Not that Have got remotely close to using that.
It took me a while to get my head round this and change my approach.
The problem then becomes one of organising and storing the images.
Where in Turkey if you don't mind saying? I've been there a few times, mostly on business.

Well chronologically I'm in my sixties but attitudinally I don't feel much different from my 30s, though I'm not sure who that is in the mirror.

I worked rotating shifts virtually all my working life most of it was three shifts ie day, afternoon, nights but the last 10 years of working I was on 12 hour shifts - 6 to 6.
What a difference they made. They took a while to get used to , indeed some people resigned because they didn't want to work that shift system but personally I thought they were great - far more time off.
The first night shift was hell, by midnight I felt I had been there for a week but once you got used to it they were a doddle.
I actually enjoyed my work, it was one of those jobs where you really only work when things go wrong, ie 90% boredom 10% terror, but when I reached 60 I decided there were other things I wanted to do.
(I was never actually bored - always books to read, crosswords to complete, people to chat with, plans to make etc.)

You were probably joking but l would never lie, l just couldn’t do it. Anyway, who would want to employ a liar?
