Revision History 2020
This is the 2020 revision history of the Lumen Perfectus Web site. Probably not of general interest, but it helps us keep track of the site's growth and maintenance.
We replace the "Photo of the Day" daily; we won't log those changes here.
Use the "newest photos" link in the table of contents at left to go directly to our most recent additions.
(2020)
- 04 April: We've had an irruption of dark-eyed juncos here, along with an early April snow storm. Today's photo addition is, not surprisingly, a close-up view of a junco in the snow.
- 28 March: We've added a landscape (above ground this time!) of rising sun lighting grassland in Wind Cave National Park.
- 27 March: Our March article, "Photos for Furniture," tells the story of an interesting photo project, making prints to apply to the sliding barn doors of an entertainment system cabinet. We dabble with prints on canvas, metal, and acrylic panel.
- 21 March: This week's addition is another photo from Wind Cave National Park. This is an 'artistic blur' made inside Wind Cave.
- 15 March: We've replaced a photo in the Abstract gallery with a picture made inside Wind Cave (in Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, U.S.) during a 2010 tour of the cave.
- 07 March: A recent shower of graupel left the pellets quite distinct on top of hard-pack snow. Afternoon sun lit the pellets making for nice light/shadow contrast. This week's addition is a long-lens photo of that, a bit of an experiment to see if the sparkle of the scene could be captured.
- 29 February: On this Leap Day we've added a photo of a small section of McDonald Falls in Glacier National Park.
- 25 February: This month's article, “The Silence of The Fans,” describes going to extremes to silence a loud fan in our Oyen Mobius 2C external drive box.
- 22 February: We've added a photo of a winter storm sunset, made from our home in west-central Montana.
- 15 February: This week we added a photo of a foggy sunrise from a 2014 trip to Beard's Hollow on the Washington coast.
- 02 February: In March last year we discovered a small ice cave on the shore of Glacier National Park's Lake McDonald. Today's addition is a close-up photo of the textured ice on the floor of that cave.
- 26 January: Our first article of the year, “Kind of Blue,” discusses how shadow areas in photos of snow and ice, especially in pictures made under sunny skies, often have a very blue color cast and why I prefer to mitigate this 'flaw' in our cameras.
- 25 January: This week's addition is a photo from October, 2018, of fall color and towering rock above the Clark Fork River near Garnet, Montana.
- 18 January: In keeping with the current season and weather, we've added a photo of heavy rime on the branches and needles of a Ponderosa pine tree. Adding this 2015 picture required shuffling some of those in our Ice gallery and removing a sub-par photo.
- 11 January: Adding a 2017 photo of Cannon Beach (OR) required shuffling most of the images in our Oregon Coast gallery. We also added a list of our three Oregon coast articles to each of the gallery pages.
- 04 January: Our first photo addition of the year is a 'high key' picture of a trumpeter swan and bright sky reflecting in a small local lake. The photo was made last spring when a pair of swans frequented the lake.
- 01 January 2020: Updated the Revision History and Home pages for the new year.
