Hi, Rom, The Optimus 00 is, without question, one of my most favorite stoves, and a real classic, both in form, and function! Thanks for sharing your photo with us, and congrats on acquiring your nice little 00! Now, I have to turn my computer back, right side up, as I had to shift things to see your photo in it's proper perspective!! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc (who now has a nasty crook in his pencil-like neck!)
Rom I believe your camera settings are not set correctly as your getting a lot of tungsten lighting mixed in with your flash from the camera so this is why the photos are coming out flat as you say and very orange. Turn the mixed flash and ambient light setting on your camera. Use either just a flash or use a bright Tungsten Lamp or Florescent lamp with the camera light settings set to match which one of those two light sources you choose to use. Make sure its a decent brightness so it does not make your camera have a slow shutter speed and high ISO. "Daylight" from a soft window light in the day time would be best though or say on a open shaded spot like a shaded porch. Hope this helps. Also attached is your photo doctored up a bit I hope you do not mind sir. Best Regards Rom. P.S. Great stove and find as that tin looks pretty good shape and beautiful blue color. ]
HI, Rom, Great little stove, made even more lovely by your application of elbow grease! 4B, LOVED your typically British comment, Mate! Well done! Rom, when you take a photo from an angle which shows us the photo sideways, it's always best to use your photo editing program to rotate them to the upright position. One of the little things we do for each other here at CCS, and easy to accomplish. Thanks, again, for sharing your stove, and here's to lots of fun use for you! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc (who is probably thought of as more than a little "sideways" by many here at CCS!!) 8)
Doc sometimes the photos may appear in some software programs rotated correctly as in "Vertical" when they are not actually rotated when they get uploaded so he may not see it on his end with his cameras software or viewing program. Then he may not see its turned on its side until its uploaded on the web. I get clients doing this to me all the time and usually its just on their end with their software and they dont know it. Easy fix is not to use your cameras software for editing to uploading.
Hi and thanks for comments. I have only used my iPhone for the photos, and that camera is not good. It's correct that I can see the photo correct when I have upload them and saved them to my phone again. But maybe the best is too transfer the photos to my computer and take it from there. Rom
Which iphone are you using? also you have to understand you need some decent bright light "Ambient" or "Daylight either of them to make the photo a good quality one. They may look flat to you due to the phones software boosting the ISO to get enough light to take the photo. The iphone 4s is far better then the Iphone 3 or even the regular 4 model. Even so they Iphone 4s still needs a decent amount of light to make it pop or to be a good quality colorful photo. Try using the shaded daylight like a porch or near a large window.
Evening, Rom, What sort of hunt will you be doing tomorrow?? And, where, exactly, are you located? I, too, am a hunter, and I love natural, fresh-harvested meat and fowl, as well as fish!! I look forward to hearing about your hunt, and seeing some photos, if you can take any and share them here! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Viscara: i'v got the iphone 4s Doc Mark: Today i gonna hunt for roe (rådyr) and red deer (hjort) using my dog "Zorro". Rest of the year i hunt such as reindeer (reinsdyr), moose (elg), beaver (bever). I'm located south of norway almost neighbore to "roat" here on this forum two minutes are neighbores? I will take some pictures so you can see some of my hunting places and animals
I get very decent quality photos from my iPhone 4, using the built-in HDR option. (You have to enable it every now and then, because the phone tends to reset it to OFF every time you use flash.) I often use an app called Photogene on the iPhone, which lets me make a lot of adjustments and improvements to photos. Yonadav
Hi, Rom, You wrote: "Doc Mark: Today i gonna hunt for roe (rådyr) and red deer (hjort) using my dog "Zorro". Rest of the year i hunt such as reindeer (reinsdyr), moose (elg), beaver (bever).

Good luck on your hunt, and let us know how it all goes. One of my most favorite hunting guns/cartridges is the M96 Swedish Mauser (6.5x55mm). It's a wonderful firearm, and brilliantly designed and made, which offers hunting and target performance far better than it's smallish caliber might suggest at first. All three of mine are surplus Swedish rifles, two long versions, both made in Sweden, and one short barreled version which was made in Oberndorf(sp?) Germany in 1899. All are outstanding, and the short one is particularly beautiful and amazingly slick in action. What caliber rifle will you be using on your hunt? Thanks for your reply and I look forward to hearing more. Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Doc, I'm betting he will use a shotgun rather than a rifle. It's not necessary, but that is the most common in Scandinavia when we hunt roe with a dog as Rom is about. I'm glad you like your old Swedish Mausers. I agree with you in their brilliance. And they are cheap too! (6.5x55 is allowed for moose here by the way, but just barely.)
First, i'v got nothing today. Today i used mine Sako 75 finnlight 6,5x55. Thats a great rifle for the weather condition today rain and snow. Also got sako deluxe in .243win and .375 H&H/.338 win.mag. .375H&H i use for moose and red deere. Took some pictures today i'll post them later (hopefully not flat )
