This one taken with the auto setting on the Nikon:
This one with the Sunrise / Sunset setting:
The auto setting is the more natural of the two.
I do like the view in that direction, looking through the delicate branches of a Silver Birch.
I needed some way of stopping me from waffling on while I am talking to other amateur radio enthusiasts when I am using our local repeater. It has a three minute time out and it caught me out a couple of days ago while I was chatting to an amateur in New Zealand.
To that end I spent yesterday having a think and today finally decided to use the small colour LCD screen I showed many moons ago. It is plugged in an Arduino Uno. The problem came when programming the Arduino. Last time was so long ago I had forgotten how. After a lot of Googling I found the information I needed to make it show a slowly pulsing large green circle which changes to yellow after about two minutes and then to a faster flashing red with about 30 seconds to go. There is a push button to start the thing when I start rabbiting on. Time will tell whether that is enough to curb the flow of hot air.
My son is an enthusiastic radio ham abd spends many happy hours chatting to folk all over the world. Good hobby.
ReplyDeleteWeaver: It is and it's great to get back to it after a gap of seven years.
Deletei like the auto setting better, too!
ReplyDeleteTWG: Yes, the filtered version spoils the natural subtle colours.
DeleteThe sunrise/sunset setting got rid of the lovely lavender and purple in the clouds. I like the auto better, too.
ReplyDeleteWilma: I often find the pocket type cameras have too many fancy features which spoil natural photography.
