Another elements that will be used in the series Test Drive. Really not much to say about this -- tachometer, shot at night. I really like the glow off the dashboard.

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.
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.
John Deere 8360RT (lead tractor) under test at the University of Nebraska Tractor Test Laboratory. The instrumentation vehicle (yellow) and following tractor provide loading for the test. Part of the test involves multiple laps around the lab's concrete oval track. I took this photo while visiting the Lester F. Larsen Tractor Test and Power Museum in Lincoln Nebraska. tractormuseum.unl.edu/
Ricoh TLS 401, Fuji Superia 400 (accidentally shot at 200. Oops!), Auto Sears 55/1.4 w/ Camron UV filter. Negatives Scanned.
Test roll through the camera body that apparently has seen no use since 1984. The meter doesn't work, so I used the LightMeter app by David Quiles Amat on my Galaxy Note II.
Disclaimer in regard to focus: WOW this thing's viewfinder is terrible. The waist-level finder is OK, but small. The eye-level finder is practically impossible, plus mine is cracked and filthy inside... Just crossed my fingers and fired the shutter.

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.
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. :-)
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.
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.
The "Lock Up The Year" Royal Canal Trail Marathon was held on the banks of the Royal Canal from Moyvalley, Co. Kildare to Leixlip, Co. Kildare on Tuesday 31st December 2012 at 09:00. The race started at Furey's Pub at Moyvalley (goo.gl/maps/3pqhF) and proceeded westwards to Blackshade bridge (goo.gl/maps/4yVNI) where the race turned around and then the route was direct back to Leixlip. The running route followed the Royal Canal Way from start to finish. There was also the option of a 1/2 marathon (from Cloncurry Bridge near Enfield) and a 10KM distance from The Maws at Kilcock. This event is made possible through the cooperation of East Of Ireland Marathons and Jarlath B. Hynes and Brendan Murphy from Leixlip, Co. Kildare (see a Facebook group page here www.facebook.com/groups/524790427539290/?fref=ts). The key aspect of this run is that they are three races are informal and self supported runs along on the Royal Canal Way trail. There is no chip timing, water stops, marshals, massages, t-shirts or prizes. But it ise an enjoyable run along the Royal Canal and a chance to meet up with fellow runners during the race and then after it at the Le Cheile clubhouse in Leixlip. There are some nice numbers for the race today. 26.2 miles, 2 counties, 5 traversals in and out of Meath and Kildare, crossing 6 roads, and passing under 5 bridges before the finish outside the Leixlip amenities center.
Due to recent heavy rains the canal towpath (particularly between Cloncurry and Kilcock) was very wet and muddy and proved difficult and testing terrain for all of the runners. However despite a strong breeze at a few sections the weather was bright and dry and made for good running conditions.
This photograph is part of a larger set of photographs taken of the event(s) today. They are all available for viewing in this Flickr set. www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157639233559965
The Royal Canal is a very special piece of Irish Heritage. It's waterway channel and it's banks have seen much history with both the rise and subsequent decline in railway and canal travel and transportation. Our run on the Royal Canal is made possible by the incredible hard and dilligent work by the Inland Waterways of Ireland and countless volunteer individuals who turned their vision of a restored Royal Canal into reality.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
Test rig for a raising/lowering 'boarding ramp' for a large vehicle. This is in its current fully lowered position. To see it is action go to www.flickr.com/photos/karenleahquinn/5221062074/in/photos...
Tested these brands and some more. Will need some time to round up the results...
Too many things too do, too little time.

Test nouveau smartphone en faible luminosité. Les ombres et lumières sont bien définies, les ISO vraiment bien gérés par l'électronique. Je suis vraiment surpris par la qualité.
A tester en journée ☺️
This is a composite iPhone photo and editing test.
The TOP image is the original iPhone image, and it is typically noisy (view full size to see noise level).
The MIDDLE was edited (levels, color balance) on the iPhone using Photogene iPhone app and still presents the same amount of noise.
The THIRD photo took the previous, Photogene altered image and, using Photoshop, ran a Reduce Noise filter with heavy settings, then doubled the image, blurred the top layer and set it to 'overlay mode' at 66% opacity. This is a pretty common method for making better, softer, smoky images. A much more rich, deep result.
iPhone image editing apps should consider adding noise reduction and automating some of the more common image enhancement tricks beyond just levels, even if they disguise it and call it something else.

Finally, one of the best ways to improve photos on the iPhone is to use an app that looks at the accelerometer to determine when you are moving the least. Try Steadycam. I use it instead of the built-in photo app.
