| Four megapixel camera is loaded with features
JAI has introduced a new series of high resolution, high performance progressive scan cameras. The new cameras leverage the high fidelity of the Kodak 1.2inch progressive scan IT CCD sensor (KAI-4021) to provide 12-bit linear images, or 10-bit/8-bit images that are modifiable by a user-defined look-up table (LUT). The TM-4200 series includes both monochrome and Bayer CFA colour models with a choice of Camera Link or GigE Vision gigabit ethernet digital interfaces. All of the models include image center partial scanning (100, 500, or 250 lines), as well as variable partial scanning where the user can choose both the starting point and the specific number of lines to be scanned. Full frame shuttering up to 1/16,000 second, and asynchronous reset, no-delay pulse width control shuttering are also included.
Elusive landscape ever shifting
North Shore photographer David Randle is passionate about walking, swimming and photography. He's a natural winner for a photography competition based on the ancient natural heritage of Gondwanaland. DAVID Randle's photograph of Fraser Island dunes reveals a sandy landscape of craggy mountain peaks and dark valleys. Its sharp contours and striking composition won the black and white section of the 2005 ANZANG Nature and Landscape photography exhibition. ``I was hiking through the Wungul sand blow on the east coast of Fraser Island,'' Randle said. ``I saw a very unusual dune formation. The wind had formed the ripples and the dune was just moving very slowly forward. I've done lots of sand photography and I've never seen anything like it.'' The 23-year-old said he took lots of colour photographs of the formations but preferred his black and white shots.
