Best of Barskoon - a picture collection

Only a sample of the 187 pictures in the collection

I have finally gone through the 3000+ photos from ten different photographers from the build in Barskoon, and selected the 187 best ones! In total I have spent more than 30 hours on this now, categorizing, selecting, cropping, sharpening, color-balancing, etc.

The pics have been selected from many criteria, among them:

• Photographical excellence. You know, the ones with perfect focus, colors that hits you in the face, and all that. Luckily enough we had some excellent photographers with us!
• Funny motifs. You know, as long as it makes you laugh it's ok if the pic is totally out of focus.
• Representative motifs. I have tried to get a couple of pics from each of the main things we did.
• Personal taste. I have really done my best to not crowd the collection with pictures of myself, butI am sure that the Barskoon mountains are over-represented, just because I loved them so much.

You can find the pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/inkorg.peter, so go there as soon as possible. I'm sure that you won't agree with everyone of them, but there's something for everyone.

I have had a really good time going through the pictures the last few weeks, remembering everything that happened and weeding the good from the bad, and then finally adding the captions, I hope you will have almost as much fun when you look at them!

P.S. Three tips for new users of Picasa Web Albums:
1. Use the slideshow function to see my witty(?) comments.
2. If you download Picasa, install it, and then get a Google account you cannot only publish your own albums, but you can also download mine and other's albums complete with comments to your own computer, where they are even easier to look at and manage. I love Picasa!
3. I have uploaded the pictures in 1600x1280 resolution and not too compressed. Although fairly good quality, I have of course the full quality pics available offline - just ask me if you want a copy.

P.S.2. If you are a member of the team and is reading this - yes, this means that I am very close to sending out the DVD's with almost all the 3000+ pics in full quality.
