This site is a collection of photo albums. The menu takes you to a gallery page which provides an overview of the album. Clicking any image in the gallery will open a viewer which displays the images enlarged. Or, where they exist, use the alt (alternative) viewer by clicking its link next to the page title. Its a much nicer viewer (slider) which can be operated manually or in autoplay:<\/p>\n
To stop the slider click on the image
To use the slider manually use a scrolling mouse or employ the side arrows which appear when you hover on an image
To restart the slider, hover on the image, then click either side arrow\u00a0
If instructions confound you like they do me, ignore the above and just mess about til you figure it out.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]\n
Being new to website development, I read the ‘how-to’ material and followed the instructions religiously.\u00a0When it came to putting something in the ‘header,’ \u00a0I naturally assumed a head was called for. Very kindly, the Universe stepped in.<\/p>\n
I found my Buddha, well, his head anyway, there was no body, propped atop a box outside a store in Whistler, BC (ski country). \u00a0A nasty accident on the slopes? Or a message from the Universe — “You, people of Planet Earth: beware. You are severed at the neck from Truth, all Wisdom lost.”\u00a0 Nothing new there. Still, to see Buddha in such sad circumstance was more than I could bear.\u00a0\u00a0Discreetly, I asked Buddha if he would like a new home, a place of dignity, where he could once again serve as a guiding light, holding me (and perhaps you, dear reader) to the path of truth. I am certain I discerned a nod.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]\n
iBytes is a selection of my digital photography which began in 2007 with a pocket Canon Powershot 620. For thirty years prior to 2007 I was a die-hard film photographer. Yet I found myself instantly addicted to the digital format for its freedom to shoot endless images and for the fun of editing. I’ve never looked back.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]\n I use a Nikon D3 with three lenses: a 80-200 f2.8 zoom, a 24-70 f2.8 zoom and a 105 f2.8 close-up\/portrait lens.<\/span><\/p>\n I recently purchased a Nikon 5200 (DX format) for use as a travel camera. It has a 16-55mm zoom with a hinged screen (great for close-to-the-ground nature shots). Its 25Mb files are extremely sharp and importantly for travel, the camera is remarkably light. As well, the DX format can be adjusted in camera to simulate an FX format, meaning that despite the DX having a smaller chip and thus smaller field of view at a given lens length, the adjusted DX image provides the same field of view as the FX. And because of today’s large files, image quality is generally not\u00a0 appreciably affected.\u00a0 I am very impressed.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”3.21″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off”]\nGear<\/h4>\n
