News / Blog - Tallpictures News

As part of the continuing development of this NEW WEB SITE which will eventually replace my old one I have made improvements to the NEWS & BLOG Page. It now includes a picture with each update which is a 'live' link to the relevant Gallery. This should make finding the latest updates easier.
All important updates to this Web Site will be reported on the NEWS/BLOG page so make it a regular visit and you won't miss a thing!
The old web site still has all the old Archive of Motor Sport, Sport, Gig & Bands pics and can be viewed here:
THE OLD MILLPOND PHOTOGRAPHICS WEB SITE

I specialise in high resolution, wide angle stitched panoramic pictures.
This is a form of production that uses a number of separate photographs which are then seamlessly joined to produce a picture that can be printed 60" wide or more. The detail that can be seen is amazing!
When a panorama is made from pictures taken at 26 metres high you end up with a view that has never been seen before.
I have added some new panoramas to the Galleries. Unfortunately it is impossible to see how much impact these panoramas have when looking at web sized pics, however I hope you get a 'feel' for the views.
I have large scale sample prints that can be viewed by contacting me on 07781 144525 or by e-mail E-mail Andrew Le Poidevin where I will arrange to meet you and quote prices for any size to suit.
Many of my Panoramic Montages have been reproduced in the book written by Rob Batiste titled 'Guernseys Coast'.

OK, so now the excuses! Christmas, in one word! I have to thank all you guys and girls for all the orders of Prints, Montages, Digital Files and Canvases. The preparation and production of these orders has taken a great deal of time... I know, I spend too much optimising each print!

There is another excuse as well! I currently have a 'broken' main PC. Windows 7 has thrown a huge tantrum and refuses to boot up after crashing. I have spent several days trying to rebuild Win7 using DOS as the built-in restore didn't work. I am now resigned to a reinstallation with all the activation problems with Photoshop and all my other programs... there is no shortcut.
If I can offer one bit of advice - thankfully I take my own advice - BACKUP YOUR FILES - I have backups of backups of backups...
UPDATE: It looks like I have the Computer fully restored from backups. What a HUGE hassle but I don't think I have lost a thing!! Pictures, e-mails, programs, settings, the lot have all been restored from back-ups

I have updated the Tallpictures Galleries with more of my Commercial work. Much of this work is completed using my Elevated Photography Masts. The main mast is deployed from a custom made Studio van. It extends to 26 metres and provides a true 'birds-eye' point of view. I also have a 17 metre remote set-up mast which provides coverage in the areas where a vehicle cannot go.
Many different uses can be found for Elevated Photography and they include Property Sales, Roof & Land surveys, Commercial Buildings, Construction Sites, Events & Special Occasions, Advertising & Promotional work. New Galleries can be viewed here LATEST UPDATES TO TALLPICTURES

I have added a little more content to the TALLPICTURES Gallery. I am now showing a wider selection of Stitched Panoramas. This area of my business is very popular and something I specialise in. Many of the pictures have been produced using seven or eight individual pics taken from the Elevated mast. The final result is very high resolution and will print in a large format. I have sold many sized up to 72 inch wide! They look spectacular. Several of the scenic views will feature in Rob Batiste's new book titled 'COAST'. Take a look at the Galleries CLICK HERE

I have added a link to the old Millpond Photographics web site on the left-hand menu.

All the old picture archive is still shown there. Over the next weeks I will bring much of the archive across to this site so it can benefit from easier navigation, bigger pics and online sales. Until then you can click on the link to go staight there. You are still able to order any pics by taking a note of the number which is revealed when you press INFO.

ALL NEW UPDATES WILL BE MADE ON THIS NEW SITE so it is important that you update your bookmarks and links.

As the development of this new site continues may I thank all of you who have taken the time to comment and make suggestions. With all your help, I hope that a straightforward and clear browsing experience will be on offer. The real test will be when a lot more content is added as it is always a challenge to be have a web site with a large amount content that only takes a few 'clicks' to find what the visitor is looking for. We like a challenge, don't we!

I have been 'tweaking' the formatting of the site and have added various new sections with information. It is still very much a 'work in progress' but it now has the core structure in place.
I intend to make all future Gallery updates to this site but the old one will remain in place for some time as it contains an archive of well over 20,000 pictures! This number shocked me when I realised.
Many of the old Galleries will be added to this site as time allows. E-mail me with any comments on the new design andrewlep@guernsey.net.

This is a new version of the Tallpictures|Guernseymotorsport web site. It is in the very early stages of development and I will be adding a large amount of content over the next few weeks. I hope that the viewing experience is much improved with larger pictures and thumbnails. The purchase of prints is also much easier with on-line Credit Card payments now taken by Paypal... hope you like! Please e-mail if you have any comments andrewlep@guernsey.net
