Italy Pictures Are Up
by Paul • June 29, 2008 • 12:34 AM • Comments: 0
Exactly one month to the day after our return from Italy, the photographic documentation is ready for viewing. We took over 300 pictures, and I have painstakingly winnowed that count down to a hundred or so that really capture the essence of the trip. I diligently cropped and edited them. I hope you appreciate all the work that has gone into the presentation.
- I bought the newest version of Photoshop Elements, since my old version won't run in Leopard.
- I cropped, edited, improved contrast and saturation, corrected camera distortion, rotated, fill-flashed, and otherwise improved the pictures for your viewing pleasure. But they still maintain that in-the-moment rawness that you crave.
- I installed Gallery (open source photo gallery software) on the website to add new functionality (but an inferior aesthetic) to the photo page. However, this is a tradeoff for the greatly reduced amount of time I have to spend manually editing HTML and tweaking CSS code. And you can view the pictures in multiple resolutions.
- I have painstakingly written terse and cursory captions for over half of the photos.
So I hope you enjoy the presentation. It is here: Paul, Corinne, and Thea's Italian Adventure 2008.
