I took some new photos of a couple of my robots, and they came out
pretty good so I thought I'd share them. The photos were taken outdoors
in indirect sunlight, with a Canon Powershot S20 3.34MP mounted on a
Velbon tripod. Post-processing consisted of scaling the images down to
70%, cropping them to 1024x768, tweaking the brightness/contrast values
slightly, and compressing the images some so they weren't 1.2M apiece.
The only problem I had was that the solar walker kept trying to leave :)

Be forwarned, each photo is in the 600K neighborhood. Comments on robot
design, photographic quality etc. are all welcome.

Nice images, they should go nicely with your excellent site. I am curious as to the ground that is in those images. Looks like broken gravel with grass or some other green growing through. I am wondering if this is your back yard, or drive way, or (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) These are great looking robots and photographs, I think the way you have used colour on the robots is fantastic. The quality of photographs is making me want to "upgrade" my digital camera ;-) Jennifer Clark (23 years ago, 9-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.publish.photography)
