Thanks everyone..being colour blind is a real disadvantage...I worked out percentages that should have worked ..and my daughter said it was close but at a point where it can go purple easy.
I hope to leave here on Sunday on the positive assumption the ankle can manage the drive..I have a wheel chair in Sydney so I will use that to get from the car to see Dad ..I just hope he hangs on...and it would not surprise me if he makes it to 100 it's only another two odd years.
But I am happy with the progress given they are short exposures, high gain, poorly focused and that I have a long way to go with processing..but as we all know the better it gets the more effort for marginal improvements...think car racing probably easy to lap within a second or two of top dog but hundreds of grand to close the gap
Thanks everyone I am ok I have got my head together as you can see from my expansion of the universe thread.
