Revision History 2019
This is the 2019 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.
(2019)
- 20 April: We've added another photo of ice along the shore of Glacier National Park's Lake McDonald. This required adding a ninth(!) page to the ice/snow gallery. We'll do a clean-up project on this gallery to remove some sub-par pictures and watermark those that aren't. Real Soon.
- 16 April: A complete overhaul of our Yellowstone 'scenics' gallery was uploaded today. We rescanned and reprocessed all of the film images from 2001-2006; watermarked all images that weren't; deleted several sub-par photos, reducing by one the number of pages in the gallery; updated all of the 'purchase a print' links to point to the .php pages.
- 13 April: We've added another photo of ice along the shore of Glacier National Park's Lake McDonald.
- 06 April: This week we've added a photo of a small ice cave on the shore of Lake McDonald. The picture was made last weekend when we spent a day in Glacier National Park, where it's still very much winter. To make room for this we removed a sub-par photo from the Ice gallery.
- 30 March: Added a photo from last April's trip to Bandon Beach on the Oregon coast.
- 29 March: Our new article, “Host With The Most,” describes the benefits of dumping the Web/email hosting service we've used for many years, replacing them and our domain name registrar with a new (to us) company.
- 23 March: We've added a photo of a tiny crab spider on a serviceberry blossom, made in early morning sun in May, 2007. We deleted a photo of a yellow bear caterpillar made years ago with a point-and-shoot camera. We also fixed a number of outdated links on our Gear page.
- 16 March: This week's addition is a photo of common yarrow poking out of a couple of feet of snow.
- 13 March: Deleted several ancient articles, updated a couple to .php and fixed numerous outdated links in those articles. Converted our Glacier Workshop (2004) images page to .php. No new content.
- 09 March: Today's addition is a photo made yesterday of Canada geese (Branta canadensis) landing in a patch of open water on western Montana's Flathead Lake.
- 02 March: This week we've added a 2007 photo (one of our first with a DSLR) of a pair of ring-billed gulls on the shore of western Montana's Flathead Lake. This picture replaces one of a yellow-headed blackbird we decided to remove from the site.
- 26 Febuary: This month's article, “Isn't It Wonderful?,” is an off-topic description of building and installing a Pi-hole, “A black hole for Internet advertisements,” on our network.
- 20 February: We've overhauled our large gallery of Glacier National Park scenic photos. Several older (sub-par) pictures have been removed, most of the film images have been rescanned and reprocessed (sometimes with a very different result), and all of the photos are now watermarked.
- 16 February: We've added a photo from 2009, of a black meadowhawk dragonfly in Montana's Ninepipe NWR. We also 'converted' the Bugs gallery's first page to .php.
- 09 February: Another photo from 2008, this made on Avalanche Lake in Glacier National Park. While the picture of a pair of sunlit stumps reflecting in the lake is a bit abstract, we placed in in our 'Water' gallery as it contains some similar work.
- 02 February: Similar to last week's addition, but photographed two years later, this 2004 picture from Glacier National Park's Swiftcurrent Lake shows Grinnell Point and Mt. Wilbur lit by a rising September sun.
- 28 January: Our first article of the year, “Versatility,” was inspired by a reader comment to a posting on a popular photographic blog. The comment led me to consider the wide range of subject matter and 'style' in my body of work, and whether or not versatility is a drawback.
- 26 January: Today's addition is a photo from September, 2002, of sunrise on Mt. Wilber across Glacier National Park's Swiftcurrent Lake. The slide was 'discovered' as we work our way through updating and watermarking the pictures in our Glacier gallery.
- 20 January: We've completed an overhaul of our Glacier - Lake McDonald gallery. The pages were changed to .php, all of the pictures in this gallery have been watermarked and the 'purchase a print' links updated to the .php page. All of the early pictures from slide film were reprocessed, in some cases resulting in a very different look. Changing the pages to .php required updating some links in the Glacier gallery, the Site Map page, and the Galleries page. We also added links to our MORA national park gallery, which had somehow been missed. All of this resulted in a pretty large update affecting nearly 20 pages.
- 19 January: This week's addition is a photo of Wyoming's Devils Tower, from our visit there in October, 2018.
- 12 January: Today's 'new' photo is of western Montana's Flathead Lake, looking across Polson Bay toward 'The Narrows' with the Swan Range in the distance. The photo was made in April, 2007, making it one of our first with a DSLR.
- 08 January: We've completed an overhaul of our 'Palouse (Washington)' gallery. All of the pictures in this gallery have been watermarked and the 'purchase a print' links updated to the .php page. This also required a minor update to our 'Abstract' gallery. All of the pictures were reprocessed, but there is no new content.
- 05 January: Continuing where we left off in 2018 with additions from our archives, today's 'new' photo is from a May, 2012, visit to eastern Washington's Palouse region. We also overhauled of the rest of the Palouse gallery; all of the pictures in this gallery have been watermarked and the 'purchase a print' links updated to the .php page.
- 01 January 2019: Updated the Revision History pages for the new year.
