I finally finished updating my website last night. I only had to upload four times to repair the major errors that I had made. Now there’s just a bit of housekeeping to do. A few missing files to add in, and a check to make sure that all of my files are linked correctly. I hope that you find the new navigation easier and faster than before.

This is the third day updating my website. I hope to have it finished late today, or early tomorrow morning.

The rocks in the foreground have rich colors, a nice contrast, and an attractive sheen. You can see the same effect if you take a seashell or stone and wet it. The colors that are there will really pop. If you’ve ever been to a souvenir shop that sells exotic shells, you may have noticed that all of the shells are lacquered. There is another benefit to photographing in the rain. The overcast sky...
