Re: [Texascavers] Photo of Honey Creek Shaft
Butt ugly way too heavy. Wm and I worked w/City of Sunset Valley and we installed this incredible, light weight, poly or plastic 6’ diameter street drain pipe into the entrance of Sunset Valley cave which has a stream that drains directly into the cave. It’s been amazing and the material can be cut to fit using a skill saw or chainsaw. If you’d like the contact at Sunset Valley, Geary just email me and I’ll send you all the info and they’ll be happy to talk w/you about the entire project and photos.

The convention website has links to the salon pages where you can find submission rules. https://www.cavetexas.org/events/TSASC/tsasc2019/ Please note for photos that we will be having a print salon only. There is no need to bring a digital copy or submit a digital copy of your photo. Pick out your best photos from the past year and submit them. It is easy to get prints at Walgreens. Get your maps finished and printed. Let's have some great salons!

After the recent losses within our caver family, I've taken strolls down memory lane with folks looking at old photos. Some old cavers are unrecognizable in their youth. Names of old friends and acquaintances forgotten decades later. Before that happens to our current caver family, I decided to record everyone's name in the group photos that I've taken at Spring Convention for posterity’s sake. Thus, I am manually outlining each and every person and pet (since many of them are well-known family members, too), then numbering them. At Spring Convention this year, I will have the original group photos on display. FIND YOURSELF IN THE PHOTOS at Spring Convention and write down your name on the corresponding number. Once complete, I will compile the original photos, outlines, and names, and make them available to everyone, submit them to the TSS, etc. Here's an example using last year's group photo: https://drive.google.com/open?id=16Rib38VfY8sFkmk6BXKN_W-PS6cILnM1 --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus ___ Texascavers mailing list | http://texascavers.com Texascavers@texascavers.com | Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/texascavers@texascavers.com/ http://lists.texascavers.com/listinfo/texascavers

Put a flux capacitor on it and you don't need any coolant at impulse speed, not until you engage warp drive. Even at that space is so cold you only get hot in the worm holes. There all down hill ways, so if you punch it going in, you stay on it till you stay heating up. Then just throw it in neutral and coast out. Just make sure you don't lose the containment around the uridium core and you should be golden. Fossil fuel, ha.

I wish I had one to share because this was one of the first wild caves I went to with Barry Beck. In those days, I didn't know you could take good pics in caves--I was so young then.

Re: [Texascavers] Photo and Map Salon
There was some confusion in regard to the Salon that was just resolved with the necessary help of others from the caving community. I left the Winter Meeting under the incorrect impression that everything was sorted out in regard to the Salon. Now I know better, but a scramble for last- minute arrangements has been resolved by that force of nature in Texas caving, Ellie Falgout, who has volunteered to run the Photo and Maps Salons. Entries should be submitted to her, and she should be excused from being responsible for any unresolved issues due to the late date. I bear responsibility for any deficiencies that should occur. On a higher note, Mallory and Jill are working hard on the actual Spring Convention speaker schedule, but let me repeat the outstanding line-up that includes Geary Schindel, Joe Mitchell, Mallory Mayeux, Jim "Crash" Kennedy, Christina Morgan and Whitney O’Connell, Bill Mixon, Jess Buckles,Matt Turner,Peter Sprouse, Laura Battle and David Moore, Ron Ralph, Aubri Jenson, and George Veni!

Re: [Texascavers] photo quality
I'd like to suggest something. Camera memory is cheap. Really cheap. Probably cheaper than film ever was. I just bought a 16 Gig Class 10 SD memory card at WalMart for $25. That will hold SEVERAL THOUSAND high quality JPEGs on my entry-level DSLR. Unless you have a really good reason for not doing so, beef up your camera's memory and use the best possible quality. (Check your manual to see just how large a card your camera can handle) Nothing sucks like having a really cool picture, but in a resolution too low to print or enlarge.

[Texascavers] photo quality
Please keep the following in mind when taking photos that could be submitted for print in The Texas Caver. One of the hardest things to deal with as a graphic designer is getting quality images from non professional photographers. Most people just have no reason to know the difference in digital image resolution quality. Here is a quick lesson: Resolution is the measurement of how many pixels fit into one inch (dpi). 72 dpi = BAD 300 dpi = GOOD The higher resolution, the sharper the image will be. Standard recommendation for an image for print is 300 dpi for crisp, clear results. Lower resolution images appear fuzzy, jagged, and blurry. Most people have their phones and cameras set on low quality to allow for higher storage volume, and of course sending via pixt or email. You can't tell the difference until you try to print. To increase resolution for quality prints: Adjust your camera to the highest quality setting. Taking the photo on the highest setting will maximize both the quality of the image, as well as the range of sizes at which you will be able to use it in printing projects. If possible, save your image as a TIF. Thanks for listening ! J Jill

Re: [Texascavers] photo
It stated that it was done in one exposure. Hmm... I guess that doesn't rule out "one exposure - doctored". I'd accept that it was extremely fast film or hypersensitive superconductive-chilled sensor or something. But like Stephan said - it's hard to swallow. It looks a bit unnatural. . -WaV On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 1:11 PM, Brian Riordan wrote: > I too am interested in how it was created and if it was photoshopped- not > to discredit any art involved, but to ease my mind.

Re: [Texascavers] photo
I too am interested in how it was created and if it was photoshopped- not to discredit any art involved, but to ease my mind. There is no way, at any film iso speed that my camera can operate at anyhow, that I could that much light from the Milky Way into my sensor without getting motion streaking. A confirmation that it was photoshopped, would satiate the itch to buy a better camera. :) On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 1:00 PM, Joe Ranzau wrote: > At least for me, I just want to know how the hell he did it so I can > reproduce it.

Re: [Texascavers] photo
At least for me, I just want to know how the hell he did it so I can reproduce it. Short of finding the photographer to ask dissecting it is probably the next step.
