spacecaption1999 took place on Saturday and Sunday 21-22 August 1999, in our usual venue, the Oxford Union Society. Gideon Nisbet took his new Olympus digital camera to CAPTION. We have organized our selection from his pictures by the people in them (not counting some people who’re obscured or not facing the camera). There also is a list of the web pictures in chronological order.

Most of these pictures were taken at 1024×768 pixels; some of the Sunday shots were at 640×480 pixels (contrast this with Damian’s CAPTION97 album, when the state of the art was 320×240). For the web version these have been scaled to 400×300 so they’ll fit even on lowly VGA-resolution screens. The pictures were downloaded on to Dmaian’s Macintosh using the camera’s serial cable, and the resizing and web preparation was done on his Linux box.
