June 13 Day 3

I missed writing yesterday and today the internet is down. Fortunately, I have the Italian computer to use today. There are 3 computers here at the Tethys research facility. There is the main computer that is reserved for principal research investigators who head the team. There are 2 other computers designated for photo downloading and cropping one with Italian XP and the other with Spanish XP. Both are much easier to use than Greek XP.

We do not use any photo editor for improving image quality, because it effects the original color of the photos, which plays a key role in identifying individual dolphins from the database.

Yesterday, we spent the day learning the methods for collecting data, the characteristics and behaviors of dolphins and photo cropping.Photo cropping is normally a basic and easy procedure, however you need to take time to be more precise so the photo shows the dorsal fin with all markings.
