Now, what do we have here?
An unbranded Seagull prototype watch, using yet another variant of the venerable ST25xx/TY25xx automatic movement series.
Big date at 12, small seconds at 6, white guilloche dial with copper coloured hands and applied roman numerals of the same colour.
Works perfectly, excellent values on the timer.
But something obviously went wrong... 😁

I love Fomapan 200 for its tonailty and hate it for its black dots or spots or streaks. Here are two pictures taken under nearly the same conditions, but admittedly on two different days and with two different lenses. The "black rain" on the Fompan 200 image should be pretty obvious compared to the Fomapan 100 image. I wish Fomapan would improve its quality control.

In 25 words or less? One raw material needed to make porcelain or china is clay, which is delivered by a supplier. The factory has to check incoming raw materials to make sure that that the factory is getting what they pay for. It looks like the instructions here tell the operator how to mark an incoming delivery, in essence accepting or rejecting the batch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rel1j4ZxPc

This latest roll of film I shot in my X-370 has serious issues. At first I thought perhaps light leaks, but am now heavily leaning toward manufacturing defect. I say that based on the fact that I've shot at least a few other rolls through this same camera over the past few years and this anomaly didn't show up on any of those rolls. So the camera would seem to be "tried and true", as they say. Notice the weird effects are not contained within the frames - but rather they span across frames and also the sprocket holes, so it's certainly nothing to do with the lens or lens mount. Anyone have thoughts?

We were tempted to use the title "These boots were made for walking" but given all the war and disturbance these days "Boots on the ground" is more relevant. Winstanley boots and shoes were synonymous with quality and durability back in the day. No gentleman, soldier, or policeman could ask for better footwear when going out and about.

My Selfie By Drone With Drone's Selfie By Me - IMRAN™
I love my 5-years old DJI Phantom 4 drone. But I hate how Lithium-Ion batteries on almost all devices swell up over time. My top of the line Apple MacBook Pro, my Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (provided by my employer Microsoft and mentioned in the interest of fairness and full disclosure), my Samsung Note8, my Apple iPhone X, are among the top brands showing poor quality control where the device literally blew open. I have photos of each of them.
It sucked in this case with DJI because I had invested in three of those nearly $200-each batteries. Two of them are basically so swollen that if I shove them into the drone they will never come out without destroying the aircraft. One battery still works fairly well but I wanted to have a spare.
So I ordered one this week from everyone's favorite villainous online shopping monopoly. In this case, I decided to try a non-OEM (original equipment manufacturer) version I found on Amazon.
It was literally half the price of a DJI one.
It does require the battery to be "broken in", by only flying the drone lightly a few feet off the ground and only run down to about 50% battery usage. A chore, for sure, but saving nearly $100 per battery, it is not that big a deal.
I decided to make it a battery break-in and quick general video recording in one. I finally had a chance to do that today but it suddenly got windy. The first thunderstorm of the summer season of 2021 arrived at that same time.
Flying the drone just 3 feet off the ground was actually looking much riskier than flying higher. The strong unexpected gusts of wind that I could see move the drone several feet up or down before the stabilization would get it back to its correct location.
So, I flew it about 15-20 feet above the water and took a few shots and clips. This was the final photo of the first run of this new battery as it reached 52%.
Kennedy and K2, my smart German Shepherd Dogs, had been standing where I needed to land the drone so I had to tell them to move aside. This place by the poolside is their play area, so it is a mess of toys, and towels they love to be dried off with after swimming. They complied and stood watching the aircraft on final approach.
I clicked this selfie of me from the drone camera. But it is also a selfie of the drone taken by me! You will see its image in the kitchen sliding door behind me. About 5 minutes later a massive rainstorm passed over the house. Battery run 1 complete, selfie complete, story complete, share with you all.... complete!

“I See Invisible People” … On Facebook - IMRAN™
It was bound to happen. The beautiful invisible woman added me as a friend. And a few days later her equally gorgeous equally invisible girlfriend added me. Unless it was her mean Invisible Man jealous boyfriend!
I can’t tell 😀 even though I have a Sixth Sense. Fortunately I’m alive and it doesn’t involve my seeing dead people. But Facebook’s idiotic system thinks there are invisible people who want to be my friends.
In this case, I can only see dead-poor quality control, software assurance, and user experience design testing at Facebook. Can you see them too? 😉

Flat. Dark. Flawed. Dodged. August2026. Extremely flat negatives that I brought back to life. From a 100 foot roll of Rollie retro 400s.(may be another film that they mixed up at the Maco factory). I like the look, but it’s just too much trouble to get a decent scan. Water control building near Bill and Hillary Clinton International Airport. Little Rock, Arkansas USA. RolleiRetro400s. PentaxPZ1. SMCPentaxFA28mm. PolarizingFilter. DiafineDeveloper5+5m. WaterStop-1m. IlfordRapidFix-5m. Washed:AGOFilmProcessor-10m. FinalRinse:KodakPhotoFlo-1m. CameraScan:FujifilmXH1.
Construction workers check the quality of the cement in a sample as a crane hoist a tub of it up in the air from the cement truck.
Pictured is D.Gary Young and the science professionals, as well as some of the corporate staff touring. You can tell the scientists by the number of pens in their pockets.
What you're looking at in the photo is why I would never buy a small supplier's custom coffee. In the middle of the coffee beans that were drying before being processed were puppies! I couldn't believe anyone would actually buy the ground coffee. The coffee being ground did smell wonderful.
Don't ask - I don't want to think about it - and I don't want to know!

Pipework Knoll. July 2026. If I get really flat negatives, I try to scan them anyway. Sometimes you can salvage a few of them.

Under Pressure. June2026. Water control building near Bill and Hillary Clinton International Airport. Flat negatives from a tried and true development process makes me think that this isn’t Rollie Retro 400s or that the previous 100 feet wasn’t Rollei Retro. Is there a quality control issue at Maco? Just processed another test roll in HC110-E at 200, 400 and 800 with excellent results at 200. Little Rock, Arkansas USA. RolleiRetro400s. PentaxPZ1. SMCPentaxFA28mm. PolarizingFilter.

had a few kitten collars and a bandanna to make for a friend this week, and use the opportunity to show my daughter Millie how to use the sewing machine. "try as she might Kiba couldn't work out what was so amusing and the noisy white box"
had other plans for this weeks photo, but Millie put glasses on Kiba and I couldn't help taking a photo :)

Samples of seed (clockwise from top left: treated wheat, untreated maize, and treated maize) waiting to be used in germination tests at small seed company Bidasem. These tests are carried out on each batch of seed just after it arrives from the field (before it is stored), directly before processing, and after treatment (just before packaging). The seed is are grown for fixed periods at known temperatures on a damp paper substrate to check its germination rate and vigor.
Bidasem is based in the city of Celaya in the central Mexican plains region known as the Bajío. It produces maize, wheat and oat seed, as well as marketing seed of other crops. Despite their small size, Bidasem and similar companies play an important role in reaching small farmers with improved seed that offers them better livelihoods. “Our aim is to provide farmers with quality seed at accessible prices, that is adapted to the conditions we have here in the Bajío, says director general María Esther Rivas. It’s a great satisfaction, when farmers achieve the yields they need.”
