[First coat of primer on the Buffalo body]

Several attempts to post have failed due to the server issue, but here goes again, I am following this as usual, but it now seems we cannot post pictures to a blog, having a complex cross forum method, to other postings or the gallery, as the only alternative, so all comment has to be that, just comment. If a picture or list is needed in a reply here it has to be posted elsewhere and links to it provided, a time wasting and frustrating and un-needed complexity.

 

My own postings will be on the forum with full access for replies, there is little point in running my own blog if all that can be posted by readers is text. I am afraid this new forum is a sad disappointing one, kept alive in future only by interesting blogs like yours.

Replies seem problematic at the moment, attempts to post are getting squashed soemhow, and I am not getting involved with querying further problems at the moment, it will just have to wait till things settle down.

 

Finding out whether replies have been made or simply finding the latest posts is a nightmare.

 

In the meantime, the ISO can be re-set higher to help, and why not try the flash with suitable light or white background. Most compacts are quite good at close ups with a bit of attention to detail.

Can you post the make of the camera, might be able to help out there, it should possible to improve most. looks like no flash has been used, quite Ok, but the light level might not be enough to force the aperture to a smaller value. it may just be brighter light that is needed, and it might be a touch of camera shake as it's called, again due to too low a shutter speed being chosen by the camera due to light level. Fooling the camera a bit by resetting the ISO/ASA film speed equivalent may help, at the expense of a bit of grain, but that should not really affect technical shots, especially if sharpened in Infraview or equivalent.

Backwoods kits need a fair bit of care in assembly to get the best running, the design is often a bit "tight", but potentially they should all run fine.

Hello, I am a little lost as to what to do to reply , I am assuming that this is the correct way to reply to a "Blog", but I do not know who is able to read it, whether it is posted, or confined to this "blog". The new start is just that, reduced to zero, and I do not like it!

Any way nice to see the progress on the Saddle tank.
