Jay - I hope not too bro, glad to see the back of Nicki. China - anytime. Zeus - Thanks mate, it's all the camera - it's magic The show is called "Ideal" and is shown on BBC3. It stars a british comedian called Johnny Vegas as a small time pot dealer living in manchester and it's about all the people that come to pick up from him. It's really funny - if you can get your hands on it somehow it's worth a watch. Farmaz - I feel ya mate - also everyone would stop for tea and cake at 4.00pm sounds good to me, like a pre 4:20. Chubby - Cricket is awesome if you understand the basics, there's a short version of the game called 2020 which only lasts 3 hours in total (compared to 5 days for test match cricket) which has lots of action and is played at a fast pace. Good job they sell beer at all the matches. Cricket on the beach is the best though, with a joint Y - like I said to Jay, I hope she ain't dead too. Wasn't too keen on that FIST character, wonder if they'll keep him in season 5. That flashback episode was great, so funny to see him with long hair.
I took some shots of the Black Jack today but the upload seems to be broken so I'll get them up later, plus my little outdoor adventure begins....
Most pleasing to see you added a macro lens to your gadget bag.
I just spent a couple days at a friends who is mad on focus stacking and he has a couple focus rails. Cheap bellows and rail from ebay works pretty well for positioning shots but if you want to be really precise for sequence shots, no good.
He has 2 Manfrotto 3419 that are super smooth also but pretty good for fine scale stacking as it moves in 1.25mm increments (only forward and backwards here which is why he has 2), my fav was the novaflex castle Q as it's amazingly smooth. Problem is it only moves in 7mm increments. Useless for anything 1:1 or smaller and they cost a bomb.
Another friend has the velbon super mag slider which I thought was really bad, lots of travel and wobble. It did postion stuff well and seem to stay still when put, but hard to put confidence in it compared to the others.
Hope that helps you a little.
Whats the budget for a rail and do you need lateral movement or just forward and back.
Hey Ryu I already took the plunge and got one for £50 off ebay - it's this one http://www.adorama.com/MCFRS.html
It's rock solid and can move in less than 1mm movements by the rack and pinion in combo with the tightening bolts.
exploziv_gbb - didn't it rock before? only kidding man, thanks - I've got loads of shots to put up but the upload is still broke
Shitake - cheers man, gonna have loads of time to get to grips with it after tomorrow - I had to redo a piece of coursework that I missed earlier in the year (to go with the medical resit exam I just took), and I'm handing it tomorrow after I add some finishing touches.
(Inspired by Jay) Here's a few old photos whilst we're waiting for the upload:
Original setup
The Sweet Tooth has been flushed, I'm thinking of harvesting tomorrow, looks twice the size of the C4C99
Hehe...time to kick back with some new toys and all the girls!
Well, based on your thread here and in CH9's forum, I pulled the trigger on some Flower! Your plant looks soooo damned frosty I couldn't resist. Can't wait to run her out here in the desert.
Enjoy some Sammet Time, mate! (And maybe a few pints?)
Just a little note - CH9 Flower harvested today, big yielder. Nice sweet skunky smell, kind of floral, but she took about 15 minutes to trim as she was so resinous. shame the upload is still broken, I've now got macros from the Black Jack, C4C99 harvest shots, and CH9Flower harvest shots. C4C99 has a very nice tropical punch smell developing, the dank chlorophyll smell is starting to dissapate - so another day or so then into the jars.
Zeus - Still sitting here twiddling my thumbs waiting for it to be fixed
Shitake - I hope you enjoy it and yours are just as frosty
Chubby - cheers man - it's all thanks to ICMag and it's memebers
Hazy - The Sweet Tooth ran out a long time ago man - for a smoke report and dried nugget shots, click the Sweet Tooth in my sig
