Second New Batch of Images from Existing Film-Based Inventory

FINE ART NATURE AND LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY OF ARIZONA, COLORADO, AND THE WESTERN UNITED STATES

I just completed work on a second new batch of images from existing film-based inventory. These images (14 in total) are now viewable on the New page.

To identify and select these 14 images I spent a long, long time going through all of my previous 35mm and 4×5 work, one transparency at a time. I can now say I have ALL of my best work viewable on my website!

In case you are wondering, I had all of these transparencies scanned by Bay Photo in California. They use a “Heidelberg Tango” drum scanner which is, arguably, the best film scanner available. 35mm images were scanned to a file size of 200mb, and 4×5 images were scanned to a file size of 600mb.

Here’s a list of the new images:

  • Superstition Mountains Glow, Tonto National Forest, Arizona (ID: 402)
  • Frost on Corn Lilies, Yosemite National Park, California (ID: 405)
  • Ophir Needles (Autumn), San Juan Mountains, Colorado (ID: 406)
  • Raindrops on Bluebells and Corn Lilies, San Juan Mountains, Colorado (ID: 407)
  • Glowing Thundercloud, Tonto National Forest, Arizona (ID: 410)
  • Fishhook Cactus Blossoms, San Manuel, Arizona (ID: 411)
  • Fishhook Cactus Blossoms, San Manuel, Arizona (ID: 413)
  • Waterfall, San Juan Mountains, Colorado (ID: 414)
  • Lower Antelope Canyon, Page, Arizona (ID: 415)
  • Waterfall, San Juan Mountains, Colorado (ID: 417)
  • Queen Anne’s Lace, San Juan Mountains, Colorado (ID: 419)
  • Waterfall, Apache Trail, Arizona (ID: 420)
  • Shale Rock Formation, San Juan Mountains, Colorado (ID: 421)
  • Claret Cup Cactus Blossoms, Prescott National Forest, Arizona (ID: 416)

Original Photography by David Version 2.0

FINE ART NATURE AND LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY OF ARIZONA, COLORADO, AND THE WESTERN UNITED STATES

After a lengthy and arduous website rebuild, Original Photography by David version 2.0 is finally up and running!

Improvements and highlights include:

  • Improved website rendering on all devices regardless of screen width
  • Built with the WordPress content management system (the previous platform was OpenCart)
  • Employs the WooCommerce plugin (which provides all e-commerce functions)
  • Simplified purchase options (now, I sell only prints on the website, but finished work is still available by contacting me via my Contact page)
  • A very similar look and feel to my previous website (with dark page backgrounds to make images stand out)
  • Two new multi-image slides on the Home page showcasing Arizona Flora and Colorado Flora
  • Image titles shown on image category/thumbnail pages
  • Revised and updated About page text
  • New Black and White category with two images (more to come)
  • Fourteen new digital images shot over the past year (click on samples below)

Two other tasks are currently in progress:

First, soon I will have a handful of computer illustrations I created a number of years ago with Adobe Illustrator displayed on my website.

Second, I am in the process of going through my entire inventory of film-based images (both 35mm and 4×5). During my review, I’m selecting all images I think have potential “merit” to display and sell on my website. It’s a slow process, and all images I want to display will have to be digitally scanned (some at very high-resolution and cost). The end result will be small batches of new images (shot many years ago) added over the next several years, and the satisfaction of knowing I’m showing ALL of my best film-based work, going all the way back to 1990!
