Here I compare outdoors afternoon light as illumination with a regular table lamp illumination; to give foldscope users a perspective on how to select light. Also; I tried an informal narration mode in the video itself. I will do more of these live narration videos to both improve my craft of telling a story on the fly; and also making the videos more engaging for the listeners.
Outdoors video: all the green that you see is my backyard. Clearly I am not a fan of cleaning up a backyard.

Here is table lamp illumination. Please ignore comments from my mom who is visiting – bugging me to eat. As you all know; that’s life.
Cheers
