Where to get a GA-890FXA-UD5, revision 3.1?

   Ah! shucks! ... that would be fantastic but I,m aiming for some pretty cutting edge kit/build this time round as I want to have a crack at a chilled water record (CPU only chilled) so will mean a high end board unfortunately .... 

  My accountant reckons I spent more on cameras and PCs last year then in the last 5 ..... so I need to start planning on Dying before 2018

  Every penny is going to count this time round ..... any and all charity welcome to continue my work and technical support......

  P.S ....How does -17 to-20C on the CPU loop sound?

Hi Al mate........nah......not on drugs.......mate!!!

Wow, all that expenditure just to format a few photographs!!!!

[absic]

Ah but what photographs they are.......

I didn't know that ladies did that kind of thing! 

[Aussie Allan]

  Nothing like combining business with pleasure .... my mates can do a Helicon (Software ) focal stack of 30x24MP RAW images .... they take from18 to 33mins per photo.....

  You would not believe how long it takes me

Wow Al.....that's some operation your got going there buddy!!!

Impressive stats mate!!!

[Dark Mantis]

OK dudes. What am I missing? It all sounds interesting there.

[Aussie Allan]

  Sorry for the delay DM .... if I read it right ..... Technology9 was commenting on the Photo stacking I think!

  you know when you get right in really close (Macro) and you end up with a really shallow depth of field (what's in sharp focus) and the rest is a bit/lot blurred ...... this software allows you to take a series of shots 3, 5, 20, 30, what ever it takes to get the entire subject in sharp focus at several points,.....stack them and take out just what's in sharp focus.....and combine them into a single image.....check this out....

Hi,

Yes I was commentating on the photostacking, have you got the link to that software Allan? Sincerely, that would be very useful.


Teknology 9

Thanks Allan, I'll look into that.

[Dark Mantis]

Thanks for that Allan. Very interesting. I have seen the process before but I didn't know it was called that. It is handy for increasing the depth of field especially when taking macro shots because sometimes it can be difficult to keep it all in focus.
