Thanks Lainey!! Found a work around...if you enter "Bikecolorado Flickr" on Google and select the results it will take you to my photo feed. It's more than just the horse outing though.

Nope...still wont show the link.
Nice! How near does that lens focus? I finally setup my light box, for close-up work. Came out ok. Works nice for small electronic parts, during amplifier and guitar restoration. Need to rig an overhead, centered tripod

Wind, this is a unaltered handheld shot with the Canon 100mm lens. It’s slightly out of focus but represents how much magnification the lens is capable of. I prefer a 100mm or longer macro lens over a shorter FL lens. Why? Because a 100mm+ allows a greater stand-off distance from the subject.

I did get this 90mm macro. It came as set with the A6000 camera body. Haven't used it much. Kinda big. Makes nice portrait photos.

I'll try it on some close-ups, later on...

One more hummingbird photo, this AM. This suckers are too fast. Just lucky to get one semi-non-blurred image. Lots of grain...

Half-wave rectifier. Prolly military use (like late 1940-early 1950s avionics). "W" suffix usually means mil spec. I have a bunch of Bendix made tubes, which were used in 1950s ICBMs. These are 6106 full-wave rectifiers. Guaranteed to withstand 500Gs. Within electronic specs at 80,000 feet, Tough as nails, no guitar amp can destroy these.

Nothing fancy here; just a photo of flowers we get every year that drop off way too quickly.
