Three More Images For The Site Redesign

May 10th, 2008 | 13 Comments | Art, Tech Stuff |

I don’t have many sunrise shots — because I don’t want to get up that early! The sun itself isn’t something you take a picture of. But I’ve got some sunset shots. What do you make of these?

That, by the way, is the way the cloud really looked — like a big paint stroke. Here’s a different exposure that shows more of the green foreground.

And this one, with the fog rising over the grasslands in the distance.

I like them all for different reasons. The first one because the cloud is more visible. It reminds me of a magic carpet. The second one because it’s brighter than the first but also has that cloud. The third one is just a nice shot with a cool perspective. Looks three dimensional.

That wasn’t very helpful was it? I could narrow it down to the first and the third. It would be nice to have the first one brightened up a little. But then that third one is kickass.

I vote for the fog shot.

I’m going to start working up the third one. I just hope I can get text to run over it legibly across the different color values.

You’ll find a way to make it work.

But hurry up! The suspense is killing me. You’ve had us in limbo for days. I can’t wait to see it.

well don’t hold your breath, I’ve got an insanely busy week coming up with music stuff today, Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and the following Monday. And Tuesday is probably gonna be a belated Mothers’ Day dinner. For Wednesday I have plans to go to the bathroom and maybe catch a few deep breaths.

Here are two alternate screenshots. One is the fog picture:

Which one do you like better? I’m inclined toward the top fog shot, but can’t tell how legible the text is. Does it look like it might be a problem?

I’m looking at that one but fading to a dark color at the bottom. I’m programming it so the first post is bold, so the white text is readable.

It’s looking good. As long as it’s legible I think it’ll be nice to have a peaceful image in the back ground.

I agree with Andy. It’ll be nice to look at that peaceful background. Thanks for all your hard work, Tom.
