photo gallery » introduction

I am currently in the process of migrating most of this site chapter to Flickr. Hopefully not too much gets busted in the process...

.what's in this section and how do i see (and hear) all of it?

example one	example two	example three
'example one' is characteristic of most images in this gallery. Click on the 'thumbnail' image or caption to display a full-sized version of the photograph.	'example two' demonstrates an image that has an associated sound clip. A small 'speaker' icon is displayed under the caption to indicate this. After opening the full-sized image, click on the larger 'speaker' icon (in the bottom, left corner of the new window) to start the sound clip. Be warned: sound clips are BIG.	'example three' demonstrates an image that is in fact a motion video clip*. A 'tv screen' icon is displayed under the caption to indicate this. Again, click on the 'thumbnail' image or caption to start the motion video clip. Be warned: motion video clips are BIG. * AVI (Intel Indeo® video 5.10**) converted using VirtualDub. ** Newer versions of Windows Media Player are becoming increasingly intolerant of non-Windows codecs. Hands up who's surprised? If your version of Windows Media Player claims that it can't decode the AVI format that I've used you can download and install the Intel Indeo® video 5.10 codec for Windows (iv5setup.exe).

Most photo pages are 'geo-tagged' to allow geographical search engines to work with the page. For more information see geourl.org and/or geotags.com. I've also put up a wee utility page to facilitate the generation of these tags, in case this is of use to anyone else.
