As we are on the subject, I've been playing with my Canon 450d DSLR for finds pictures. Just using the Kit lense 18mm - 55mm at the 55mm end and about 10 cms from the end of the lens to the object. I've started with an old box picture frame, £1 from a charity shop. stand2 081.JPG Added a couple of &...

I like that PaulR, I picked up a Hobbycraft light box for a £1 from a charity shop the other day. Thinking of using it as a back light for the copyboard, which is currently a box style picture frame.

Who is a nutter then. :g37: Our 1978 "Kombi" Devon Moonraker camper. Which we use for camping and I use it during the detecting season to carry my detector in. I can chill out in a layby with a freshly brewed cupper and a hot slice of toast, when ever I want. :g62: She may be slow with no ...

Saw a programme about the redevelopment of post war Coventry a while back. They have extensive maps of known explosions. They are able to follow the track of strings or sticks from one aircraft.

Thats not bad Phil, most of the older handheld GPS qoute 5 m as the average accuracy.

This may help if you are on a budget, Click Here Close up filter sets that can be stacked on the end of a standard lense, I've had some success with these for finds pictures. Much cheaper then macro lenses.
