New Galleries Online!

The Landscapes I and Nature I galleries are now online! Hope you enjoy them! A note on the Nature gallery: Landscapes are by far my favorite thing to photograph and are really the core focus of Resplendent Light. Nature images are something I take while hiking between locations or in my backyard or when the light isn't great, versus seeking them out on their own. I include them in my gallery because over time I have accumulated some that I really enjoy and I feel are worth sharing.

Notes on Image Captions

As I started going through various images adding titles and captions to them, I realized a bit of a limitation with the Lightroom web gallery that I am using to export. If the caption is a little lengthy, it expands the border around the picture to make it fit. This doesn't look so great, so for now I will have to settle for a pretty small description of the image. I have been putting in the location where the image was shot and not any technical details (when I have time, I'll make a post explaining why). I hope to find a way to post more detailed descriptions of these shots right in the gallery, but I may end up doing a sort of trip report on the News page whenever I post new images (after the initial galleries are online).

Site Updates

I hope to be able to publish a few more galleries to the site this weekend. Additionally, I am starting to go through and add titles and descriptions to many of the images. I removed a few images from the Favorites gallery, but also added a few that I'm not sure how I missed earlier. I am going to try to keep the number of images in each gallery at 40, so there are no more than 2 pages in each.
