New photos

Added a few new D70 photos the other day.

I've changed the way I process the images, for no particular reason. ImageMagick works fine, and my scripts seem to do a decent job processing tifs into appropriately sized jpegs for the web. But I use Nikon Capture and Photoshop to adjust contrast and tone prior to printing, and have batch jobs set up for both. So, it seemed reasonable to use those same batch jobs to produce web-ready jpegs. It does appear I need to tone down the sharpening a bit when I resize them down to 800 pixels for the web site, they look a tad over-sharpened to me. And I decided not to add borders to the images, Linda thinks they look better without borders.

We picked up 200 4" x 6" prints that were made from the D70 images, and I have to say I'm fairly impressed. They were printed with a Fuji Frontier 370 digital printer, and most of them look great. The ones that don't look great are the result of operator error (camera operator, not printer operator... ie, ME).

Only thing left to figure out is how to store all those images. We have a good system for storing negatives, but digital images are going to take some thought.
