Why not add some of your photography to the regolith.com web site!
We will show all suitable material with the owners name (and copyright)
and we'll give each successful exhibitor a free link to any web
site that they may have. Spread the word about your own photography
- its free!
You can go ahead and e-mail a picture file to us or you can tell
us what you have in mind and we can discuss the matter via enquiries@regolith.com. If you know what you want to do, read on for posting details.
POSTING DETAILS
FILE REQUIREMENTS :
Images - jpeg file format to 150dpi resolution 360 x 240mm. The
image(s) if accepted will be displayed both as a thumbnail and
a 360 x 240mm enlargement.
TEXT:
Send plain text or a word.doc with the following information:
Title:
3 or 4 word description of what the image is all about e.g. CONFLUENCE
OF TWO RIVERS
Location:
minimum requirment:
geographic location like "Canyonlands National Park, Utah, USA
or Lulworth Cove, Dorset, UK.
Ideal requirement (and the standard to which all newly photographed
regolith.com material will be posted):
give precise Latitude and Longitude of the position, where the
photograph was taken and the compass bearing of the camera direction
in addition to the above information; e.g. "Canyonlands National
Park, Utah, USA Lat. 109 deg. 31'20" West; 38 deg. 12' 45" North,
looking NNW (330 deg). This location detail will enable us to
link with Geographic Information Systems.
Descriptive Text:
We are looking for three levels of description.
Level 1 has all the descriptive detail that the image is likely
to generate. The language should be aimed at senior High School/
College level. Here's an example :
B4 (our reference notation)
PEAT (title)
Killarney Lakes region, Co. Kerry, Ireland (minimum locator)
"Peat is a FOSSIL FUEL formed from compressed, preserved vegetation
that has been buried beneath the earth's surface. Unlike COAL
which is vegetation compressed by deep burial within the earth's
crust over many millions of years, PEAT is produced by shallow
burial (beneath a layer of SEDIMENT) in a mater of hundreds of
years. Over time, the buried vegetation loses its VOLATILE constituents
like SULPHUR and becomes more and more pure in CARBON. Coal has
a much higher carbon content than peat and gives off more heat
during combustion. Peat, however, is cheap and easy to dig in
areas where it occurs. It is common in many areas of Ireland,
Europe. It is possible to look closely at peat to determine what
plants are contained within it. From POLLEN ANALYSIS it is possible
to reconstruct pictures of what plants used to grow in the area.
CARBON DATING procedures allow peat and other ORGANIC DEPOSITS
to be accurately dated."
Level 2 descriptive text might read as follows for use by younger
visitors to the site - say in the age range 9-13 years :
"PEAT is a name given to dead plants and trees that died, became
buried and squashed together - fossilised, in other words. Peat
can be burnt to provide heat and energy. So it's a FOSSIL FUEL.
If you closely at some Peat, you will see different types of plant
remains."
Level 3 description for the youngest likely users of regolith.com
material (7 - 9 years) might read :
"PEAT comes from the ground and is full of dead plants and trees
that died, became buried and squashed together. If you closely
at some Peat, you will see different types of plant remains. Peat
can be burnt."
Words in UPPER CASE, where used, are "key" words that will be
added to a regolith.com glossary.
