You should see them on a lightbox. It is very fine grain slide film (Provia or Velvia) and scanned at 4000dpi 16 bit. I've gone down to a fifth to a sixth of the full scan resolution and 8 bit jpgs of course. Drop me a line off-list and I'll organise a higher res pic for you. Yes, the rock in those Remarkable Rocks is granite. KI was formerly part of the mainland and Aus is a very old and weathered continent indeed. The island also has a large amount of limestone in one area. Huge drifts of sand accumulated kilometres in from the coast over a long period and there is a spectacular and extensive cave area that I have not shown. It extends for many kilometres underground and has never been fully plotted. -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+hoppyman=bigpond.net.au@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Peter Klein Sent: Monday, 16 July 2007 15:17 To: lug@leica-users.org Subject: Re: [Leica] IMG: Hoppy on Kangaroo Island part three Hoppy: I am really enjoying your Kangaroo Island photos. Those eroded rocks are amazing, and the Roos are *cute*. The scans might be a little too low-res, or reduced too much for the Web. I can sometimes see where the detail stops even on the screen, and I want to see lots of detail in such magnificent landscapes. Note to self: If I ever get to Oz, this looks like a place to visit. Is the island volcanic? This shot http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/gh/a/c_001/KI+23.jpg.html looks like a huge lava flow that hit the ocean and has since eroded into beaches. And is that a seal-rock or a penguin rock in the foreground? :-) --Peter _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
