Congratulations, Galen. A well-done and nicely illustrated article, too.

Thanks, Wayne. The photos were the hardest part. I couldn't get enough lighting and was still using my camera, whereas since then I've discovered that my wife's camera has better resolution and lighting options. It's a simple matter to bracket a shot's brightness on her camera right on the control knob, as opposed to my camera which required you to go through a few menus before reaching the adjustment.

The neat little schematic is courtesy of the publisher. I'm glad they added it as it really, to my eyes, makes it very clear. The staff were responsive and great to work with.

I encourage anyone with an interest to submit an article proposal and give it a shot. I knew I had a neat idea but wasn't sure I could pull off an article (the photos being the biggest hurdle) but that's one of the neat things about electronic publishing - the resolution on the photos doesn't have to be super high. Things like lighting, focus and color balance still need to be excellent, but you don't need a fancy camera (or a friend with a fancy camera) to submit good photos.
