my blog has been offline for a while due to development of a new layout and some serious server issues afterwards. anyways… i managed to fix everything now. i was normally going to release the new layout together with a huge blog post, but i don’t feel like photoshopping my neg scans atm. the blog has been offline for too long, so i’m releasing it anyway…
You can already take a peek at the new layout(which is still a work in progress) for the time being ;)
i’m including an old picture from the archives. mind you… the brightness and contrast of this picture may look completely fucked on your computer screen. i still don’t know how well my computer screen is calibrated.
new updates soon…
cheers.

Photochopping your negs should have higher priority than your blog design, it’s about photos, not design, right? :p Look who’s talking, the guy who hasn’t posted in a year or so ;).
When it comes to calibration you won’t really need it for a b/w-photo, rather check the histogram (i.e. in Lightroom) and make sure whites are on the right, blacks are on the left etc., often just working with the histogram is more reliable than just judging by how you see it. The longer you sit in front of a monitor the less you see sometimes.
Anyways, keep posting, good to see you back and still into it. Think that’s the main thing. If you post, others will, and soon the dA-photographers-gone-bloggers will return from their dark holes they’re hiding in since months. ;)
i know photoshopping negs has a higher priority, but it’s not really my favourite occupation :p
thanks for the monitor hint! btw… i recently started reading the Ansel Adams series you once recommended me. very interesting readings! ;)
as you might have noticed, i crawled back in my dark hole again for a few months :p but i’m going to make a real effort to post more in the future! ;)
i like the new layout, although i had no problem what so ever with the one you had before. :)
and now.. pictures, please?
Yoopee the poopee!
driewerf jochei!
