1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Very cool, but experiment with your aperture settings to get a better depth of field like this:

I was just using a kit lens that came with the camera. It only goes down to f5.6. Some of my others go lower. I just had a few spare minutes before the children came home to play about.

I love macro shots. Excellent shots but a bit too dark for my tastes. ;)

You have to try f2.8, wonderful background blur. ;)
