Award Sounds

The Relaunch of alancward.co.uk as a photographic site

Posted Sun, 05/31/2009 - 19:26 by Alan

I used to use this site domain as a test-bed for another site (Award Sounds). I've decided I want to separate out some of the content from that site and so, from now on, I'm going to change this site to become a photographer-centric site.

Specifically, I'll showcase my images, photographic news and information I think others will be interested in. Rather than tack the site down for a few weeks, I'll continue to let it run and change it over bit by bit.

About Me

Hi,

I'm a photographer and I've been interested in photography ever since first getting my head around aperture and exposure back in school.

Separately to photography, I've been a business consultant with a variety of skills and experience in a number of industry sectors for over 12 years. For the last couple of few years, I've been specialising in business change, most recently within the public sector, but keeping up my general Business Analysis skills.

Upcoming upgrade to Drupal 6

Posted Sat, 02/23/2008 - 21:47 by Alan

This site is running Drupal 5.x. Great as that version of Drupal is, there are a few items in Drupal 6 I've been looking forward to. Mainly some of the functionality provided by contributed modules for Drupal 5.x has been brought into the core of Drupal 6.

This site is currently a test-site for my main site at Award Sounds. As such any upgrades will be performed here first and then on that site when I'm happy with the results.  read more »

The Greenkeying Journey

Posted Tue, 01/15/2008 - 16:24 by Alan

Background
I've been trying to use free software for video editing, mainly for editing the background in a green-screen. So far I haven't had much success, best results coming from Cinelerra primarily due it having the best combination of user interface and functional features. Some had better user interfaces, but lacked the specific green screen features I required.  read more »
