Widescreen Photo Gallery

2006-10-19T11:52:00.000-07:00

I realize that the majority of computer monitors out there are standard in their size and format where 1600 x 1200 resolution (or 1024 x 768 resolution) fits the screen perfectly for background images on their desktops. Some monitors are now being made available in a widescreen format. This gallery will showcase images in a 1920 x 1200 widescreen format to take advantage of particular images that are best displayed in that resolution and format as well as providing desktop backgrounds for computers that have these new widescreen displays. Check this new photo gallery out at Utch's Web Page in Gallery 5 , today!

Panoramic Photo Gallery

2006-10-18T22:41:00.000-07:00

Some pictures fit nicely in a 1600 x 1200 resolution (or 1024 x 768 resolution) frame. Those kinds of images make for great backgrounds for your desktop. Some pictures look best in a vertical format. Those pictures never look great as a background image. Some pictures show off their composition and subject in a perfectly square format. Those kinds of images don't make for good backgrounds, either. Then there are your panoramic images. Every so often the only way to encompass the scope of a subject is to format it in a panoramic picture. Even though these kinds of photos do not work as background images for your desktop, they do showcase a particular subject. Check this new photo gallery out at Utch's Web Page in Gallery 5 , today!

New Watermark On Images At Utch's Online Photo Gallery

2006-09-20T19:57:00.000-07:00

Well, once again I have decided to change the watermark that I use on the images at Utch's Web Page. Instead of the (rather gaudy) one I've been using since January of last year, I've decided to go with a more conventional one that not only hides nicely under the Windows Start Bar (if you place your Start bar at the bottom of your desktop), but one that is barely noticable on most photographs. This new watermark is less intrusive than the old one, so instead of just using it on new pictures I have decided to update all existing images at Utch's Web Page with it.

Kabbalah 72 Names Of God Items

2006-08-31T04:10:00.000-07:00

I find it very interesting that Madonna is into Kabbalah... ...although I understand that many have mixed emotions about that. No problem... ...everyone has their own opinions and beliefs. I think she shows unique independence and rare courage with her public declaration toward her spiritual path, though. It is obvious that she still possesses an incredible amount of raw, personal strength.

2006-03-19T20:47:00.000-07:00

For Sarah's birthday (my just 12 year old daughter) I surprised her with setting up her own website... ...something that she's been wanting me to do for her for a while now. I figure that she's getting at a stage that she will be able to maintain a website herself, and that she's acquired enough photographic images of her own, that it would fun for the two of us to set something like this up. She's got a few galleries up, and miscellaneous support pages... ...and in the next few days we will hammer out some more content (verbiage) on the different pages and galleries. Sarah is starting to blossom in her photographic skills... ...and she has much more time and patience than I do with getting the cute shots of Peek-a-boo, our Papillon puppy, and the cats!!!

Image Piracy And Copyright Infringement

2005-04-08T16:44:00.000-07:00

What a topic title! Quite frequently I am asked by other photographers, especially in the digital photography arena, how I protect myself from image piracy and copyright infringement. After all, the images at Utch's Web Page are offered in 1600 x 1200 resolution. This is why I point my viewers to the Comstock Images website regarding this very same subject. That way, as an artist, I can focus my efforts toward my next photo shoot!

Motion Blur - How To Avoid!

2005-01-27T15:17:00.000-07:00

One of the most frequent problems, especially with small digital cameras, is motion blur. Quite often an image with motion blur is mistaken for being out of focus. The best way to avoid motion blur is to hold the camera so that you can rest your arms against your chest. Take a deep breath, let it out about half way, then carefully depress the shutter button. With smaller digital cameras, and low light conditions, a tripod or unipod may be required, as it can be extremely difficult to adequately brace these small, portable cameras. Good luck and happy shooting!

How Do YOU Like Full Sized Images To Open?

2005-01-23T13:18:00.000-07:00

I have a question for everyone. When viewing images in a gallery do you prefer to have the full sized image open in the same browser window (which it is currently set at at Utch's Web Page), or do you prefer to have the full sized image open in a new browser window? As it is now you close the full sized image by hitting back on your browser then returning you back to that gallery's page. The other way you would simply close the new browser window.

Thanks for any comments on this, as it is something that I am always personally debating with how I want images opened on my website.

Scenic Photography - Landscape Photography - Nature Photography - Digital Photography

2004-08-27T13:35:00.000-07:00

I went surfing, late last night, for other blogs that pertain to scenic photography, landscape photography, nature photography and digital photography. There are a LOT of blogs out there in cyber land! I'm going to have to refine my search techniques, because most of what I found were blogs that are giving technical information about digital cameras and selling them. At least I've accumulated some excellent resources for when I'm in the market for new equipment. I did come across a few blogs that have some notable images, though. When I find some relevant blogs I will be contacting the authors of them to see if I can post links to their sites here on Utch's Web Page - Utch Entel Photography Blog so that you may see other artist's works as well.
