Catching Up

Thursday 31st May 2012, we received a small number of the base discs and the small hubs to complete some products already sold. Before postage, we managed to grab some product images....

Now, I have never been very good with 'product images' no studio, no large windows streaming with natural light.... I live in a part of the world where it is rare to see the sun for a few days in a row, further I struggle with the whole 'how to set it up' what will look best ?'.
 Whats more I have to admit to being part of the photographic club of  "All the Gear No Idea" Fortunately lack of funds has forced my exit from the club as I can't keep up with members quest for new better gear and there is only so far a lack of knowledge will get me ...
  - I first picked up a digitial SLR 5 or so years ago, I've upgraded several times to the point at which I now have a camera with more internal processing capability than was used on the first Apollo space missions. Thanks to Nikon, I have lots of 'gear' all of which combines to produce high quality capability - me being the limiting factor :-)
 That being said - I am quite happy with some of these. Taken inside a £15 light cube from ebay (thanks Mr Coull) & below a north facing Velux skylight.








 I prefer the last image and will work on that for the larger Fan-Ce images. Next job is to see about getting the base discs engraved / etched with product name / web address. I suspect it will be cost prohibitive, I have a hankering for a bench top CNC engraving machine.. which go for £300 on ebay- couple it with an old PC and a little router I have - it may suffice ???

It is now the weekend of the Queens Jubilee and two Bank Holidays - which of course means its raining or dull, cold and overcast at best - shouldn't grumble as May produced me 365 KW/h of Solar PV from my 16 panels - you can see 6 of them being installed here:- http://www.peakdistrictcreations.co.uk/about-us/environmental-policy/solar-pv-panel-installation/
