Update even more completed

noreply@blogger.com (Morris) — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 23:09:00 +0000

When I said last week that the update was completed, of course, I meant only for the time being as I've now added a tag cloud for the photos with tags included under the descriptions for each image.

Update Completed

Runrig (Hebrides Christmas 2007), originally uploaded by MacIomhair.

The current upgrade of this website is now complete.

The front page has been redesigned to give more emphasis to the photos than to some text.

Navigation has been simplified with a single controller button in the top-left which grows a menu tree.

Each image now has links to the previous and next images in the same gallery as well as links to the gallery, its slideshow and a special contact form solely for that individual image.

There is now a new page listing the various galleries, with each gallery represented by a mosaic of 8 thumbnails (one small, 7 tiny).

And there are a few cosmetic changes...

All this to make the browsing experience more pleasant and to make it easier to find what you are searching for.

Any comments / suggestions would be gratefully received.

As Flickr now offer the possibility of uploading video, I am experimenting with integrating video from there in here through the Blog, if successful, I may add it to the galleries.

BW HDR images from single colour image

noreply@blogger.com (Morris) — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 09:59:00 +0000

With the advent of digital photography, there are a multitude of means of obtaining a monochrome image. One method I have recently been experimenting with involves splitting an image into its component colours and then forming an HDR image from those components.

Why go through this lengthy process to produce a black and white image?

Splitting a colour image to its RGB components produces a very similar result to using a colour filter with black and white film, eg the red channel produces a red filter effect etc. When these elements are recombined as if they were different exposures, the HDR result is rather more interesting than taking a 'normal' HDR image and desaturating it.

Random Images

There is a new random image generator which produces a random thumbnail from the complete collection on the front page. A new image will be displayed on reload and is clickable to the full-size version.
