I will be there soon after 3Pm or around that time. Last time met Kris but missed others I think by just a few minutes as I left early. Will try to stick around slightly longer this time.

Chris are you serving drinks this time? What's on the menu? Any high carbs snacks? I will have finished a 3 hours gruelling training session in the morning, a snappy lunch and then head towards you so if you have any edible goodies that are not part of freebies better tell James to lock it all up behind the counter

In the link you put up, there are a couple of suggested books by Harold Egerton. I have another of his books called Stopping Time - a whole load of his piccies. He was a pioneer in this field.

He has some piccies taken early 1950s of atomic bombs going off, 'freezing' the mushroom cloud in the first few microseconds of going off and an exposure time of 1/100,000,000 second (can't do that with your K20D!).

I wouldn't suggest you try that in your shed
The camera set-up was 7 miles away!

Great, thanks Andy
Hadn't noticed the books in the resources section but now you mentioned it I just checked.
fantastic, that's really great, going to check the books now

thanks again

I think I better go rummage in the kitchen and see what is there for breakfast, stomach rumbling now.
Then might drop by Pizza Express for one of these

What have you been sniffing or puffing Paul
Surely can't be that coloured smoke that I sent you in bags by Royal mail is it? That was supposed to be just for photographic experiment, not to be puffed . That has a kick like a mule, no wonder you can't sleep at nights for 5 days

I'm going shopping now so I'v left Tracey here with the windows open, she will ring me when she hears the big bang.
Tracy... Give him a huge list of stuff to bring, he needs more fresh air, keep him outside for a little longer, and make him cook dinner when he comes home, keep him away from the computer, , its too addictive for him

By the way Paul, how come you got a picture of me with orange colour hair? lol, last time I saw I had none, orange was just what I was wearing.
If only you had been to specsavers

Tel and Paul, I can see you kids having fun

Remind me again how old are you two?

And I thought I was the one who was a teenager around here aha.

Paul, where the heck do you dig out those funny characters? Teach us how to do it .

Tel, I have just butchered one of my remotes, now all I see here is a jumble of wires and some green plate with some soldering dots on it, do you know what that is?

That's Very Funny Paul

Amin's Shed R.I.P.

And I thought my shed was always a partially secretive place . Seen only through the reflection of the bubbles. Dont know how Paul managed to get that image of my shed at all. That is the exact shed I have. Oh there is a sign and a red light missing outside the door saying "DO NOT ENTER IF RED LIGHT ON, DANGEROUS PHOTOGRAPHY WORK IN PROGRESS"

Such as.
Tel don't worry, if I blow up it won't be my shed, nor my K20. If something ends up toasted it will be my cheap IR remote control.
You really didn't think I was going to plug a DIY device, specially one made by yours truly into my beloved K20D, did you? .

Phil, thanks for the link,

Paul thanks for the advice also, will bear that in mind, very nicely and graphically explained ha .
And don't worry, I love my K20D to bits and would never risk doing any foolish thing to risk it, will find safer ways to fulfill my urges to experiment
