Little Dragon - Test

Testing what may be my new camera once my back is sufficiently recovered to carry a backpack again, hopefully in the new year. As you would expect, I’ve carried out a rigorous, highly scientific test:

 

1. Can I carry it? Yes, all the way to the garden, no problem at all.

2. Does it fit in my pack? Probably. It’s around here somewhere.

3. Will it focus close enough to photograph a small pile of frosty leaves? Yes.

4. Are said leaves sharp? I should say so.

5. Will it photograph other stuff? I don’t see why not.

6. Have I comprehensively compared it to other cameras? Not really. I like this one.

7. Was it an impulse Black Friday buy? Maybe. I don’t see what that’s got to do with it.

8. Have you told the wife? No need. She can’t tell it apart from the old one.

9. So that’s that then? Yep. Proper job.

We went through some things I'd like to try ...

and then she said enough!

 

We took a much needed time out from the preparations to sit in the garden and have a Miller Lite together.

Dans cette situation, le véhicule de droite roule à la même vitesse que moi, je dois :

b : Me mettre à sa hauteur et lui dire bonjour.

c : Ne pas prendre de photos en conduisant.

d : Faire des appels de phares.

Direct Rail Services Class 37/4, "Carl Haviland 1954-2012" - on hire to Colas Rail Freight due to a shortage of their own 37s - leads an Ultrasonic Test Unit (UTU) through Goostrey running as 3Q81 23:48 Crewe Carriage Sidings L&NWR Site to Derby RTC.

These are test photos taken on my new camera, a Pentax K5 II shot moments ago. Having had a Pentax K-x for a few years now the contact points are so intuitive, the ergonomics being perfect. Feeling very sturdy which is important to me as I have a slight shake, it feels so good in the hand. Operation is faultless, sharp, fast focusing and the metering functions are instantly accessible and usable. Combine this with full weather proofing on both camera and lenses makes everything about this camera right! "I BLOODY LOVE IT"

Testing and loving looks synonymous now, at least to me.

A recent addition to the Colas fleet, ex DRS tractor 37612, together with 37421 form the motive power for the 10.49 Burton - Carlisle test train, heading north past the Lancaster Canal at Catterall on Tues 31st July 2018.

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.

is this thing on?

 

The gleaners at ReclaimIt! picked an Polaroid 600 AF camera out of the dump transfer station.

It included a loaded pack of old Polaroid film, the vintage stuff.

Anyway, I checked it out, batteries dead in the film pack, so I loaded a fresh fresh pack and tested it out. While there is some cosmetic damage, it works quite well.

Once I finish with the current pack I'll suggest a bargain price of $25.

And I hope to use the old film by loading it in a used cassette with still good batteries.

 

The subject here is a Mugo Pine forest bonsai on a rock slab. Planted earlier this year.

I just received by mail a preowned Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM (huh!) objective and wanted to take some test shots (in spite of the slippery street). Everything seems to be OK.
