Those pics are well and truly cropped so I don't give the game away .

And Father Ted was wrong with his guess . umm sort of

Now as to the focus problem - I'll try again tomorrow when the light is good again . To my surprise I did actually have a green hexagon for all those .

The focal length was somewhere about 35 I think ,[ without checking ] this is the second subject for this excercise. .

The way I've been doing these is to set the 'thing' up , switch on using Av , put my Aperture to about 9 and then go well in till it's definitely out of focus and back off till I get the hexagon showing , then back off fractionally again and go in till the hexagon is there. If necessary and it's hunting to focus I'll play with the fstop till it's happy .

I suppose I really should try with the tripod - but I don't have a remote as yet and with my dodgy hands I could upset it after setting it up , as I pressed the button.

Maybe I should be trying manually - but I'm twitchy about that as I really don't know what to set first for that - fstop , shutter speed ?? ISO [ one or 2 I did this afternoon were at 1600 to my surprise ]

Err - Hyper focusing ??

Gently does it please

Thanks for the definition - now I know

Love the roof and its tiles.

As for the sky - oh it would be nice to see something like that here .

That first one is really fascinating - driftwood on sand ?

well - now if I said what it was that would give the game away

There is a final pic - but that does give it away of course .

Now would you care to explain what you mean by a little soft ? How can I correct that ?

The object does not actually have any sharp edges / lines / boundaries .

6 photos for doing an Andy Warhol on them in class and/or a puzzle set . This he explained to us as a series of shots which didn't really ID the object and left you guessing. His example was an old fashioned-clamped-to-the-desk-pencil sharpener with a handle to operate it , - he had the maker's ID plate , the catcher for the shavings , a pile of shavings and the holder blades for the pencil.

I've had 2 shots at this and am wondering if this works - needless to say I've not included the final pic as it gives the game away . All are of course well croppped

Stefan ,

Sorry you are going to have to put up with my name as technoidiot till I'm ready for something else

Wales is part of the UK as is Scotland , but both are countries in their own right.
