RPL

Fortunately, all the people taking their lunchbreak from working on the scaffolding covering the nearby hotel were all hanging around in Festival Square where they could only observe and make what they would of TFP's setup. Fortunately no security personnel were bored enough to notice and pop over to enquire, neither during the shooting of the human participants nor the reshoots of the backgrounds and props (oatcake boxes cut up and formed into tubes; they didn't roll up as well as I'd been hoping and rolled-up printer paper (whilst more susceptible to the wind) would have been straighter and a better width) an hour later. Measuring the required angle of the cross-pieces beforehand would have been sensible, too. Fortunately the transform tools are available. Also noticeable and pleasing is the relative ease of using the magnetic lasso tool with the output of the D7000 compared to the D80, where the rampant noise always resulted in horrible spiky paths.

Off to try and amass sufficient ball-bearings of the correct size to let me get the spare bike back up on the original wheel...

...I did type some more here but it got lost somewhere. Perhaps I mentioned that the weird-sized-old-thing-bike-shop didn't have any loose bearings available in the size required (seven thirty-seconds of an inch) meaning I shall have to temporarily ride without a full complement should some frost or snow return prior to the internet sending me some balls of the correct size.
