Ta. I appreciate the feedback, but would like to address a few things going on with another post of the same object.
Andy chimed in on my M42 post and made a critique. I looked at what he said, agreed and fixed it. It's called peer review.
There were no cries of "blasphemer!" from yours truly.
Peer review points out things we as individuals may have missed, and I appreciated Andy's frank and fearless comments.
I made an observation with another high profile member's recent post...something I have not done for that individual for some time...
and *after* being publically abused contacted that person with what I foolishly thought would be a frank and private email, only to have it published and then called: privileged, pompous, narcissistic , to Fokker off and must clearly masturbate....not quite the result I expected!
Out of all the above...which is water of a duck's back to me... the "privileged" was the most pig-ignorant and absurd.
I was raised by a single mum on a deserted mothers pension....there was no silver spoon. Just determination and hard work that gave me a great education, a fantastic career and opportunities that went with it.
Sure, I now use some great instruments to take the images that I post here. But like many others I started with something very modest and worked slowly upwards.
Some may think imaging is some sort of pissing competition. If so, I think you'd be deluded.
Rather than "key" the enamel of that shiny new car, I look at it and think: nice, if I work hard I can have one too.
And so it is with imaging. Sure good gear helps, but without a work ethic the results will just be average.
