Revision History
This is the 2010 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.
-
06 March: Our new photo this week is a closeup of sunlit grass in Montana's Freezeout Lake Wildlife
Management Area.
-
27 February: Winter has been warm and dry, with several very cold but brief spells. This week we
added a photo of an "ice mosaic" in Flathead Lake, created by repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
-
20 February: We added the second picture in the sequence started last week. This image is about an
hour after the first in the sequence and was made just as the sun rose above the Mission Mountains.
-
14 February: The first of a series of photos was added to a new page in the "Series"
gallery. This gallery hosts image pairs, with the two members of the pair having been taken in different
seasons or conditions. However, this new page will contain a sequence of five images, taken as the
sun rose over NW Montana's Mission Mountains on a September morning. We'll be adding the remaining
images of the sequence as time permits.
-
06 February: We have a new article this week, about seeing the iconic landscape locations a little
differently. Also, we have reprocessed the first five pictures on in the Abstract/Graphic gallery,
which included making new scans of the first four. This was done as part of an effort to clean up
our slide files, and will likely continue for some time.
-
30 January: The rental boats in Apgar, on Lake McDonald's shore in Glacier National Park, have
always held some fascination for us. The colors of the boats, the way they are arranged on the dock
at the end of the day (whether by design or happenstance), and their reflections allow infinite
compositions and experiments. This week's new picture is an example.
-
23 January: This is often a month in which the valleys of northwest Montana suffer frequent inversions,
where high pressure pushes cold air down into the valleys. This creates "inversional" fog, which
can remain in place for days. Our addition this week shows a classic valley inversion over the ice
of Flathead Lake, with the Mission Mountains beyond.
-
17 January: This week's photo was made shortly before sunrise, two days before the September 2009 new moon.
The image shows the sliver of moon, Venus, and the silhouttes of Ponderosa pines.
-
10 January: Added a photo of local grasses in fall color. Replaced the last four jpegs on the Closeup 2
page with borderless versions, and added purchase links. Revised the " older ... newer" caption
for page navigation, and the CSS that styles this. This required updates to all multi-page galleries.
-
05 January: We've posted a new article about photographing at the fringes of the day, the seasons,
the weather. "Magic Hour" stuff. Some minor updates were made to some of the CSS pages.
-
02 January: The new year's first posting is a photo of sunrise on the Rocky Mountain Front beyond icy Freezeout
Lake near Choteau, Montana. This required adding a second page of thumbnails to the Freezeout
Lake Landscapes gallery. We also added three photos to the directory of page-top images (numbers 26,
27, and 28), and added some just-for-fun statistics to the 2009 Revsion History page.

01 January 2010: Updated the Revision History pages for the new year.
