The Viewer

The photograph viewer is designed for use on Web browser versions 4 and above. if you accidentally arrived at any of the viewer frames on its own, go to the Home Page and reselect the gallery you want. For older browsers there is a "No-Frames" option without the more advanced features.

Thumbnails

Click any thumbnail to see an enlargement of the picture, (up to 800 pixels wide or more, with a file size average of about 120 to 180 KBytes).

Use the scroll bar alongside the thumbnails to move up and down the list. The "hi-res" picture version will be up to 1100 pixels wide or more, with a file size of approximately 400 to 600 KBytes. 

Use the "Menu" button in the thumbnails frame to set the size format.

The pictures are best viewed with your browser maximised at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 or better. You may want to remove any sidebar menus such as "Favorites" to make more room if pictures do not fit on your screen. Some browsers have a "Full Screen" option in their View menu, that gives more space for the pictures.

The web images have been compressed from about 3 megabytes in size and over 3000 pixels wide, so expect some distortion caused by resizing and compression. Colors are compressed for viewing at 256 colors or better, which may cause some banding on clear blue skies.

Don't worry about clicking buttons - this gallery is commercial-free, and there are no stealth advertisements, unrequested pop-ups or hidden links to other sites. If you see any of these, you may want to check your computer for hidden ad-ware.

Camera Equipment

Most of the pictures in these galleries were taken with Nikon D1X digital cameras. Several Nikkor lenses were used, (20mm AF, 180mm AF, 28-200mm AF, 28-70mm AF-S, 80-200mm AF-S, 80-400mm AF-VR), with L37C filters.

When we started this web site in 1999, I used a Fujifilm MX-700 pocket-sized camera and later an MX-2900 consumer-level camera
