what!
arse-over-head yet again...thank you, but we do not need any more bloody photoindex columns, faffing around with muddy fingers, reams of data entry, or sound-so-good-but-does-it-ever-happen 'method statements'....etc etc
do these people really know what they are talking about? >>>>
10 megapixel !!!(10!) - planning for motoway billboard ads ?Please get Real : this is 3-d mud, not 4-d hubble deep-view!(idiots) http://server1.sky-map.org/starImageView...mage_id=71
What about lens specs?
sound expensive these 10-megamegamega pixel things.....if they have good lens set especially so....
....just one per site then i presume?
full set of interchangle lens? flash?, light reflectors?, .... are you really getting the most out of all those pixels?
BTW:those digital cameras, LCDs, and motherboards just lurve moisture...
....i can strip down and reassemble my ancient all-mechanical Zenit (about as old as an AK47 and could also probaly stop a few rounds from one}
).... tried that with a broken compact digi for a laugh once (whoopsies!)- circuit boards and flash memory are great, until thier not, then they are utterly FOOBAR
[perhapes only guilty mind would worry some much about image alteration - it is very hard to fake entire sets of records,... but honestly, who has time/energy/tools for gods sake! i suppose you can always piont the camera some where else if you want 'less' archaeology, not matter the pixel count) - also v.important : all digital cameras manipulate the image, it is called processing, it is software bassed, beyond user control, acutally quite varibale, and generally more aggrsive than any end user tinkering..just a thoughtto be going on with......
take a million digital phots per site if you like - its very easy, and can build great archives...
-but keep a seperate Core Set of high resolution, well lit, key photos, that document key evidence very clearlry, and can easily singled out - as many mp as you want, employ a photographer, or even use film if you like- - but focus effort on getting a seperate core set of very good photos, alongside any number you want of more 'everyday' record shots, working shots, etc...
(10 no-less ! 10 megapixels -... laugh!?, i nearly lost me sharpie!)
PS/
people are niave if they think digital data can be piled up endlessley without repuccsions -
-long term (250+years) is very far from certain - current technologies/materials in that ball park are expensive in the extreeme and limited in stroage capacity-
micro-fiche, conservation grade papers, vellum, and carved rocks are all cheaper, have less capacity limits (if your sheep/rock is big enough) - AND ARE ALL SELF EXPLANATORY !

[i believe chinese engineers have made quartz crystals with digital data inscribed interanlly in 3 dimensions with a laser - it will last literally forever (unless shattered)
very clever and precise - of course the problem is having the exact right tools to read it, or to even to know that it isn't just a thick chunk of glass !]
