Introduction
This website presents the portfolio of Cornwall based Photographer David Carvey. On this page you will find information about the building, content, purpose and future of this website. Intimate Landscape is being constantly updated and I hope you will visit often to see what has been added recently.
About The Photographer
My name is David Carvey, and I have been taking landscape photographs, principally of Cornwall for about 5 years. My first camera was a compact digital Minolta which I had for about 18 months before graduating to my present camera which is a Nikon D300 DSLR. I have been interested in computers since the early 80's when I had a BBC micro, then an Amiga and finally a PC. I have always liked walking but it has only been recently that I have been able to indulge my interest with more time. A walk can be enhanced if you take photographs of the places you visit and with the advent of the internet I thought it was a good opportunity to put my portfolio online. I have taught myself webbuilding and what you see here is the result of my efforts. I have tried to make it as professional as possible, with an emphasis on ease of use. I hope you will find it interesting and informative.
The Website
This website went live in March 2009 and currently has about 170 images available. Software used in the construction of this website included Dreamweaver 8 for the creation of the individual web pages. Photoshop Elements for the banners, arrows and other web graphics. Photoshop Elements was also used for processing the photos. I hope that the pages will download on to your computer quickly and easily, but please let me know if you experience any difficulties. The site is best viewed with Internet Explorer or Firefox and with a minimum screen resolution of 1024 x 768. I have tested it on the latest versions of the most popular browsers
Photo Gallery
The Photo Gallery covers 6 categories and contains in excess of 170 images. Locations have been chosen to be representative of the southwest and include coastal, woodland, moorland, towns and villages. As this is an ongoing project new images are added constantly, so I hope you will visit often. Visit the Portfolio Start Page
