NS 5281 pulls west on the Nofolk Southern Lurgan Branch near Mount Holly Springs, PA after switching directions. NS 93M ran with two GP38-2's as it ran DOTX 218 back and forth during track testing. The Federal Railroad Administration car is based at the Ensco rail facility near Chambersburg and is used by the FRA's Office of Research and Development.
It started off running nicely to time, but somewhere around Leicester it all went belly-up. Here the train was 89 minutes late. The working, on Sunday 13th May, was 10:00 Derby RTC - Norwich. What was RTC? Something something Centre, obviously ...Rail Traction? In the end I flew to Wikipedia. The Railway Technical Centre at Derby was claimed by British Rail at its opening in the early 1960s as the largest railway research complex in the world. Today, the article avers, "the only facility which is still used for railway research is the moving-model aerodynamic test facility". And, further, "A large part of the site is used as storage and an operating base by LORAM and Network Rail, whose rolling stock on site forms part of Network Rail testing trains. Usual traction on these trains is either Colas Rail class 37s or class 67s". This was one of the test trains then, "top & tailed" by a pair of 37s with the customary yellow coaches ...ex BR Mk IIIs by the look of them. I haven't seen a Class 31 on these trains in recent years: are there any still running?
As part of our Wonderbot project, I am building a small puppet theater in my studio, to experiment with poetic robots and interactive storytelling. Before building out a permanent framework, I am testing a few ideas, to best combine physical objects with digital images and sounds. In this test, the projector is pointing down from the ceiling so that characters can stand in front of the projected image without blocking it. With the projector about five feet away from the back wall, it can beam a backdrop that’s about 4 feet wide by 3 feet high.
We are creating a short story around Violet and Indigo, two ‘wonder ducks’ created by Natalina, which we’ve turned into 'poetic robots’. We’re now starting to write a loose script to guide their interactions, with dialog, music, sound effects, props and backdrops. We hope this fairy tale will inspire which features to give these duckbots (e.g.: respond to each other’s calls, approach or avoid one another). Our goal is to capture the best scenes on video and edit it all together into a compelling story at the end of this project. I can’t wait to see how far we can go with this.

The 11:11 Network rail test train from Dollands Moor to Derby passes Bearstead powered in the rear by colas rail class 37 37057 ON 23RD jANUARY 2016.
This is a test configuration of my Takahashi FSQ-106ED, a QHY mini guide 'scope with Starlight Xpress Lodestar X2 guide camera, and a finder 'scope the I plan to install in my small observatory that I am remodeling. My new Paramount MYT mount that will carry the above equipment is in my previous photo. The imaging camera is a Starlight Xpress Trius SX-36 with a "Maxi" filter wheel.
I would like to put both the guide 'scope/camera and the finder 'scope on the top plate, but doing so uses some of the holes that I need to mount the top plate to the OTA rings. I would have to drill some new holes, and I may do that, but I hate to mar that beautifully machined and anodized plate from PrimaLuce Lab. Stay tuned.

I put the LRAD on the HUMVEE & it seems fit on it... should I make a kits include the Avenger & LRAD?
Took a quick photo last night to test out some product photography gear and product photography table that I made. I also wanted to test a lighting setup that I had read about.
The lighting setup didn't seem to work at all which was so frustrating so I just made it up myself.
I'm not really happy with the results but it's the first time I've ever tried to photograph a bottle so I don't really know what I am doing (obviously).
Would love some criticism and tips on how to improve. Because it was done so fast I forgot to take a photo of the setup...sorry.
Basically, the setup was:
1. AB800 with 7" reflector and 10° grid with purple gel up the back on camera left pointed at the table sweep so that it would create a gradient across the back of the sweep. Didn't work, but still created a nice light purple background.
2. AB800 with small softbox camera right pointed up to the roof to create a fill for the rest of the photo. Initially the softbox was low in front of the bottle but I kept on getting a terrible reflection of the softbox so I had to point the softbox straight up and bounce off the roof of the room. Not ideal, but it kind of did the trick.
3. White 52" reflector standing straight on the right hand side of the table.
4. Large foam core cardboard standing straight on the left hand side of the table.
5. large foam core cardboard held by me just above the camera lens pointing on a 45° angle towards the product for fill on the front.
6. 1/160, f/9 @ 100ISO, Canon 5D Mark II with 100mm Macro L f/2.8 lens.
Post-production was minimal (as it was just a test). Increase in clarity, vibrance and saturation. I think that's it. Took a couple of mins in post-production.
I just recently found some camoflauge hockey tape I had bought a while back (I don't actually play hockey, I just thought the tape looked cool!), and I decided to try it out on a minifig. This is the result of about five minutes of cutting and taping. If I use this in the future, I will definetly add some more detail rather than just having a full body of camo. I think it came out pretty cool.
Testing out the M.Zuiko 7-14mm Pro on a cold morning in Whitehorse. At 7mm, this lens is the equivalent of a 14mm lens on a 35mm camera. That is pretty wide! Here, I shot it wide open at f/2.8 on the OM-D E-M1. It was a very cold morning but the lens performed better than my fingers which rapidly froze up in the chilled air.
In this photo, I am looking across the Yukon River towards downtown Whitehorse. That said, the cold mist rising off the river is obscuring most of what would otherwise be visible on the far side of the water. The moon was huge on this morning and is still visible to the middle right of center despite the 7mm focal length.

Testing Flash - Lounging: Taking inspiration from a new dress, practicing more flash setups. Side lit by 20x120 softboxes with Godox AD200s. 8" reflector with Godox V1p for fill light.

Spot the difference. I use canon's DPP for RAW conversion. I recently saw a comment on dpreview that the use of the digital lens optimiser (DLO) can reduce that bugbear of high mag photography, diffraction softening. This sounded a bit unlikely but I decided to test it on a photograph I had just taken. These are crops from a shot taken with my MPE-65 lens (about double the size of a 100% crop). I processed the images with exactly the same processing in DPP and then photoshop but one of them had DLO applied during the raw processing. Can you see any difference ?
