Hiya All,

Funny old day here windy, heavy showers, glorious sunshine, far to windy for my liking everything's being tossed around like a Salad :lol:

Found this little 'Red Velvet Mite ' 2mm max. these are my favorite ' Ickle' critters, it hanging on for dear life & the Caterpillars a shot I just had laying around.

Cheers for now
Mark

NIce Red Velvet Mite Mark :-) Shame they're not the size of a house spider. The stack came out great, I've had mixed results with stacks, mostly bad, must go through Brian tutorial one day.

Great pics Mark. Love those mites.

Good work on the stack. I have several pics I'd like to try this on, but I can never seem to find the time...

(I know, stop posting and start working... ;))

Hiya Skylab, Alby, Bernie, Dave, Bill, Brian,

Alby,

I still cant work out how to align shots manually so I only use the auto function, my other prob is holding my camera still enough one handed, you should see some of my results, recon they'd make me a Million up at the Tate.

Dave

Hiya Dave me ol Cobber good to see you're still about, you must PM me your address & I'll crack of a letter to you then, yes real mail hope you're settleing in now & things are OK

Bill,

Tiz no use me asking how you got stuck coz I'm no good at Tech. stuff maybe someone can/could help you out.

Brian,

If you want I'll send you some up in a Match Box, strange isn't it that you've not got any as I woulda thought your garden would be alive with them, I think I mentioned once before ? they seem to love Yew Trees & Pines well round here they do

Cheers for now
Mark
