Sorry guys I was prompted by two needs on the forum .
1. Taking pics in general. 2.Be aware blanks you buy may not be dry and could move too far.
I agree the timber looks good but its not useful any more, pics can be easily obtained using the flash on a camera this way on the kitchen table.
What prompted this was two entries recently a man and his wife who showed two composite pics made with timber one of which was a young girl on a swing that reminded me of meeting my wife at her home she was swinging on a makeshift swing on a branch of Eucalyptus Nicholi this was 64 yrs ago.
I was so impressed with the pics shown by Penny I was prompted to offer to send an Aussie Penny of her birth year if I could , I heard no more ces la vie.
Peter.
