Long Since Forgotten #2 » Sun, Oct 15th 2006 11:34 am

Taken on the same day as the first in this two-part miniseries, these are the two wodden swings in Alyson’s backyard.

    Why all the contrast?

    Why not? Heh. Actually, I guess the reason would be that this photo was taken before I’d purchased a polarizer. The sky was blown out (all white) and the colours were sort of washed out. Photos taken at high noon without a polarizer tend to look like that. So, I boosted saturation. That looked weird on its own, so I brought the contrast up too.

    Though it was sort of necessary, I think it looks more interesting like this.

    No problem with contrast really. It does look neat. But with a little editing, you can get rid of a little bit of contrast, and add a cool, breezy, lush feel to it. Something like this.

    Good job anyway. I love cameras. grinning face

    I’m sorry. I didn’t mean for that picture to be a page hog. sticking out tongue

    Hmm. I don’t know. Your version looks “fresher”, which I think in this case is counter-productive given that the theme is nostalgia.

    PS: I fixed the image. Heh. Might have to write a transform for <img> tags to <a> tags, because IE doesn’t support max-width. Bleh.

  6. 6 Josh on Mon, Oct 16th 2006 7:57 pm

    Yes. All I did was add more cyan and green to it. Yeah…I agree. Mine got rid of that “homeland feel”.

    Ah, yes. I see. You don’t necessarily have to do that. With a simple script, “max-width” would be supported. Just say something like this: if (comment.style.width > 300) { comment.style.width=300 }

    Yeah, but I’d rather not use JS for “essential” things like that. If JS is off, the layout will just shatter in IE. Unlikely scenario these days, but still. If it comes up again, I’ll implement some kind of search and replace with PHP.

    I know exactly what you mean.

  9. 9 Josh on Mon, Oct 16th 2006 11:09 pm

    Ok. Try this. It’s not a script, but a style. It makes it work on IE:

    div.bodytwo { overflow: auto; max-width: 300px; width: expression(Math.min(parseInt(this.offsetWidth), 300 ) + ‘px’); }

  10. 10 Aaron on Mon, Oct 16th 2006 11:18 pm

    Yeah, I’ve seen that before. Not sure if it relies on the JS engine or not, though. It’s IE-proprietary, so I might have to fork my CSS file and use some conditional comments or something… Bleh. I’ve got Mozilla-proprietary stuff in the sheet now, but somehow that bothers me less. Heh.

    IE7’s coming out this month, so maybe I’ll just leave the max-width in there and wait for the world to catch up.

    I didn’t think IE7 supported it either, but I guess I was wrong.

  12. 12 Aaron on Tue, Oct 17th 2006 11:58 am

    Yeah, there’s no way they’d leave max-width and max-height support out of IE7.

Feel free to leave some kind of feedback or pose a question. Most links will be parsed on their own, so you can avoid writing <a> tags. I’ve even taken measures to ensure that long links don’t fubar the page layout. Also, you can get fancy with Markdown syntax if you want.

The e-mail address is required to ID you. I’ll keep it secret. I pinky promise.
