Testing out my new DIY beauty dish which I made following the instructions here: ishootshows.com/2010/02/09/music-photographers-diy-beauty...
Seems to work really well and it's more efficient than I had expected.
Also testing out my new Pentax 40mm ltd lens and it's better than I had initially thought. Sharp as a tack. Shot at f5.6 for maximum sharpness.

First attempt with this lens. 2010-07-22. Sinar Norma with Homemade Petzval-type lens, Aviar doublet and +3 meniscus 220mm F/5.6 lens 1s at F/5.6, EV=9.5 at 100ISO. Kentmere VC Select at ISO6 in R09 1+80, 3-5mins at 20C. Invert colours, curves, spotting, The Gimp.
I've been trying to get the Petzval swirly bokeh in a homemade lens for a bit. Looks like I am close at last... more tests at the weekend.
Another of my usual test shots, a house entrance of a Victorian house near Buena Vista Park in San Francisco.

Last year it seemed like everyone and their mom's was trying out for Adventure Time (my favorite cartoon) and I was no exception. Obviously, I didn't make the cut but I thought I'd post my boards. If you look at this one in the slideshow view it's more fun to cycle through.

Bientôt, je vais recevoir deux petits garçons, alors du coup je teste leurs wigs sur Sollie :)

Soon, I'll receive two little boys, so I test their wigs on Sollie :)
switched to my 28-300mm; the best view of the curve to the west was from some distance down the platform and I wanted a better reach than my stalwart 18-200mm provides. I gave it a try on the next express that happened by.

This test piece for Haeger Potteries features an alien-esque crackled yellow-green glaze. It came out of the Haeger factory during their final liquidation after closing in the summer of 2016. The bottom includes a Haeger stamp and some codes in pencil.
One of the smaller-massive testing facilities at NASA Goddard in Greenbelt, MD.
When acoustics testing occurs, the entire area needs to be evacuated otherwise people will be injured, despite the 2' thick doors. Apparently this room can simulate the decibel level of lift-off.

Testing Kenko extension tube set. MacBook in front of the camera, Nikon D60 + Tamron AF 18-200mm + Kenko extension tube set attached to Slik U2000 tripod.
Testing a broken Nikon D600 with honking large zoom lens. The AF is broken, the body casting is damaged and the bayonet mount as well. Still, I can focus manually, with some steadiness and praying my weaker eyes don't fail me. LOL!

Elinchrom Skyport Universal test:
I placed 2 Canon flashes with 2 Elinchrom Skyport receivers in a house in front of mine and then made them fire from a distance of about 100/150m.
One was in the balcony, in direct sight, the other was inside the apartment, completely out of sight.
Remarkably also the flash positioned inside the apartment fired.
They work.
