Photographs are used with
compliments from the Navy. Original shots, additional
ones and larger format versions may be viewed and
downloaded directly from http://oceanographer.navy.mil/arlington1.html The ones at the Navy site are "raw"
images and may take a long time to download as they are
not compressed. I have taken a selection of the shots and
enhanced them in Adobe Photoshop, then optimized the
compression with Adobe ImageReady software. Although the
pictures were taken with a Good quality digital camera
they still show the classic problems of back lit subjects
and the need for "fill flash". Despite these
problems I have made fairly Good enhanced images that
will download 3 to 10 times faster. |
