Digital photography has revolutionized the way most photographers work these days. The speed of conversion and the internet have made it ideal for photojournalists and sports photographers that can now be half way across the world and have their work home to their employer/publisher for review within minutes. The instant review has made them a favorite amongst studio photographers that can now know if they have the shot seconds after pressing the shutter.

With reasons for and against digital over traditiona/film photography it was the ease in showcasing ones work that had this photographer crossing over to the newer side! And while for a while a photo sharing service had covert all the online gallery posting needs the time to move forward has come. Reminiscing Visions was a notion of old that always created a more romantic mood.

The fundamental differences amongst conventional cameras and digital cameras have created a learning curve that has caused awkwardness and confusion amongst pros and enthusiasts alike. Several concerns have also arisen in question to whereas the newer digital cameras will replace the older film ones, i.e. if digital photography will replace film photography or if they will somehow coexist. Without going into detail lets just say that it is one guy's opinion that even though in the near future colour photos, be they flora macros, nature scenes, still life or even commertial and nude will be taken over by the digital world, the genre of black & white and infrared are still in the film domain and probably will remain for some time. Fine art, while most people consider a different category, belongs to any one.

So while the original notion behind page was to showcase this photographers work it has also taken a side-goal of helping newer digital photographers have a smoother transition.

On another note, one of the most important future updates will be posting some actions that will, hopefully, help fellow photographers in their daily workflow (a sharpening action and a filter or two). Admittedly this photographer uses a Canon EOS but there is no reason why these wouldn't work on a Nikon, Olympus, Minolta or any other camera as long as the software used is the same.

Apparently what is not told when deciding to create a page and jumping in with both feet is that even after you familiarize yourself with html, php, xml and God knows what else is out there! You are not done! There are hosting issues and browser conflicts to consider. With the later still creating a tad of a problem the hosting issues have finally been resolved so the site will be moving (slowly but steadily) from now on. Most things probably appear the same the inner workings have been completely re-written, Instead of a hosted (partially functional) newsletter script the page is now equipped with fully functional php based newsletter and huge updates are being made to the gallery posting methods, with those complete all future gallery transformations will be easy and fast, hence often made, and more time will be available for more additions.

Finally
2007-07-21

Well, lots of sleep lost and a hell of a lot of swearing at cross browser compatibility issues later and the new galleries are up. What has been revamped is basically the default flash gallery/slideshow area, mostly presentation wise eventhough there are lot's of photo updates as well. The HTML galleries have also been updated for perhaps the last time before going completely into flash (or equivalent) presentations, they have gotten a facelift and the photos are now hosted on ReminiscingVisions.com instead of our old image host thanks to the increase in bandwidth available by the new webhost.

Have a browse and tell us what you think Wink


Almost!
2007-07-21

Well the new flash galleries are ready to go live but as someone pointed out some of our visitors might still be "old school" surfers (low speed/non flash) so a lower bandwidth pure html version must also be compiled, during the next major revamp the html option will most likely be removed!

Looking Good!
2007-07-17

Updating Directory Script, might cause some downtime

Updates:
2007-07-01

Been working hard on the stylesheet of our sister site "Still Time Photo Galleries" but managed to get some updates onto ReminiscingVisions.

The Filter Downloads are now hosted on a much more reliable server and should be online 99% of the time instead of 9%.

Added a new action and article on Bleach Bypass, a technique used in film photography (and cinema).


Goodies
2007-06-22

Brand new article in our brand new article section which now works in IE as well (had a padding bug).. exciting stuff for ReminiscingVisions.com

It's HERE!
2007-06-18

Just finished updating the articles section, take a look... up-to-date goodies and ease of browsing!

Downtime
2007-06-17

Little unscheduled downtime, our host assures it was a one time thing

Progress
2007-06-17

almost half way through completely revamping the articles section, you should extect: Tell a Friend script (new one), Print Page (also new) and Comments. Possibly RSS if I can ever get it to work! What is for sure is that the pages will be even faster on loading, searching will be 100% accurate (without me having to manually update the sql database) and some nice java/flash goodies to make browsing a lot more fun!
