STILL TRYING. (24/04/16)

On Friday I decided to take the patient approach to birding. Around coffee o'clock, half tenish, I wandered into the forest and settled down with the dogs on a fallen tree. It worked a treat as a long range birding tactic, it did until a lass wandered past with a Boxer, Labrador and a Heinz. That put paid to the birding but I didn't really mind as I had a couple of shots in the bag and she was far more attractive and chatty than the birds.

Greater Spotted Woodpecker, male, a long way away but posing in the open for a change.

Tree Creeper. This system may not make for very good pictures but it does show the birds in their habitat.....Admittedly there is more habitat than bird but it's difficult to get both.

The Wood Sorrel is appearing as is the Wild Garlic. I'll get some chicken as the two go well with braised chicken. Sorrel gives a lemon flavour and I'll leave you to guess what wild garlic tastes of.
It's been a busy week what with one thing and another. I didn't have a beacon to light for the Queens birthday so I lit the incinerator, it's just an old oil drum with air holes in but it put on quite a show. It's the thought that counts.
I have been playing in blender and have now modified the title so that it is nearer to the effect I was trying to achieve on the Rolling video. Whilst playing I found a feature that I didn't know existed in Blender. When I pick a font I have to either know what it looks like, preview the fonts in Word or keep guessing and changing them. I found that I can display thumbnails. Years I've been swapping fonts and cursing. 

This is what I used to tolerate.

Then I found the tiny thumbnail icon.

That's better, no more guessing, I bet it has always been there I just never thought to look.
Here is the revised title, I'm not sure I like it now but at least it is something more like the vision I had.

 I don't know where the lines crossing the extruded text came from but I suspect I may have left the freestyle lines on. I'll have a look and see. The daft thing is that I don't need outlines. It's a baffling job.
Have a great week.
