Edited it now!

ALWAYS set the 2-second timer on your camera to reduce camera shake when releasing the shutter -- even if you're using a tripod.
Well said W.
Very important tip that.
Some cameras do have 'remotes' to take a shot....Those are useful with the tripod.
It doesn't appear that anything uses a cable release now....They were handy too.

Bit slow off the mark FK! Trail had gone really cold - need to pick up your game if you are going to catch the serial offenders!

I often use the "auto white balance" on a layer, then adjust the opacity. ( my walls are YELLOW ! could you imagine how is the light ?! :'( )

It is- took me a few goes to get my head around it, and it helps if you have a camera that allows you to set the exposure but it gets great results

Sorry for the 6mm, didnt have any Pendraken stuff that had had the ligthbox treatment!
Beautiful work serotonin, thats my normal scale, have found the 2 sec delay button on my camera so will see how it goes today.
You've convinced me, just spent the hard earned.
Nice 6mm by the way
