I look forward to seeing the results.

Did you manage to get any pictures?

Snakes are like other pets, each one is individual and they have different temperaments. Although some species are more likely to strike than others. I've taken plenty of pics of my royal python with no problems. Best to ask the owner how the snake behaves. To get the snake to stay still you...

Instead of playing with gearing could you use a variable resistor? I'm not great with things like this so there could be an obvious reason it wouldn't work.

My head hurts... I think I can see where you are coming from.

Looking at the video makes me wonder if you could modify an oscillating pedestal fan as a cheap alternative?

Make a flock of apple swans (google it) and set them up so they look like they are on water.

Growing up I received daily smacks from my mum, my dad never raised his hand to me but he did send me to my room for hours on end with the electricity turned off. Sitting in the dark with nothing to do was much more of a punishment than a quick slap and sending me back outside so I could get...

Thanks Phil, it's helpful comments like this that I think make this forum the place it is. I've seen time and time again someone making a statement and a bunch of replies disagreeing but not putting forwards anything to help. For a complete novice (such as myself) to be told I don't agree...

Still learning and lots to learn, including which setting to use in each situation. Something I've learnt today, from your comment, is that instead of believing manual will give me more control I should learn more about the scene I am viewing. Then I can make an informed decision on which mode...

85% aperture 10% shutter 5% manual I would like to get to a stage where manual takes the greatest %
