<h1>Picture gallery (titles only)</h1>

<p>All these pictures are linked to appropriate pages of the area
and cave descriptions, but are also gathered together here for
a visual tour of CUCC's caving area.</p>

<p>This page lists the titles and the size of the image (each is included in
a small HTML page), with links, but there is also a series of pages with
thumbnails of each picture. A <a href="gallery/0.htm">list of these pages</a>
gives access to each one. <b>Warning</b>: they will take quite a while to
load!</p>

<h2>About the pictures.</h2>

<p>Pictures have made their way to this site in four main ways:</p>
<ol>
<li>digitised from taped video (Hi8) on a 12-bit digitiser on an Acorn RISC
PC</li>
<li>as above but live, with camera looking at an existing photo (or, in a very
few cases, looking at the subject)</li>
<li>From 35mm transparency via a Photo-CD</li>
<li>From 1997, digitised from 35mm transparencies or negatives on a Nikon
Coolscan II scanner, which gives a lot more control than working from a
Photo-CD, as well as a somewhat higher resolution if needed.</li>
<li>From 1999, we have a 600 dpi flatbed scanner, for bigger negatives, or those
prints with no negatives available.</li>
<li>A small number of the most recent photographs were taken with a digital
camera and thus digitised on the spot.</li>
</ol>

<p>The video digitiser was an old HCCS H-1000, with software by Pennine
Software (a custom version much modified from the release version). Most of
the underground pictures (from Photo-CD), and a few of the surface ones, have
had quite extensive processing to get detail out of the shadows, and reduce
colour bias. Some of this was done with a custom-written program which was
very slow indeed, and the results are not ideal. A lot of work has used
Acorn's !ChangeFSI, which is particularly good for sharpening and scaling.
More recently, David Pilling's ImageMaster software has been used, which is
excellent for contrast modification and format conversion. All these run on
an Acorn RISC PC. The webmaster now has a Nikon Coolscan transparency and
negative scanner (2700 dpi) which runs on a 64Mb PC and is starting to give
good results with a lot less post-processing required. Interestingly, results
are a lot better from negatives than slides, especially for very high
contrast subjects (which includes most underground shots). Expect a load more
high-quality photographs to start appearing soon.</p>
