• I’m waiting for my latest project to finish rendering (hopefully sometime tonight) so I took the time to tweak the “Gallery-at-a-Glance” page. Clicking the “Year” links will now take you to a page dedicated to that year with larger (100 x 75) thumbnails. Thanks to whoever suggested that one. I’ve also removed some of the revisions from the 1999 and 1998 galleries and placed them in the Pickle Jar where they belonged.

• It has been suggested to me a number of times that images would be easier to find if I had a “gallery-at-a-glance” page. I’ve been meaning to do it for a while and and this morning I went ahead and put one together. You can check it out here. The thumbnails link to each image’s place in the gallery.

  In other news, I may scrap my plans for a night version of “Untouched”. I haven’t been very happy with my renders so far and I’m itching to move onto something new.

• I’ve added the dual and triple screen versions of “Untouched” to the gallery this evening. A lot of people have suggested that I try a night version so I may give that a go before moving on to something new.

• I’ve added an updated version of “Untouched” to the gallery this morning. The original will remain available in the Pickle Jar. I’ve strengthened the volumetric light in this one and hopefully this will counter some of the grain from the original.

  There really isn’t much else than can be done about the grain I’m afraid, I think it’s just a result of all the millions of leaves in the background.

  I made a few other additions as well which I will leave to you to discover. I hope you like it.

  I’ll work to have a multi-screen version up ASAP.

• I added “Untouched” to the gallery this afternoon. Looking at it now I can see a few things that I might (or might not) yet tweak, but I think it looks nice enough as is to post. This once takes around 36 hours to render and I would rather post it and continue tweaking than make you all wait.

  We’ve had a great deal of rain around here this spring and this piece is dedicated to the wonderful green that I see everywhere after a particularly long and depressing winter.

  I hope you enjoy it!
