My photography site, eyeballism.com, has been redesigned and it is now out of Beta. Sporting a new lightweight gallery script it performs much better on all web standards compliant browsers.

After transfering the images to the computer I was soon convinced otherwise: a very noticable discolouration, and not at all the effect I had in mind. Unless this is the unnatural effect that you’re aiming for, it really is worth heading the warnings by professional photographers when using extreme polarisation in combination with wide angle lenses.
