Finally, I got a Pentax K 50/1.2 which I am testing at the moment. The light in this one was offered by a small lamp (40 watts) which is directed against a wall on the other side of the room... ;) The DOF is rrrrrreally small and I think it'll take a couple of shots until I am comfortable with it's fokussing.

Testing the new Canon 7DmkII at night with higher ISO.
I thought I'd give a demo of the standard vignette on the new 16-35 F4 IS L. In direct comparison to the 17-40 L which I also have, the vignette seems to be worse at first glance (back of camera) on the newer lens. However, once on screen, you can see that the newer lens is no worse at the corners than the old, and a big improvement towards the middle.
Once Lightroom releases a lens correction profile for the 16-35 F4 IS L, it should be great, as the new glass is definitely sharper, and the IS is massively useful in my opinion.
On a telephoto with IS, you're looking to get a shot with your aperture wide open, and the IS allows you to shoot at 1/30-1/100th all day. The huge benefit with IS on a wide angle for me, is that now, even though I could always hand hold at 1/15th, I can now crank up my aperture and get an even sharper image.
Overall thoroughly happy with my new glass... anyone want to buy a well loved Canon 17-40mm F4 L ?! hehe.
I was never really one for sun-worship, even when I was young. When I saw lines of tanned bodies frying slowly on a beach it looked a very boring way to spend time. But when I arrived in Sweden, I discovered another form of sun worship. This took place in winter on cold sunny days. You wrapped up very warmly and sat or stood against a wall, with the sun shining onto your face. No risk of getting burned but a gentle warmth spreading over your face. It feels wonderful. And this is how we started our day, outside the house on our bench for ten minutes in the sun.
We couldn’t stay longer because we had a time booked in town for our Covid tests. We were feeling no better but no worse either than we had over the weekend but it felt good to be checking. We arrived at the appointed carpark at the appointed time and joined a short queue of cars. After a couple of minutes a young guy with a misted-up visor took our ID cards and returned them together with a testing kit. We parked the car, read and followed the instructions and when we were done turned on the hazard warning lights to tell him we were done. After a while he walked the line of cars with a shopping basket, into which we dropped our sealed plastic bags. We should get the result in 48 hours.
It still being so sunny it felt wrong to just drive home and vegetate, so we drove to Smitingen beach and walked down to the sea and back, pausing to take pictures, one of which Jan is blipping. Driving back through town we noticed the North Sound was frozen so we parked up in a sort of mini industrial estate and I walked between the building to a piece of wasteland looking over the sea. As you can see the water is a mish-mash of broken ice-floes, mixed in with small ice fragments and all frozen together. Too rough for skiing or skating or walking, even if I knew it was strong enough, which I don’t. There are some extra broken bits a bit offshore where a ship has pushed its way in to the quayside. No ice-breakers needed yet. I took a few pictures and walked the 50 meters back to the car, where Jan was waiting. (Exercise today - walked 900 meters!)
On the left is the deep-water harbour, still filled with wind-turbine bits, on the right the northern part of town, and between them the sea in the form of the North Sound.
Then it was home, where Jan found a little energy for a short online meeting and even did some yoga, but I just vegetated. My evening routine seems to be a little TV and then bed. I’m grateful we are both sleeping well. If I have to get a bug then this one seems to be treating me fairly gently so far.

16 LEDs to show status on one channel of the Centipede Shield. So far they all seem to work...now, what application would be good for 64 outputs, or 64 inputs, or any mix of inputs and outputs?

Dyslexia Test - dynaread.com/dyslexia-tests Our dyslexia test is progressive. We collect over 90 different measurements. It does not really matter if the child completed the entire test or not. What we are looking for is the point at which we note that performance is failing. That is where we terminate the test. This approach makes our test as short and enjoyable for your child as possible. www.dynaread.com
Testing a new pattern design. I'm still pretty new to repeating patterns, this one is experimenting with diamonds.

A random salvaged stepper motor running. USB powered msp430 Launchpad, ULN2003AN with separate power supply. Sounds smoothest at about 3-4 V motor power. Might have to do with current capacity. 3.3 V controller with 2003 isn't an ideal match, but works for low current quick and dirty prototype.

"Dirty Harry" Contaminates St. George, Utah
On May 19, 1953, a 32-kiloton nuclear test, later dubbed "Dirty Harry," was fired at the Nevada Test Site. The fallout progressed between Alamo and Glendale, Nevada, as predicted. Roadblocks were in place along highways and inhabitants had been moved temporarily away from the fallout path. Surface winds from northern Arizona blew the airborne debris further north than expected. When radiation levels in St. George started to rise higher than anticipated, the sheriff was notified and advised to order the 4,500 residents to stay indoors for two hours. The radiation monitors stationed there helped direct the residents indoors
