Template Changes

As you may have noticed the logo image changes every now and then. What I have done is to create a set of logo images and then run a little perl script which will cycle round them by setting a symbolic link in the template image directory. I know there is a module in Joomla to change images at random, but the eagle-eyed amongst you will have noticed that the logo is composed of two images so the random image module wouldn't be of much use.

These are the ones I have set up so far..

  • Asahi Pentax Spotmatic 500 (see example)
  • Bronica ETRSi (see example)
  • Olympus C-900zoom
  • Pentax Program A
  • Canon EOS 20D (see example)
  • Canon IXUS 500 (see example)

Other logo images may include older cameras like:

  • Zenit B
  • Kowa SET
  • Voigtlander Bessa I
  • Ross Ensign FullView
  • Kodak Brownie Cresta 3

Ideally each of these cameras will be in front of an image taken with them, but I don't have some of the cameras anymore and others aren't in working condition. It may be hard to match up an image to the time at which some of the cameras were used, or be able to get some of the larger negatives scanned.

I almost forgot the camera builtin to my mobile phone, but the image quality is grotty. I might do something with that or not...
