Greetings all,
It is with great pleasure that I introduce myself, Ewan, son of Jim of The Green Machine. I already know a bunch of UKAPS bods in person through the excellent TGM & UKAPS events.
I have worked for TGM for about 14 months or so and during that time I developed a love for aquascaping (its hard not to when you are in TGM).
http://www.AquascapeGallery.com is a website that I created in my own time because I thought it was a good idea; an online gallery for the documentation and display of aquascapes where the users can vote on each aquascape so that they can be browsed and sorted by popularity. Something that it does that other websites do not is to give each user their own page located at a simple website address and viewable by non registered users. This makes it really easy for AG users to point people to their work.
The website has a simple, clean layout and 'slideshow' viewing effects which complement the display of art. Someone (whether registered or not) can visit the website, browse to a particular user, or list all aquascapes by popularity, then sit back and watch a slideshow of the images. I really like how it works and think its a great way for people who are new to aquascaping to get a good feel for what its all about. Each new aquascape that is uploaded will serve as a better advertisement for the hobby.
Since presenting the finished website to The Green Machine they have given AG their full support because they love the site. They are sponsoring the current Aquascaping competition which is currently being held by AG. The prize for the winner is a £50 TGM voucher and, with their permission, the artist and their tank will appear in TGM's monthly newsletter and national magazine (UK) advertising campaign. Its a great prize and the competition will be a lot of fun all round.
I really hope that you all like it, it feels good to be able to contribute to the hobby in a positive way.
Please do add your aquascapes to the site, it will help its growth and promote the hobby in general.
Best regards to everybody...
