So you've installed Google Chrome. There's only one thing you need to check works fine. Who gives a monkeys about anything else?
I realised i'd not taken any pictures at all with my 18-35, so had to do a test at 18mm, that's it, nothing new to see here.

.RAF conversion results (July 2012)
The Fuji sensor arrangement makes the conversion RAF to JPG challenging for everybody. I tested 3 applications but still have not found the “Holy Grail” of Fujifilm sensors.
Silkypix (provided): the images are soft, have a “blue” tone and can not solve the greens very well. The results are so mediocre that I thought it was a problem with the camera. Anyway colors are uniform and noise is undetectable so can be useful in some cases.
Lightroom 4: is a good compromise, not so sharp but not so noisy and plenty of controls. But you need to pay for it, learn to use it, and it is not the “official” converter. If you have it, use it.
Therapee 4: gives the sharper and noisier results, it is free and can give good results. The photo size is the same than in .RAF, which is smaller than 4000x3000. It is a good complement for Silkypix users.
JPG from the camera: results are the best and are not time consuming, but you have few controls over it and need to be preset. M size (6mp) is sharper than L size (12mp), Astia film and highlights in low are advisable too.
I wish some company develop a better product to convert these .RAF files easily and better, meanwhile I shoot JPG and for important events RAF + JPG, a big SD card is mandatory.
Good shoots and better conversions ;)
Freeze blotter test in the Seed Health Laboratory at CIMMYT. To detect specific fungi, seed is incubated in ideal fungal growing conditions. Technicians look for distinctive growths of fungal species of quarantine concern. The seed is briefly frozen before incubation to prevent germination.

What's the angle of view difference between 14mm and 9mm?
I have used the much loved (and waterproof!) ZD 14-54mm f/2.8-3.5 lens since the beginning, almost always at 14mm, which is the equivalent of a 28mm lens in the film SLR world.
I wanted something wider so I next bought an 8mm fisheye. I didn't want to spend the money it takes to get a good ultra wide angle. The ZD 7-14mm, well known as a complete gem of a lens, streets at $1,500 on a good day, so the Peleng fisheye seemed like a deal. And I love the fisheye, but it's only good for certain things.
Eventually Olympus released the more affordable ZD 9-18mm f/4-5.6. It is the film equivalent of an 18-36mm UWA and this is what I bought today and used for the shots above. The top one is shot at 14mm, the focal length I have used most since the beginning, and as wide as I used to be able to go without the fisheye. The bottom shot is the new wide, 9mm.
It's currently selling for about $550. I got this one at Samy's Camera for $500 flat by doing a little fast talking and a little shameless eye-batting.
So far it looks like a really good value. There's no chromatic aberration where I'd expect to find it. It's sharp and well corrected and the contrast is admirable. At 14mm I'd say it looks a little better than the venerable 14-54mm does in the corners.
It's not waterproof so I'll just try not to drool on it. Happy new year, everyone!
Just a test for an idea i've had in my mind for a while, it's not right yet but i might do a small edition when i'm happy with it!

Testing the deployment of the Sentinel-1A radar antenna in the cleanroom at Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, France, on 21 January 2014. As the satellite is designed to operate in orbit, it is hung from a structure during tests to simulate weightlessness.

The Ultrasonic Test Train at Craigendoran Junction, i know its a bit blurred but what are those reflections on the windscreens ?
A bit of a summer project - that took longer than expected.
Taking two redundant Hornby Mk IIa BFK vehicles and splicing them together a reasonable representation of a corridor first can be made. This can then be used as the basis for Test Car 6.
Finished!
