Stroll through the Photo Gallery

This chapter contains some typical SSTV images. All are genuine received off the air and not retouched. These can be divided into 3 types:

Natural Images

These are pictures of real things with little or no modification. Send a picture of yourself in the "shack," your friends, relatives, pets, new toys.

These are usually produced by pointing a TV camera (camcorder) at the subject and getting the image into a computer with a device called a frame grabber.

The images below are quarter size images reduced to 256 colors. If you have a JPEG viewer, click on the image to see the full size, full color original.


Computer Generated Images

You don't need a TV camera to have fun with SSTV. Many people create interesting images with paint programs.


Composite Images

Finally, many people combine pictures of themselves and other natural or computer generated scenes for interesting effects. This is easy to do with paint programs that allow cutting and pasting of arbitrarily shaped regions.
