Revision History 2024
This is the 2024 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.
(2024)
- 20 April: A mid-April snow highlighted 'crop circles' made by plowing in a local field. This made for an interesting black & white photo of the snow on the furrows made by the plow.
- 13 April: We've added a close-up view of the thick bark of a Ponderosa pine tree, lit by morning sun and rendered in black & white.
- 06 April: Our addition this week is a 2008 photo of an American avocet in western Montana's Ninepipe NWR. Adding this required moving a number of photos around in our 'Other Birds' gallery and adding an eighth page to that gallery.
- 30 March: This week: sun lights the pines above a misty Madison River on a cold September morning in Yellowstone National Park.
- 23 March: We've added a photo of the 2023 'Snow' moon (February). The picture is a composite made from two exposures: one a 'correct' exposure of the moon, and another that over-exposed the moon but brought out the color in the surrounding clouds.
- 16 March: It may be warming into Spring, but today we've posted a wintry B&W picture made along the shore of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. The photo was made in 2014.
- 09 March: The skeleton of a dead poplar tree high on a hill over the Mission Range is the subject of this week's new B&W photo.
- 02 March: We've added the fourth (and final) photo to the series we started on 10 February. Today's picture is a single-frame exposure of the subject, once again a different composition from the others.
- 24 February: This week's addition is the third of four in the series started 10 February, this picture made by assembling two horizontal frames one above the other for a more square final image.
- 17 February: We've added the second photo in the series started last week, this one of the same scene but a slightly different composition and cropping.
- 10 February: This week's new photo is a panoramic view of a row of skeleton trees along a ridge beneath a dark, colorful sky. The snow-covered field below is highlighted by hazy sun outside the frame. This is the first posting of what will be a series of this same scene. This required adding a sixth page to our 'Series' gallery. Converted pages 1, 2, and 3 of the gallery to .php and updated the 'Galleries' page with those new links.
-
03 February 2024: A couple of heavy snows followed by freezing fog and rain left the plowed
fields around our NW Montana home covered with a glaze of ice. High sun above dense clouds
made that ice reflect like a mirror. The Mission Mountain Range provides a backdrop for our
new photo.
Rearranged the pictures in our 'Elk' gallery and replaced several with watermarked versions with metadata. -
27 January: We've posted a photo of aspens in fall color, the picture made in October, 2005, in
a little grotto a few miles from Slough Creek in Yellowstone National Park. We converted the page
(page 2 of the gallery), along with pages 1, 3, and 4, to .php.
Replaced all photos but the last (HOME1511_6500) in the 'Whitetail Deer' gallery with watermarked versions with metadata and purchase links (currently hidden). Ditto the top and bottom rows on page three, and several photos in our 'American Bison' (buffalo) gallery. -
20 January: A pair of Harlequin ducks on the Yellowstone River, photographed in May, 2003, is
this week's addition.
Replaced all photos but the first (YELLS0506_0337) in page two of the 'Horns and Antlers' gallery with watermarked versions with metadata and purchase links (currently hidden). Ditto the top and bottom rows on page three. - 13 January: We've added a May, 2005 photo of a bull moose in velvet, on a rainy day near Roosevelt Junction in Yellowstone National Park. Some photos in our 'Horns and Antlers' gallery have been moved around so they are displayed in proper date order.
-
06 January: Our first posting of 2024 shows a 'family' of bighorn sheep on a nearly vertical
canyon wall high above the Yellowstone River in Yellowstone National Park. The image is a scan
of a slide made in June, 2006.
Our project to reprocess some of our older film images (which may include making new scans) will continue throughout the winter months. - 01 January 2024: Updated the Revision History pages for the new year.
