Photographs of Settle and surrounding area

<body> <center><img src="n-yorks-photos.gif"></center><br> These are photographs taken in and around <a href="http://www.settle.co.uk/">Settle</a> in north Yorkshire. As you can see, it&#146s a beautiful area. If you click on each thumbnail, it will open the full-size image, no larger than 1024 pixels high and 1024 pixels wide. <p> These photographs were scanned onto Picture CD by Kodak, and I&#146ve only managed to put on 27 out of the 36 or so I had processed. Some of the photographs were scanned abysmally by Kodak, such that there&#146s precious little detail in the shadowy areas, and no amount of correction in Photoshop can deal with it. They would have to be re-scanned with the contrast and brightness corrected for each frame scanned. Photo CD is a much better system, but more expensive, hence I used Picture CD. Each of these images have been corrected in Photoshop, usually to bring out detail in dark areas, by highlighting the mid-tones, as well as a little colour correction. There&#146s a bit of a green bias on the raw JPGs on the CD, which I&#146ve corrected by applying a little magenta. This makes a change, as there&#146s usually a magenta bias on the raw JPGs on Picture CD. Apart from that, the colours you see on these JPGs are <b>exactly</b> as I saw them myself. As I had no lends hood for this camera, I&#146ve suffered lens flare on some of the photos, but that&#146s something I have to live with, and hope you don&#146t find it <i>too</i> distracting. I had to wait a long time for the sun to get into the right position (or rather, for the clouds to lift) before I took some of these photos. Just goes to prove that patience is needed when photographing in this part of the world. <p> If you wish to use any of these photographs on your site, please <a href="mailto:richard@the-gog.org?subject=Use of Settle photos">ask</a> before you do so. Provided it&#146s for non-commercial use, I&#146ll probably grant permission, provided I receive acknowledgement whereever you use my photographs. I can also make available the highest resolution raw JPGs (1536×1024) from the CD, at a cost of £5 should anyone need them. <p> <hr> <center> <table> <tr><td width=240 height=260 valign=bottom align=middle><a href="0a1024.jpg"><img src="0a240.jpg"></a></td> <td width=20></td> <td width=240 height=260 valign=bottom align=middle><a href="1a1024.jpg"><img src="1a240.jpg"></a></td> <td width=20></td> <td width=240 height=260 valign=bottom align=middle><a href="3a868.jpg"><img src="3a203.jpg"></a></td></tr> <tr> <td> <center><b>629 Kb</b></center></td> <td width=20></td> <td> <center><b>687 Kb</b></center></td> <td width=20></td> <td> <center><b>604 Kb</b></center></td> </tr> <tr><td width=240 valign=top> Settle Town Hall and market square.</td> <td width=20></td> <td width=240 valign=top> Fishmonger selling his wares from the back of his van on market day in Settle.
