Sorry but that photo looks like "Seconds before the accident" to me.

Commiserations Yves

[pedant] Actually although "wireless" is generally associated with radio frequency electromagnetic transmission it actually means what it says - no wires. It could equally refer to infra red, ultrasonic or other transmission of a signal or data using energy. It would be applicable to visible light. [/pedant]

I have no problems with mine either.

I think they are just being a pain in the proverbials. Remember the flashgun they offered at half price then cancelled the orders - now back on their site at full price

Sorry to go off topic but our native ladybirds are under threat from a foreigner, the Harlequin Ladybird. As a lot of us are nature enthusiasts, I thought it would be worth while mentioning them.

My thoughts exactly

Thanks for your candour George.. I appreciate it.

Paradoxically correcting the colour would more or less put it back to the picture I started with. The rain had washed all the dust off the nettle and made it look thoroughly verdant and healthy, which was not the effect I was looking. I took some of the green out and put a little red in to try to make it more drab to fit in better with my mood at the time, being stuck indoors with the weather et al.

If I may suggest one correction to your post, what I need is practice and feedback.

Thanks

I went about calibrating the focus on me lenses and things like that then I thought I'd have a play. To explain, I am an engineer. I deal with hard facts and equations and epsilons and thetas and I do not have an artistic bone in my body.

I fetched up with this -

All I can say is that it looked about right for my mood.

Any thoughts appreciated.
