Thanks, Jon.

I'll find time over the weekend.
Hoping for some good (day)light!

Thankyou for your guidance & patience.
Further C&C welcome!

Thanks, Tim, for the consrtuctive crit.
I found the dof wouldn't cover the front anthers (Well done!), & the pistil (Google again!).
I thought the tight crop drew attention to the pistil, a). against the black background, contrasting with the ott colour of the rest of the image & b). giving that theatrical look of curtains being drawn open to see Nature's show!

I'll re-shoot & see what happens - it's on its fourth flower, even as we speak!

C&C please.

Coker.

Tried to load an image to Gallery for the fourth time in two days. got this AGAIN:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /home/pentax/pentaxuser.co.uk/libs/php/pufunctions.php on line 738
There has been a problem establishing your connection to the database. Please contact support stating this error.

I reported the situation yesterday. Can someone please tell me/us what's going on?

Coker.

I've had the same messages as Smeggy & Belinda.
Reported yesterday.

I've resurected my compound microscope with a view to using my K7 to get images therefrom. I've just got a used Pentax Microcope Adaptor 2 and have had made by an engineer friend a further adaptor to enable the Pentax one to be used on my microscope's eyepieces.
However...
The amount of extension this gives, "film plane" to mic. eyepiece, makes the tungsten bulb illumination supplied with the mic. inadequate for easy viewing/focusing through the K7 viewfinder.
Does anyone know of a (low-cost!) positionable light source (halogen?), perhaps on some sort of flexible arm? Such a device would enable the slide to be lit either from below, via the mirror, & above for opaque objects.

While I'm on(!), could someone please advise: will my right-angle finder, MX fitting, fit my K7? Don't want to cause damage just giving it a go!

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Adrian,
Treasure those memories & keep Wilfred safe in them.

Roger.

Thanks, Jim, & of course I don't mind!

That certainly is an improvement. I had put mine though Neat Image, using the"recommended" settings. Perhaps something a little stronger was required...

Roger.
