FILE
1. CAMERA 66" LENS MAG-103 WAS USED..jN MISSION EB-1 FLOWN ON
24 JUNE 1963; PROCESSING WAS ACCOMPLISHED BY WESTOVER.
2. THIS EVALUATION WAS MADE FROM A DP (ALL OBLIQUE PHOTOGRAPHY).
THERE ARE NUMEROUS SCRATCHES, PINHOLES AND BRASIONS THROUGHOUT THE
MISSION. SOME UNDOUBTEDLY ARE ON THE ORIGINAL NEGATIVE. THE
EXPOSURE IS INADEQUATE THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE MISSION, POSSIBLY DUE
TO THE TIME OF THE DAY THE PHOTOGRAPHY WAS EXPOSED. WHERE EXPOSURE
IS ADEQUATE, THE RESOLUTION IS VERY GOOD; FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE LOWER
THREE-QUARTERS OF THE FORMAT. GROUND SHADOWS ON A PORTION OF THE
UNDEREXPOSED FRAMES SUGGEST THAT THERE WAS ADEQUATE LIGHT AVAILABLE,
WHICH INDICATES THAT THERE WAS AN EXPOSURE MALFUNCTION OF SOME SORT.
ON FRAME 419, VEHICLES CAN BE IDENTIFIED AND PEOPLE WALKING CAN
BE DISTINGHISHED AND COUNTED. THE DATA CHAMBER IS RARELY IN SHARP
