A 96-well tray for testing biological samples, viewed under polarized light, and illuminated by the dim glow from pictures on iPads. Not to worry, the "biological samples" shown here come from a bottle of a fine French red wine.

Shot (without prior planning) through a closed window in shadow on a late afternoon under a dim sky. I decided to use this image to test my camera's high ISO abilities and shot it at ISO 51200. I used standard software to remove the resulting color noise, but couldn't improve much in the way of focus. A better than expected result (thanks to noise reduction software). I also like the chipmunk's look of concentration.

My CamRanger2 arrived today. The battery is not charged enough to try outside. Nellie agreed to be my model. She was very patient as I stumbled through the controls.
When i was grovelling in the woods over a week ago for my first Bluebell shot of the season I have to admit age and some limitations didn't help but I do love vintage bokeh though was finding it extra difficult.. Jonathan bought this lens for my birthday which incidentally is today, because I had looked at many reviews and thought the auto focus might help in this new lens, length 135mm f/1.8.. It was ordered one day and delivered the next and in time for me to test that is was fine. So the other day when i went the first of two short walks. I was able with the Sony A7RM3 to auto focus on the flower I wished, I then had the facility to override the auto focus using manual focus DMF in the camera settings and also bought up the focus magnifier to tweak where I wanted it sharp. It definitely is not vintage but I personally still loved the painterly bokeh I was able to get but with a little help initially from the auto focus ability of the lens. The new lens is a Samyang 135mm f1.8 and I will hopefully get some portrait shots too which is one of its main strengths but I don’t use any lens conventionally tbh….
The postman was kind enough to deliver one of my new 580ex ii in the post. The difference in the quality of the splash compared to my old Vivitars is so noticeable. The other should arrive on Monday.
Red dyed water dropped into black dyed water. 1no. 580ex ii @ 1/128 triggered from behind frosted glass by Stop Shot Module by Cognisys. Camera set to 2 sec exp, f16.
A pair of class 37s, unit 37405 with 37407 tailing, approach Derby some 66 minutes early with the 9.50am Canton Taff Vale Sidings - Derby RTC (1Z33) track-testing train.
The early arrival didn't seem to phase the healthy collection of enthusiasts on the station eager to get up close and personal to these 60yo machines. The train stopped here for a few minutes before reversing in to Network Rail's 'Research and Technical Centre', a few hundred yards out of sight on the left.
Comments off, thanks.

Already "from the beginning/middle of September" the government wants to tighten the Corona rules for millions of German citizens "regardless of the incidence". "Throughout Germany", restaurant visits, hotel stays, indoor events and hairdresser visits will then only be possible for people with proof of vaccination, convalescence or testing. (...)
Not even with a negative test. For example, above a certain incidence and hospital occupancy rate, unvaccinated citizens should no longer be able to go to restaurants ("exclusion of unvaccinated persons from attending events and in restaurants").
The so-called "3G" rule, which allows vaccinated, recovered and tested persons to participate in social life, is then to become the "2G" rule. This means that only the vaccinated and those who have recovered will have access - the unvaccinated will be excluded, even if they have been tested. [BILD, 8/3/2021]
