A lot of people detest Facebook and I'm certainly not giving them my details so they can spy on me..... just so I can look at photos. Also they have banned a lot of people off their platform for hardly any reason.

I'm very interested in your stuff though. Maybe the documentary will be posted later.

Looks a very nice place and you've captured it well with a 3D look which is rarely done other than on close-ups. The focus looks very sharp especially on the people. The red and blue of the jackets is also spot on.

These are all great and well presented as a set.

Love the lighting on the baby shot and hope you print it as a nice big framed picture for your wall.

Glad you enjoyed what was even for the UK a cold wet period. Only now does it seem to be looking anything like summer.

Some people might find this useful.

Just found a webpage that shows the type of moire problems that can be encountered and how to fix them.

A flies eyes are traditionally where you get problems with moire on reduction.

I've not noticed any serious moire on any of these.

These are intended for magnifications greater than 1X which usually means with bellows or tubes. You would be better off using just tubes at least the 'A' contacts work with the correct ones.

The Pentax manual for tubes covers the reversing ring and gives the magnifications possible.

I don't think the Pentax tubes have contacts. Jessops ones do and are described as AF, but AF doesn't work.

Very good Peter. Did the recording cut off before the end?
He tried to fit 13 shots on a 12 shot film .... i.e. His card was full
