<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>
