Photo Site in Beta [UPDATED]

[hunter]

Just an FYI for you guys that I am building a new site to display my Las Vegas photos.

I have several thousand photos of Las Vegas and I'm looking forward to share them with you all. I expect a first, test version of the site to be done very soon.

I'll post the address right here once it's ready.

Been working on this again tonight. I have over 5,000 photos and we're really close to being done.

Hooray!

Ok, the first 'beta' version is live:

Please give it a look and let me know what you think.

I have some changes I want to make but I love feedback.

[hunter]

I see that some categories don't have photos in them - I will be fixing that soon.

The earlier categories are populated...

[hunter]

The goal of this photo site was to have a simple way to view my thousands of photos while still having the links back to my main site.

The design is very simple and that is intentional. The photos are the stars of the page.

Great job on the photos Hunter. I did miss the ablilty to view them as a slideshow tho. Is that possibel to do?

Good site. Didn't look at all of the locations, just the ones of the casinos I am familiar with. Am wondering what kind of room was Jennifer staying in? I have stayed at Harrahs and Paris, but my rooms looked nothing like that. Have stayed in regular, mini-suite and luxury suite at Harrahs and none of the rooms looked like what you are showing for Jennifer. Just curious if you could be more explicit in the level of room those pictures represent.

I did the view the Fitzgerald and if that is a normal room, then that looks great. Would love to try them.

[hunter]

Slideshow - good idea. That feature isn't there now but I will put it on the list.

As far as what room, I can try to find out.

[hunter]

FYI, the photo site now includes 1,000 more photos.

The photographs are amazing!

Thanks for the kind words. FYI, we just added pictures from this weekend so give it another look if you're interested.

Hunter it is incredibly obvious that you have worked extremely hard on these photos. I am still looking through them, and have enjoyed seeing the Wynn from start to finish.

Wish I had a camera that takes such great photos.

Thanks for the pictures.

[hunter]

Thanks!

I love taking Vegas photos, as you can see, I have thousands.

Glad you are enjoying them.

Hmmm, what am I missing::confused: when I try to use the pictures for background the they are really fuzzy????

[Mr.C]

What kind of camera are you using?

[hunter]

Most of these were taken with a Canon Digital Rebel.

As far as using the photos for your background, I'm not sure why they would be fuzzy but I do plan to offer a really high resolution version for folks that want them.

[plaporta]

I remember hotels like the Landmark
but never took photos

[hunter]

I love photo submissions - if you have great photos, send them to me at editor@ratevegas.com

Maybe if Hunter can make it to the get together he'll take some pictures and post them also then you will see what I look like! Maybe that's NOT a good idea? :D
