New Look Jon Hillenbrand, April 25, 2010October 17, 2019 I’m giving a new look to my blog. The photos will be larger, EXIF data like shutter speed, f/stop, ISO and camera type will be posted in the left column and links to other blog entries are now at the bottom of each page. Background and text colors of the blog will change depending on the color of the photos that I post.

They move you forward and backward through the blog. Let me know what you think. And click around on old posts to see the new look in action! Photography Thoughts backgroundEXIFnavigationphotography

And, of course, the version by Vega4 wasn’t listed, which was the only version… Read More

But she’s not there to take photos, she’s doing her part… Read More
