Archives TypeElectronic photographs
Scope & contentOver 250 pictures, covering most of the central business district's public and commercial buildings.
Originally supplied to the library on a DVD or compact disc.
Taken with a Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd on its default setting; original images were 3648 x 2736 pixels.
When it was realised that the pictures suffered from barrel distortion, Adobe Photoshop Elements 5.0 was used to compensate for this; it was not a complete success, as the distortion was erratic.
The opportunity was also taken to have all horizontals and verticals on the front of a building also horizontal or vertical in the pictures; pixel counts differ, depending on the degree of compensation used. the modified images have an A suffix.Organisation & ArrangementTitled so as to present each side of a street in sequence.
