The Manipulated Dead are more powerful than the Living Receiver. If a person dies within the Tangent Dimension, they are able to contact the Living Receiver through the Fourth Dimensional Construct.

The Manipulated Dead will often set an Ensurance Trap for the Living Receiver to ensure that the Artifact is returned safely to the Primary Universe.

If the Ensurance Trap is successful, the Living Receiver is left with no choice but to use his Fourth Dimensional Power to send the Artifact back in time into the Primary Universe before the Black hole collapses upon itself.

Another great photo Rick. I noticed in the video you mentioned how much ‘fun’ you were having trying to get the focus right. Is there any tips you have generally for getting sharp focus in your night-time shots? Particularly for your self-portraits when theres no one else there to focus for you?

David Weir, lots of practice, take lots of photos, get a stand in if possible. I sometimes use a light stand if I have a spare one. Otherwise trial and error does the job.
