Added hardware for servos.

Three of the four pulleys had to be machined for proper fit.

This is my example of bracketing. The picture on the left is one stop overexposed, the middle is proper exposure, and the right is one stop under exposed. I really like the detail that I get when it is a little underexposed. When I take pictures of planes(my hobby), I always try to underexpose a little to get that detail, and then correct it in Photoshop.

focus bracketing was a little bit more difficult then it sounds to do with my lens you can hardly tell......

bracketing

I've not fixed the infinity focussing on this lens so it's only useful for close up shots at the moment but considering this was the first time that I've used this lens I'm quite impressed. Quite reasonable image quality given such an old manual lens and after just a quick clean.

The brackets were growing on a small tree stub

Note that there is a shadow line where the crack was. This is evidence that the crack has been there for some time.

Still bright orange.

• Exposure Bracketing: [one image, which should be a triptych, meaning one image composed of three other images in separate panels] containing three images at intended exposure and the +/- compensations of the bracketing. Choose a subject that is intentionally chosen for its difficult lighting situation (for example, extreme lighting contrasts in the scene, shadow areas, back lit subject, etc.). Place the normally exposed image in the centrepanel,the underexposed image in the left panel, and the over-exposed image in the right panel. The image should be bracketed for either 1 or 2 stops.

metal bracket fabrication

Bracket fungus, photographed near the Bear Lodge Campground, NE of Alva, Wyoming on May 27, 2017.

Built by me, designed by the good lady. This will be welded to the engine mounting bracket on left side of bike. Note the hole above switch, this will be the location of the choke.

Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Ganoderma adspersum): In 1971 (Ref. 2), only three occasions of Ganoderma adspersum were documented in Slovenia. Today, it is known from about 35 MTB quadrants (Ref. 3). Eight species of the genus Ganoderma grow in Slovenia. Ganoderma adspersum is one of the rarer taxa. Ganoderma applanatum is very similar and difficult to distinguish from it. The latter is much more common. In the field, the two species are most easily distinguished by the firmness of the cap cuticle. In Ganoderma applanatum, the cap can be indented with intense pressure with a finger; in Ganoderma adspersum, this is not. Its cap has a very firm cuticle. Unfortunately, this test is only feasible for pilei with a more or less regular cap shape and are big enough. Often, pilei of both species are irregularly grown, with a distorted shape or only a small cuticle area. In these cases, resistance to indentation can vary greatly. The age of the pilei also affects the hardness of the cuticle. Reliable identification requires microscopic examination of at least some of their spores, which differ in size. As with all Ganoderma species, it is possible to write and draw on the underside of the pilei of Ganoderma adpresum. The tube layer turns brown strongly and immediately when pressed.
