The Moulton Bicycle Company has a custom-built cycle test-track located in the grounds of 'The Hall' in Bradford on Avon.
The Hall is the home of the late Alex Moulton (1920 - 2012) and where the Moulton Bicycle Company is based.
As seen through my new macro lens, this is the test (calcium carbonate structural shell) of a small sea urchin that was unknown to science until one was purchased on eBay in 2006 and subesqently described by Natural History Museum scientists Simon Coppard and Heinke Schultz. I bought this test on eBay right around that time, unaware of this fact.
::::::::::::::::
Sea urchins are members of the phylum Echinodermata, which also includes sea stars, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, and crinoids. Like other echinoderms they have fivefold symmetry (called pentamerism) and a mouth locatted ventrally. This species is from New Caledonia, and this particular test is about 1.6cm wide.
Alternative Photo a Day -one of the first shots using my new camera and Lightroom upgrade . I had no idea that I'd set the ISO so high lol!
NAWCAD Trenton, located in Mercer County, New Jersey, consists of about 66 acres with a total of 96 buildings and structures. The center was used to test jet engines, alternative fuels, turbines, and engine starters.
The main "hangar" at NAWCAD. Im not exactly sure what this building was used for but there are slots in the ground about a foot deep and there are spikes and stands that stick out of them. It looks like you would brace something on top of them. You can see the slots better in this picture.
All the parts of the system are now connected. The initial tests were done with the valves removed and a voltmeter used to check that the HT and LT voltages appeared on the right pins. Since they did, the valves could be safely fitted.
The amplifier seems to work, touching the input connection with a screwdriver blade produces noise in the earphone. But the microphone doesn't do anything.
A toy? Not really, this lens can really deliver amazingly sharp results!
--- Lessons learned:
+ best way to get the grips is to use the lens with the cam (in liveview) tethered to a tv set via DVI
+ the lens should not be used on maximum tilt -- you cannot get sharp results with this adjustment
+ the two lenses in the Lensbaby are not coated, backlight will lead to overlit blurry results ...
+ This is a 50 mm lens, minimum object distance is approx 0,6 meters ...
+ shots were take with the 4.0 aperture, ... 5.6 has a wider sweet spot, but less wow effect
+ works fine in Av-Mode
--- This is how focusing works:
Point the optical axis of the lens **exactly** towards the spot you want to focus; adjust focus ring - if possible in zoomed liveview mode.
--- This is how it not works:
Leave the lens as-is (no tilting); try to focus on an object in the corner of the image via turning the focusing wheel.
--- One problem I came across:
The 5DMkII works fine with this lens in Av mode, even better with additional liveview, but does *not* adjust exposure in *zoomed* liveview! => Firstly wait for exposure adjustment, then zoom in, adjust focus, if possible, zoom out again, shoot. :-)

I decided to see what I could do with a test answer sheet after I had to take the SAT today. I was playing with the focus points in these shots.
Photos here were shot using old Canon FL/FD lenses mounted onto the new compact mirrorless full frame Sony Alpha A7 released on November 13, 2013 in Japan. The lenses are all manual focus due to the fact they are old legacy prime lenses. The Canon lenses used for this test:
FD 35mm, f2
FL 50mm, f1.4
FD 135mm, f3.5
FD 135mm, f3.5 (with PL filter)
This photo was taken using the portrait focal length, FD 135mm, f3.5 lens.

Test of an inexpensive Neewer LED Macro Ring Flash FC100. The subject is about 3cm across and is a tricky one - shiny brass. At this distance the flash works well with a shutter speed of 1/160th, f8, ISO 200 but the flash lacks power. If I move away to a distance of half a metre I can't get a decent shot at ISO 200 even at f2.8, the flash isn't powerful enough. But for the money it's very good for real macro work.

Tested these brands and some more. Will need some time to round up the results...
Too many things too do, too little time.

I just wanted to see what the capabilities of the different cameras we have here at home are like.
First is the camcorder from 2004, a Canon ZR85, in the middle is the Canon Powershot A620 from 2005, and last is the 2008 Samsung NV24HD.
I was a little surprised just how bad the Samsung did in this test, and how well the Camcorder did. I really can't get over the amount of detail it pulled out at high zoom. I think the optics, certainly more designed for zoom than wide angles, must have more to do with it than the digital sensor, which just doesn't give very good quality images or videos, otherwise.
The camcorder has taken maybe 30 hours of video in its lifetime, and maybe 100 still photos, the A620 has taken well over 200,000 photos, mostly failed nighttime timelapses with chdk, and the Samsung hasn't taken more than a thousand shots, but if you want a truly pocket-sized camera that can take an interior shot, or a high definition video, without having to ask everybody to keep backing up, and standing closer together, the 24mm-wide (equivalent) lens on the Samsung is the only way to go, and its video quality is actually superior than the camcorder, at least it seems like it on a TV screen.
Too bad she-who-used-to-be-obeyed will be taking it with her when she goes.
Test Roll of Lomography CN 400 in my new Lomogrpahy Konstruktor DIY SLR.
Overall the pictures are okay. I don't think I'd be using it that often, the 1/80 shutter speed is just a bit too slow unless you stop and stand still.
Also it likes to eat film.
A Bristol Siddeley-Maybach MD655 engine, from a BR Western Region Class 52 diesel-hydraulic locomotive, under stationary test at Swindon Works. Taken on an open day, Saturday 13th September 1975. The engineer in charge ...a white-coated, bespectacled, middle-aged man... sat behind the window of a control room at the top of a flight of steps. From time to time he would notch up a handle on his console to increase the engine revs, which were displayed as flickering red numerals on a screen. In the confined space this produced a most satisfying din.
