Z Force Variants: The fruits of my project *UPDATED*
Z Force Variants: The fruits of my project *UPDATED*
Ok, in between working a full time job, writing a novel, writing a guide book to the edible flora of the British Isles, working on archaeology projects, and living as a high functioning alcoholic...
I have been photographing variants, and trying to describe them in the best way I can in order to provide a definitive guide. Much mocked (quite rightly so) this has been on the boil for a while, as most of you know (and don't think I can hear the groans every time you see I have posted something, bloody ingrates).
This is ongoing, so bear with me, but may I present Z Force.
Excuse the crappy photographs, I'm no T-Shot!
Also, I have given an "Immediate ID Features" section in the description in order to allow easier identification from blurred Ebay photographs taken by people who don't know a macro setting is for!
