After several years of using the default pMachine style sheet, I’ve finally got round to fiddling with it and changed some of the look and feel of the blog. I tend to feel that photos look better presented on a black background and, since I’m hardly ever blogging on the subject of PC video any more, I’ve dropped the obscure FOURCC references (which relate to video compression/decompression software in case you didn’t know). I hope you like the new look.

By the way, please let me know if you find anything weird (black text on a black background, that sort of thing) since it’s more than likely I’ve missed some changes that are necessary to finish the restyling job!

Another of the summer holiday shots. This was taken in the picturesque village of Culross in Fife.

I’m still working through some of my images from last summer seeing what I can do with them using the new Photomatix software I got. I originally didn’t have much hope for this picture as a colour image since the day we visited, the weather was mostly dull and gray and the lighting very flat. I am very impressed, however, at how much colour Photomatix managed to coax out of the original dull image and I love the way that the contrast boost has brought out the pattern of the steel plates in the wheel.

If you are keen to see another take on this, you can click the image then look in my Scotland set on Flickr or take a look at a previous post here.
