busy relaxing the past few days.
Been doing nothing but assignments over the holidays till half a week ago. Now I'm a bit relieved and ready to get back into it.
Lots of news, but none really related to the website, which is what this blog is about.
So, news in relation to the website. I stole a new camera (not literally) from a local op shop. Got it for a steal.
So when I get my scanner fixed, I'll create a film section (perhaps).
Start uni again next week, and will (hopefully) upload a new design project by next weekend.

Next assignment is magazine design which I'm excited about...

New...

Hello,

Added 2 new photos to the 'Things I Like' album.
They're night shots from the other night.

Happenings

Been busy with Design class assignments.
You'd think you'd only have to put half the usual effort into it if it's a group assignment, but it's actually opposite.
You need to put in double...

Anyways, once it's done I'll upload it to the projects section if I like the finished product.

Also received my EOS Photo5 competition pack.
Pretty keen to get cracking on it!

Holidays...

Are great.

But I haven't done that much on the website.

Here's what I have done.
- Uploads to the Surf Photography section.
- Uploads to the Flora section.

More Updates

In a world were quantity seems to shine over quality, I just try keep my export expectations to quality only.
Just went through 300+ new photos.
Most are usable (I could look at surf photos all day), but I only chose a few to upload.
Check out the surf section for new photos from this morning!
Also added a new photo to the fauna section.
And a few photos to the 'Things I Like' section.
I'm also gradually switching the galleries around so that the most recent photos come up first, for convenience.

The weekend is here for me, and now I'm on 2 weeks holidays.
Thank goodness.
I'll probably start designing a proper logo over the holidays.

Should look good.
Pete.

Thursday, September 10, 2009

Done! For now...

Hello,

Finally finished my first dynamic webpage.
It's basically a guestbook, but I hate that word, so I've called it, 'Hello'.
Basically, it's just for anyone to say hello, or comment my work.
Pretty pleased it's over with to be honest.
The assignment is due tomorrow and I've just finished writing 1000 words on it and creating flow charts, among other things that seem pointless.

Anyways, I didn't really want to post it up yet, but I thought it couldn't really hurt.
Plus, it's Friday tomorrow and I'm heading the Byron Bay this weekend.

Surf's been fun too.
So busy!

Pete.

Wednesday, September 9, 2009

Almost done...

Got the comments up and running today.
Assignment for it is due on Friday.

Will be up on peterpascoedesign.com by the weekend!

Coming along

The new dynamic page is coming along, slowly.
After hours of mistakes and frustration, the results are finally coming through.
It will be at least a few days before I try a prototype of 'hello'.
The assignment is due this Friday (I think), so should definitely see some results by then, because I'm pretty keen to test it out.

I have a few more photos ready to chuck up when the time is right.
Also a design project to upload once it's finished (most likely in 2 weeks).

Not good to be back to a Monday, but there's a bit of surf hanging around, and I'm nearly on holidays, so it's alright.
Check back soon.

Pete.

New feature!

I've started planning out a new section of the website called 'hello.' (for now), and it will utilise what I've been learning at uni to allow people to post a comment (hopefully).
It works out well, because I need to do this for an assessment at uni, so when/if I figure everything out, I'll update the webpage immediately.
This will be my first useful dynamic website.
It's also a lot of work, for not much design value (which is really not for me, but could be handy to learn either way).
Anyway, this assignment is due in a couple of weeks, so keep refreshing, ha ha.

Pete.

Friday, August 28, 2009

Updated

Finally got around to updating the website again.
Nothing huge.
Minor change to home page, and an updated flora gallery.
I Kinda like the first image in that gallery, although I'm hanging to get a newer/better camera for that kind of stuff.

Anyways, uni assignments are calling my name for another hour or so.
Then Friday Fever should kick in.

End transmission.

PHP

Really coming along and starting to understand basic PHP at the moment.
Currently working on how to leave comments on my work.
Should hopefully be a more interactive website in a few months.

I'm also about to start sketching some logo ideas.
Stay tuned.

Tuesday, August 25, 2009

A logo

Hello there,
I've just jumped back into the busy uni life after a bit of a relaxing weekend.
Last week was a little bit busy, although it's got nothing on the weeks to come...
Been scribling a few sketches during a boring 2 hour lecture on design history, which I pretty much did at school anyways.
I've come up with a few logo designs, although I'm sure there's something better out there.

Till next time,
End Transmission.

Friday, August 14, 2009

Uni

Currently sucks.
But, we're learning PHP and SQL at the moment.
My first assignment for that class is basically to create a dynamic version of my current website.
So, expect to see some dynamic changes in the future.
I'm also guessing I'll be uploading the assignment into a section once it's complete (in about 4 weeks).

Surf is calling my name.
End transmission.

Thursday, August 13, 2009

Busy, busy.

Been quite busy over the weekend, but haven't even thought about the website.
Got a hectic week at uni coming up, so probably won't post anything new for a while.
Reached 4000 hits over the weekend.
Pretty keen to hit 5000 now.

Friday, August 7, 2009

Hello.

Starting a blog...
Had to think about this, but thought it could be a nice addition to have instead of creating a 'news' section on my website.
So basically, I'll be updating this with news when there is any.
I'm guessing it will be frequently updated when I'm not away and when I don't have hectic uni assignments due.
Anyways, today I've added:

- New stuff in the 'surf' section called 'Half-hour at Sir Leslie's'.
- New stuff in the 'leisure/photography' section called 'Things I Like'.
- And a blog...

Weekend time now, so probably won't update the website for a few days.

p.s. also reached 3000 hits today... If only I was getting paid per hit!
