Re: Intergrating Light Meter

I'm sorry I have only one circuit board left and probably will have a
use for that. The rest (4/5) are in various stages of use or assembly.

I finally got round to getting a complete working one listed on eBay
though
http://cgi.ebay.com/Integrating-Pinhole-Light-Meter-Timer_W0QQitemZ170059998322QQihZ007QQcategoryZ297QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I suppose its a lot of money to some people, but for me I feel its
justified if I miss expose even on one photograph that could have had
commercial value. Realistically I know I will never achieve many of
compositions that I like again, be it particular cloud cover at dawn or
a particular flower that is short lived. Currently I'm working with
Hibiscus which only appear to last a night after cutting. If anyone know
how to keep them alive longer?.

All the best

John
