Editorial - By Footleg
After many hours spent bleary eyed in front of the computer, the first full colour issue of the Cave Photography Group newsletter is finally complete. Whilst the foot and mouth disease outbreak has prevented access to most of the caves in the UK, the many enforced weekends at home have enabled this issue to come into being! I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I have enjoyed putting it together. In the following pages you will be able to read reports on our successful Spring field meet including photographs by several of our members who attended the weekend. We feature the mine photography of Ken Geddes in our gallery pages, and you can learn about 3D photography in David Gibson's article, illustrated with some impressive 3D cave photographs by Maurice Hewins. Finally in my digital corner column this issue I talk about some of the pitfalls in trying to understand scanners, for turning your photographs into digital images.
It is good to see work from a wider cross section of our membership this issue, and I hope you will enable us to continue this trend by sending us your pictures and articles for future editions. This newsletter can only be a success with your input. We would also love to hear what you think of our first steps into full colour, and what you would like to see in the newsletter in future. Do you have any fantastic ideas for how we can improve the newsletter? Why not write and tell us? You will notice that the letters page is absent from this issue. This does not mean we are no longer printing readers letters, but reflects the lack of letters which have been sent to us since the last issue! We value the opinions of our members (whether favourable of not!) so let's be hearing from you. We are also looking for spectacular underground images to feature on future covers, so why not take this opportunity to show your work to a wider audience?
