new website

Monday, 24 November 2008

Howdie all. Nattnee Photography finally has a proper website. Please check out www.nattnee.com and have a poke around.

It's fairly simple and I have yet to populate more images and write the "about"section.

Please let me know your feedback (good and bad) so that I can improve my site. All comments and suggestions welcome.

Absolutely love it! (24 November 2008 11:39)

simple yet elegant website. More photos please!!..Those travel photos are awesome!! (24 November 2008 13:21)

Congrats Natt! (24 November 2008 15:58)

Really nice and simple I like it!! The only thing I miss, "next" and "back" buttons. If I want to go through on all photos in a sectin, I always use those buttons. Clicking everytime on the small photo-icons is not the best way to do it. Hope this helps. Love your photos! (24 November 2008 20:03)

ooh good feedback...thanks...i'll see if i can add those buttons in =) (24 November 2008 20:12)

jane chan - celebrant

Monday, 13 October 2008

Jane and I went to school together but we didn't really keep in touch until some time last year when we bumped into each other in the streets. Funny out of all the people from high school I could bump into, it happened to be Jane who is also in the wedding industry as well.

Jane is a marriage celebrant and here's some quick shots I snapped of her before we had the worst Korean lunch last week. I'm so picking the place next time =p

Check out Jane's website if you need a marriage celebrant or some info on getting hitched in Australia.

Ciao!

gotta keep the wife happy. A happy wife is a happy life :) (19 September 2008 15:41)

Must've been some logo! (19 September 2008 15:46)

I think I see the black edge on the left, I thought you would have gotten the white model Natt? (Kim) (19 September 2008 20:46)

Woo hoo, everyone seems to be getting one of these bad boys! Congrats :) (30 September 2008 10:46)

Since you have an iPhone now, when is the iPhone formatted version of your blog going to be available? (11 October 2008 16:39)

behind the scenes

Friday, 5 September 2008

That's me, standing precariously on the log. One faltered foot and I would've been in the water. Two shots later, my legs started getting wobbly from fear of falling. I stepped off.

Can I swim? Not very well at all but I was more worried for the camera for it surely won't survive a swim in the habour!

Thanks to Gordon for this behind the scenes shot =)

I love the discarded shootsac in the foreground... "Don't forgettt meee... Mummmyyy"

Cool! I love it!

Good to see a photographer risk their life and camera (most importantly ;)) for a good shot.. ;) (05 September 2008 10:52)

My thoughts for the discarded shootsac - if I go down, do I really want ALL my lens to go with me? No =) (05 September 2008 10:59)

I know if I go down, I'm going to chuck my camera onto dry land before I land in the water...

If I was about to get hit by a car.. I will use my body as a cushion for my camera.. LOL!! (05 September 2008 15:31)

I know that log well, it's not that wide! You are a brave brave woman :) (30 September 2008 10:49)

stylin new blog

Tuesday, 24 June 2008

Hooray! After picking up a CSS book last week and spending many many late nights coding up the new template for this blog, I have finally finished! Tada!

I had fun coding it but boy am I glad it's all over. It has been totally consuming my life for the past few days. You may think meh it looks a little plain but I'm happy with what I've achieved considering I just picked up CSS and no I ain't touching it for a while!

BTW this wasn't done with the new blogger layout thing if you were wondering what's the big deal with this simple layout. This was all hand coded and perhaps it wasn't the smartest thing to do but hey I learnt new stuff =)

As plain and simple as it may be, it sure looks a lot better than what I had before! I'll need to get random pics going for the header at some stage down the track and find out how to add a search but those can wait for a while. I need to get on with other more important things!

Please let me know if you find any bits of this blog buggy, I'd really appreciate it. If an issue is going to come up it'll be in IE6 I bet you so if you're using that, go on, convert to Firefox or Safari =)

Love the layout Natnee... It's so clean. I feel like if I touch the screen it's going to smudge it... (obviously it's going to smudge the screen), but, I mean, the layout.. :P Anyways, loving your work! Keep it up! (25 June 2008 23:49)

logo - the verdict

Friday, 6 June 2008

Last week I put up a few logo designs and asked family, friends and even strangers to tell me which they thought was the best logo. Everyone liked totally different designs! There was no clear winner apart from maybe the original which I still don't like. I was getting so much headache and thought it was best to not play around with it for a bit.

Today, I picked up where I left off and finally found the winner! It's not even on that last batch but it's something I'm happy with. I only asked for a couple of opinions this time and that's probably a good thing. So here it is:

It's not the most unique, flashiest, greatest, whatever-est but I'm happy with it and happy to move on with life argh! Next bit is business cards and revamping the site and blog.

Thanks to Sylvia for pointing out the little details. Now don't you dare tell me you still like the original! You can think it but you can't say it hehe =p

need a new logo

Wednesday, 28 May 2008

My current logo doesn't sit right with me and it's been bugging me for a while. A friend said that it's not something I really need to worry about right now since it's not a real business yet. I know he has a point. I don't actually have a photography business with clients lining up at my door but I am who I am and a part of me is occasionally a perfectionist and well this bugs me and I can't move on ok?! =p

So I have designed some new logos. It's not easy you know. I wanted a logo that represent my style of work which I think can be described with words like: modern, bright, vibrant, happy, simple, clean. I don't know if I have achieved that representation with my new designs and although none of these are "the one", we all do need to get on with life and I really need to start working on more important things right now.

This is not final btw, especially the colours. I just wanted to get some new ideas going. As for the flowers, there is a reason behind it I promise. Anyway, if you are reading this, would you please help me out and tell me what you think? All comments, critiques and new ideas welcome =)

p.s. #1 is my current logo

Labels: general

now you're getting us all involved in your obsessive compulsive nature. but now that i got myself in here, might as well give you my 2 pence. I go for 2, only coz 19-20 is too much (ie. not simple) and your name stands out more.

Good luck. (28 May 2008 22:40)

I like number 1~ (30 May 2008 03:26)

Wow~ that's nice work nattnee! Must say I'm quite impressed!

I do like 1, 3 and the one with just the logotype (just text).

If i had to chose i think 3 is my fav. The others are good too but i think some flower motifs may have a 'sanitary-feminine' look about it and whilst the crest logo looks great it may also look kinda 'night-clubby.

Now i'm interested to see what photos u can take! (02 June 2008 21:07)

this post is going to stick

Saturday, 12 April 2008

Ok so this isn't the first time I've tried a first post. It's a bit hard not having this thing customised. I simply can't blog like this! =p

Anyway...I'm going to try and make some time to pretty this up very soon!
