Captions are visible on each thumb ... a description is available when viewing an acctual image.

If anyone has any creative ideas on captions / names for images, or indeed descriptions please let me know?

I sort of whacked it together as i went.

(and excuse any minor grammar omissions, ill fix them up :) )

Looks good Darb.
One thing I noticed though, was that some of the labels on the main page are half covered by the images. Check the spacings, although could that be a resolution thing with my moniter? Or have others noticed this too?

Yep... I get the same thing, but only on the images that are in the portrait orientation... The frame around the thumbnail overlaps the label/title...

Morning mate...yep great idea, I wish more sites would do this. Sometimes a photo speaks for itself but I love knowing exactly what the photo is about. So I give your captions two thumbs up.

I also love being able to access the exif data for shots...I know this is gallery but perhaps a link to the exif on each shot???? But yeah, maybe that would detract from the sales kinda feel the page has...and it really is only of benefit to photo nuts like us anyway (Jo Blo couldnt care les about what white balance and flash exposure you used!!).

Cheers

yeah ive turned off much of the technical nerdy stuff as i wanted it to be a bit more arty / professional, and kinda thought that technical information may detract from that. (makes people more inclined to think "hey thats just a digital image, i can take that with my girlfriends $300 kodak point and shoot digital, which, granted, could actually be done, but its beside my point :) )

Wow, awesome collection, and I love some of the captions.

Nearly choked on my drink with the "Oh what a feeling", all that sand flying around, great stuff!
