Fantastic images,Alan!

Thanks for letting us see.

Roger

I'm planning a project using the K7's interval shooting mode.
Does anyone know, please, of a (free?) software that could convert the sequence of stills to a movie? If not, then it will have to be a fast slide-show!

Many thanks,

Roger.

Could anyone please give some advice?

When using NeatImage, which I've found to be v.good at reducing noise in my (K7) images,the colours become more saturated.
Is this unavoidable, or is there some aspect of N/I I'm missing.....?

Thanks,

Roger.

Well done, Mike, for getting in first!

I like them all, no.10 being my pick of the lot.

Looks like you've discovered the Higgs- Boson particle in no.2.......

Have a good time on the 5th.

Roger.

Many thanks, all, for your kind remarks!

A couple of images, from just messing around this evening with odds & sods to hand.

A darning needle, held by a button magnet at one end, the magnet held in a clothes-peg.

From the other end hangs, by its point, a fine sewing needle.

The needle was set in random motion by hand & captured with the K7 & 100mm D FA Macro.

Illuminated by a Kindle reading light & some ambient (kitchen!) light, black card b/g.

ISO 100, 13 sec., f8.

PSE9.



Comments, criticism or suggestions to improve, more than welcome!




Roger.

Technoline charger & eneloops ordered!

Many thanks, all, for the prompt, full replies.

Roger.

Having become fed up with our use of a variety of AA batteries, not only for photo uses but general household stuff, I've been looking at eneloops, which often get mentioned/recommended here.

Is there a specific "model" of AA for general & photo use?

Anyone recommend an intelligent charger for same?

Any advice would be most welcome!

Thanks,

Roger.

A couple of this creature, found on the cranesbill in the garden this afternoon.















Confirmed in the book as

Rhopalus subrufus.


K7, 100mm D FA Macro, 30mm tube, built-in flash.

C&C please.

Roger.

Well Neil!
This in-flight set is even better! The images really are superb, the best I've seen here.

Could you give us some details of lens, etc.?

Were they taken with catch-in-focus? ('cause if not, they're miraculous!!!)

Most inspirational set.

Roger.

p.s., agree with Womble, like to see a square crop on the reflection image.
