WHAT'S NEW: 2007-2008 Updates and Additions


NEW SIMPLE ADDRESS!                       skypix.ws

Don't change your bookmarks. Using this address will just reroute you to the existing SkyPix home page. I did this so that you and I can give folks an easy address to remember.

Both newly created photo/story pages and updates will appear here as I post them, and for the past 1-2 years. New means newly added imagery, never before seen -- no matter when the photo was taken. Updated means either a re-scanned and improved older image, a major revision to a narrative story, or a different replacement photo that better illustrates an existing story.

            Mesocyclonically yours,
            ===== Roger =====

SKYPIX NEWS:

January 2008: Combined flood imagery from Water Works into Floods (formerly Missouri Floods '93), and added newer flood photos. This is to variegate the flood gallery, which was the smallest and least visited SkyPix set. I also hope to redo the many years-old scans of the slides from the '93 Missouri floods soon to improve their online image quality.

November 2006: A growing collection of such imagery compelled a new and 15th gallery room: Fog & Mist.

April 2006: Made the "big switch" from 35 mm slide equipment to shooting with a high resolution, pro-grade, digital SLR. All new images dated from that month on will originate digitally, though I will continue to rescan film slides from March 2006 and before (and add a few that never before have been displayed) as time permits.

January 2004: Began adding "GPS" links to many SkyPix image pages, beneath the location text. Each "GPS" link will show you a public-domain, USGS satellite image (courtesy MS TerraServer) at 2 meter resolution, covering the spot where I shot the photo, giving its specific GPS coordinates and showing the direction of view. I plan to do this for every image, both recent and in the more distant past, where I can accurately and precisely reconstruct my position. Unlike most outdoor photographers, I see no compelling reason to "keep secret" my shooting places -- just the opposite, in fact; I want to share the information! As of this writing I am the only nature photographer freely publishing exact GPS points for most of my images. If one isn't linked, either

  1. I haven't been able to retrace the location precisely enough yet,
  2. The location wasn't available in the Terra set (anything outside the 48 conterminous states), or
  3. I simply haven't gotten around to producing the location image yet (but will).
