For a small fee (well, OK, maybe not *so* small) I might be persuaded to
reveal my innovative recursive technique. I learned it as a 6-year old,
when my sister and I used our little cameras (she with a Brownie box, me
with a VP twin) to take photos of each other taking photos of each other
in order to see what would happen.

OT Stephen! But thankyou for sharing. g

Funky Foam! (again)

A bit of pvc plumbing pipe (lined with black funky foam) allows me to
fit my unthreaded Sony P71 lens squarely (and on axis) onto 1.25"
eyepieces. Without damaging anything. Though still handheld. I switch
off the powersaving function (in the menu) to avoid that irritating
premature withdrawl. I wish I could report that my images are now
better than Kev's or Ian Kings's. But artists are born not made. I
merely "dabble".
