    Yeah - maybe, I have given-up looking for the silver bullet, just going with what works for me.

    Got a nice snap of the 3 cleaners trying to keep up with the dust ..

    All the heaters have been removed, cleaned - checked for damage, tested and now neatly packed away. This way I know they are ready for action in 2016.

    Thanks Linxie - guarding that I do not fall into bad habits - so I took the razor to the tank and did some scraping.

    got rewarded by spotting some flowers taking shape.

    Love how the leaves close when they have had enough light - one day I hope to do some image ai to use this instead of a timer to let the eSun set.

    played around a bit more - abandoned the AWB and tried to do my own RB gains so that I have a bit more clarity on the flowers ...


    A typical full sensor shot would look like this.

    But I think prefer the boxed shot

    A watched kettle never boils ....

    rpicam_07102015-064001-watch.jpg

    was trying to do some LED lighting for night shots - IR is so bland.

    Don't think the fish would get any rest if I was going to keep that running - so no night shots at the moment.

    Thanks Linxie ... turns out my 5 volt usb supply is a bit flaky ... so my national geographical cinematography hopes have been dashed.
