Let’s take a look at what options you have inside a gallery.

First of all, the way that you get to ‘PhotoRank/Help’ and ‘Photo Sizes’ is by hovering your mouse over the upper right side of the image.

1. Buy – here you can choose to buy either the photo you are watching right now or the whole gallery, buy means either print, download or merchandise (t-shirt, mug etc.).
2. View Cart – like a normal shopping cart on the web, after you have put either prints, merchandise and/or downloads in it, this is where you check-out and pay.
3. Share – gives you the following options:
   1. Sharing on social networks like Facebook and Twitter
   2. Send links on social bookmarking sites like Digg This, Stumbleupon and many more
   3. e-mail a link
   4. Get a link to use in your blog etc.
4. Slideshow – watch a cool full screen slideshow of the gallery
5. PhotoRank/help – Please rank the photo, if you like it or not, you can also get to the official SmugMug help site this way.
6. Photo Sizes – hit one of the sizes and it shows you the photo in a light box in that particular size

As you can see, lots of options and I will go in to detail with every single option in some upcoming posts, so remember to bookmark this site, sign up for the RSS feed or remember to return soon.

Until next time enjoy my photos on www.torbensphotos.com

Very short introduction to the menu bar:

• Skiing – you will find only photos and video taken with and of my clients
• Diving-  photos is from my PADI Courses, Instructor Development courses, Underwater life, Around Crystal Dive and the life on our dive boats
• My Places – where I spend most of my time, so general photos and not including clients and/or students
• Portfolio – my best shots from all of the worlds – yet to be uploaded

Lets talk about the numbers on the photo above:

1. Please follow me on Twitter, because here you will get more or less daily updates about when I upload new photos or what else I happening either regarding my diving courses or how the snow conditions is like in the Arlberg region and where it might be good to ski etc. I recommend to sign up for a RSS feed, just click the icon in the top of your browser and copy that link to your preferred RSS reader.
2. Guestbook & Contact – please take your time and write a couple of lines in my guestbook it will help me to know what you and other people are thinking about my photo site and also about my skills as a photographer. Obviously you will also find a contact form here, one of many ways to get in touch with me.
3. About me – don’t know much about who ‘Torben Gregersen’ is then have a look here and read about my diving and skiing career, want to know more about why I take photos, go to the ‘about’ page on my blog.
4. Find – this is a very interesting page with lots of different ways to find photos on torbensphotos.com, I will take more about this menu tab in a later blog post, until then a look inside and play around with it.
5. Search – another way of finding photos, mainly it works with keywords, that could be ‘skiing’, so type in a word and it will open up a new tab/window with all of those photos that have that particular keywords attached to it.

At the bottom of the home page, you have 2 options:

1. E-mail me – this link you will find at the bottom of all of the pages, so it is very easy for you to get in contact with me.
2. Help – click this link and you will get the official and full help section from SmugMug, it might be a bit overwhelming which is why I’m writing these small bits to keep it more simple.

That’s it for now, stay tuned and more will follow shortly.

Here is a list of the most interesting things:

• Be social – share a photo or more on facebook, twitter, friendfeed and tumblr or you can bookmark it on various social bookmark pages
• Watch a slide show
• Watch photos in different sizes
• Search for photos after: keywords, dates or popularity
• Map – view a map of the world and see where there are photos
• Google Earth – if a photo is geo tagged, you can see exactly where that photo was taken – very cool
• Print or download a photo
• Give thumbs up/down
• Comment on a single photo or the whole gallery

So in each of the up comming blogs I will dig more into the points above, trying to make it as structured as possible, so it will be easy to find what you are after.
