[QUOTE="TIF, post: 1824139, member: 56859"]OK, AJ, here's that Sev Alex. For you, a special low introductory price :D Not a great picture. I'm being to hasty with the photo setup. Plus, my good light died and much to my consternation I cannot figure out how to get the old bulb out! I'm a very handy person and it is causing much vexation. Using cheapo utility light with incandescent bulb now and having to desaturate the yellow in post. Guess I could at least see if I have a fluoroscent bulb for it somewhere in the house.
