A simple Moth Trap

There are thought to be over 2500 species of moth in the UK.


Inspired by a friends mercury vapour illuminated Skinner moth trap, I decided to knock up a quick & cheap imitation.


So my design mostly uses bits & pieces that I found in my garage.

I thought our Sony smart TV was suffering from early onset dementia.


It seems to have forgotten how to provide any kind of catch-up tv.


So I've had to look around for alternatives.

Photography: I like manual lenses

Manual lenses can be a lower cost alternative to those that support automatic operation.


The disadvantages are pretty obvious.


But I still prefer to manually set the camera before releasing the shutter.
