If you are into motorsport then have a look at this website:
www.marcwestphoto.com

He will cover races/track days etc. and does a very good job.
Cheers.

Zee little grey cells suggest that roo2 and Marc West may in fact be one and the same....?

Absolutely not....... he is a mate though.
But that should not stop you having a look should it?

Lighten up guys. A plug for something interesting or relavent is welcome, just not cheesy adverts masquerading as "Look what I just found"

Having said that, it seems a pretty lame site. Click on images and you get a single blurry image of a bike? Have I missed something?

Looks like a good idea. All I can see is one shot of a bike though.

Wait for the little grey buttons on the right hand side of the blurry bike to load up, then press them in turn.

Not associated with the bloke, never heard of him, all IMHO, blah, blah ....

  • Pictures are OK but not that exciting

  • Why oh why do people have to create web sites with 'transitional' effects - they just get in the way of the content and slow the whole thing down.

  • ...and a menu consisting of little grey boxes... argh.

All IMHO.

usually in-experience with web-design.. they tend to fire up Front Page and go 'Oooooooh - look at this effect it'll do..' without giving any thought to the crappy server side includes required, client side compatibility, download speeds and the masses of research on browsing habits which is avaiable.

Lesson 1 - Keep It Simple, Stupid!

IMO, my site is mostly a good example of this principle.

A bit off topic, but www.websitesthatsuck.com/
gives a few useful pointers to 'interesting' web design - by example...

I was very impressed with Toby and Mandy of The Big Picture Company (www.thebigpicturecompany.co.uk), who did our wedding photography. Toby used to be a photographer for Bike Magazine.
Here's some samples of what he did for me & my TVR on the day of the wedding:

Jeez that is one hell of a sideways shot, they look like photos that you are really proud of, just hope that the wedding photos will hold such great memories.
Have fun
