2013 Ballroom Dance Photography

Ballroom Dance photography - ©TimeLine Media

Turning over the New Year is always a time to look back on the previous year. I had planned to go back to look over my images from 2013, and post my favorites on the blog. Maybe I would add more back story to some of them, and some insights into the images after some time that they were taken. But, I have not yet found the time to do so! I will have to do it this week, though, since this upcoming Monday is a big day for these images.

2013 Looking Back

Next Monday, January 13, 2014, will be the last day to view the re-uploaded images on the proofing site. Before the holidays, the website re-released all the events that TimeLine Media covered in 2013 for holiday photo ordering. Thank you to everyone that came back to the website to view and purchase photos! We are so happy that you found some favorites to hang on your walls, and display on your Facebook pages. We love seeing everyone enjoy the images of their dancing!

After Monday, the events on the website will be removed and put back in to the archives so that we can make more room for upcoming events. We have many planned for the year, and I am sure all the dancers are working on bigger and better things to photograph at competition. Any of the older events that we have covered can still be retrieved from the archive, but it is $30 to go back, get the files, and re-upload them to be viewable. So this is your last chance to see these for free! Please share the links to the events to your friends, family, and studio mates, and encourage anyone that did not attend, to come out to the competitions this year! We hope to have another great year of dancing and photography.

TimeLine Media Proofing Site Upgrades

Whew! The upgrades to the TimeLine Media proofing site are now completed. Additionally, the changes were implemented without any hitches so far. I would like to ask a favor of those of you that have visited the site before. Could you please come back and visit the website to see if you run into any bugs? If there are any issues, I would like to see if they can be fixed before the next big event. Of course it is completely free to view, and share the photos online as always. However, if you find a photo you want as a print or digital download, you can enter the coupon code:

This will take $5 off any order placed until next Monday. I have tested the site myself, and it works for me, but experiences can be different when many people try. It is not much different in appearance from the previous version, but here is what the new site looks like!

Website Launch

As far as new features, there is a mobile site that is better for mobile phones to access photos. This version of the site will allow the images to be loaded faster than with the full site. In this site, you can view all the photos on the website, and mark some of your favorites as you see them. You cannot, though, purchase any products in the mobile version of the site. In order to place orders, you need to switch to the Full Site version which you can do from the Home page. Here is a screen shot of where you can switch between the 2 versions if needed:

Once you click on the “View full site” you will switch to the version of the site where purchases can be made from your smart phone. The full site is the default version of the site that will be shown when you are on a PC, iMac or an iPad which have larger screens. Please note that if you do may purchases on iPads or other mobile devices, you need to immediately save your photos locally to your device. The website only allows one download of your photo per purchase by default. I can reset that for you, but it would be easier to just save your download as soon as you see it.

Contact Information

I know that this is a very techy-geeky post – thanks for reading this far! If you have any problems with the site, please let me know by email: rassi @ timelinedc.com, or phone me: 703-864-8208. Thanks again, and let me know how it goes. I’ll leave you with at least one photo looking across Belmont Bay to my hometown of Woodbridge, VA – taken by my mobile phone, and developed with the Snapseed app from Google:

Proofing Website

This upcoming Wednesday, I am planning an upgrade to the proofing website. The current site is working just fine, but there is a new version of the software available. There are some features that some of you have requested including a simple slideshow for viewing your photos. There is also a version that is specifically made for iPad users! Smartphone and iPads are used to view the websites more and more, so I am looking to make sure you get the full experience going forward.

On Wednesday, I will close the proofing website for testing. The self tests on the website should not take long, so there should be a seamless transition to the new software. I will post here on the blog when it is completed. Please try it out and let me know how you like the new features. If there are any issues, I will work to get them fixed before the next new event. Of course, I would be happy to help if there is something you cannot find n there. Thank you!
