These are wide-angle shots taken straight up from the middle of each of the 24 test plots; taken to determine the canopy-closure; have converted each to Black&White, then counted the number of Black pixels, using standard Linux utility programs: pgmtopbm and pbmhist; each is 200x150=30,000 pixels, so the black pixel count over 30,000 gives the percent-shade:

-- I have 2 shots from many plots; the difference is usually less than 0.5 (percentage points), but as much as 2 or 3, especially when I get my hat into a photo
-- unfortunately at plot01, my zoom-lens was not at the wide-angle setting

-- most are converted to B&W using:   pgmtopbm -threshold -val 0.50;   but some photos are so dark that clouds become black, so they are done with -val 0.45 or 0.40 or 0.35;   here is an example, showing the colour photo, the overdark B&W version, and the "correct" B&W version:
