The images in this website were taken using a Nikon SLR using Fuji Velvia professional/slide film. These slides have been digitized using a high-end scanner that creates files of 600 dpi, 7000 x 5000 pixels, and 100 megs in size which is beyond what most digital cameras provide today.

All images were taken by David Johnson (pictured).

The Virtual Oceania website is hosted using Open Source solutions including:
