New header for the shore!

February 1, 2009 by dberenstein

Ok, not quite a new header, but one that is straighter for sure. Recently I received an e-mail from a  reader complaining that the picture was tilted, and she offered me a fixed picture edit. This was very generous and I am quite eager to perform that very reasonable request.  Since I had the original photo, I thought it would be best if I cut it from the original itself as now I have much better software for dealing with that. I hope this makes our reader happy.

 

For those of you who like the old tilted photo better, here you can remember it.

    The earlier header was more realistic. It corresponded to the spectrum E^2 = k^2 + m^2. In the new one, the spectrum is dispersion-less :-) .

    Couldn’t resist the joke!

    It’s kind of interesting to develop headers from existing pictures. Gives any blog or web page a professional feel.

    Sometimes just scanning to a file can reveal the pictures alignment preference while transferring to paint and then cutting.

    Would have been interesting to see perspective of the water itself adjusted for such a tilt.:) Artistic perspective perhaps.

    Best,
