Eclipse 2002 Photographs

Eclipse 2006 (As Salum, Egypt) Images here!

All these images were taken with a Mamiya SLR with a 3X teleconvertor and a 200mm Pentax Zoom Lens. The first four are originals, and the other digitally enhanced using The Gimp 1.3 under a Debian/GNU unstable system running Linux 2.6.0-test9-benh on a Apple iBook equipped with a 600MHz G3 processor.

Image 5: IMG0004_3_CR.JPG

This image is the same as previously, but with levels adjusted. The images were scanned from the negative, so digital enhancement is neccessary.
