Thanks for coming along & stopping to have a look.

Any thoughts, comments or criticisms welcome.

Peter, a slab is a sub-stack.
So, in this case 3 slabs x 13 as opposed to 1 stack x 39 frames.
I find it's a bit quicker.

( NB but see above,,,)

Roger.

After a tentative enquiry, shall we just say it would have to be birthday & Christmas combined,

OR

the basement gym & cinema would have to be put on hold

AND

the shepherd's hut & the beach hut at Sandbanks would have to go as the down-payment......

Oh, sorry!


It seems I've been dream-posting.....

Roger.

Astounding!
10/10!

Out walking the dog earlier, every cow parsley top had about half a dozen on board, all down the lane, there must have been hundreds!

Thanks for letting us see,

Roger.

Thanks,Chaps.

Put an uncropped frame of the stack on my screen.
(Roughly) measured the frame width on screen as 230mm, & one of the grains ,on the same screen, as 2mm.
The grain is, therfore approx. 1/115th. of the (APSC) frame width.
APSC frame with is approx 23.7mm.
23.7mm divided by 115 = roughly 0.2.

The grains are approx,. 0.2mm in diameter.

Is this ok, does it work, is it about right..............?

(Edit)
No.This combination of lenses gives a repro. ratio of 4:1, so.......
Does that make the grain (0.2 divided by 4) = 0.05mm.
Excuse me, my brain hurts.
I'm going to bed......

Thanks for looking,

Roger.

Picked some roses from the garden yesterday &, overnight, they started dropping petals.
Went to tidy them up & noticed this chap on one of them.





Whilst I had the camera set-up on the tripod for macro, I thought I'd take a video of the grub to record what was obviously some internal workings of its body, clearly visible through the viewfinder of the K5.
Now, I'm a complete stranger to videography, so I just changed the dial & clicked "Go"!

Quite pleased with it, actually.

But.

How can I share it?
Can I post it on here?
One is 5secs long & is 20.9 MB, another is 1min 18secs & is 344 MB!!!!!


Any guidance/ assistance please?

Roger.

Thank you all, very much!

Roger.
