The handsome Usher Hall: like concert venues up and down the land and across the globe, it has been shut for almost a full year now. Walking past during the recent snows, I noticed it was open again - as a Covid testing centre. The nearby international conference centre is meanwhile being used as a vaccination centre.It makes sense, these places have been empty, they are designed to handle a large volume of people, have lots of space etc. Like everyone though I do wonder when we will get to use them again as actual venues....
Photographing a Test Train on HS1 in any kind of light is a hard thing to do. Eurotunnel have the contract to haul them with their Krupps Locomotives and they always go out at night after the last Eurostar and are back home before daylight. This one was booked back at D Moor at 0447 but I watched it on RTT during the night and it was running 30 minutes late which meant its seen here about 0510 in the morning with just enough light amongst the mist to record 0004 & 0003 on the 2312 D Moor to D Moor test train with it running up to Stratford International twice up HS1.Seen here dropping down the Freight Chord to D Moor at the end of its long night.
Testing out a homemade macro lens. Used a technique that lindseynaima (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lindseynaima/) was gracious enough to share. These flowers are about an inch wide, if that. I put the elements on a 18-35mm lens for this shot.
Quando si dice "testa di cavolo" a qualcuno per offenderlo forse dovremmo pensarci bene; il cavolo ha un sacco di effetti benefici per la salute.

Per saperne ancora di più (qui la descrizione sarebbe lunghissima) vi consiglio il libro di Jean Valnet* "Cura delle malattie con ortaggi, frutta, cereali."
*Jean Valnet (1920 - 1995) padre della Fitoaromaterapia Moderna, medico e chirurgo militare, nel 1948 ha ridefinito in modo più specifico e scientifico i trattamenti naturali, determinado scientificamente il potere curativo degli oli essenziali. Fondatore della Società Francese di Fitoterapia e Aromaterapia, Valnet, con i suoi studi e la sua attività ha notevolmente contribuito a riscoprire le proprietà di moltissime piante.
I took this as a test shot in our local Jessops (New Road store) in Milton Keynes using a Lumix GF3 to try out the Lumix G 20/F1.7 lens - I thought it was kind of cool :)
sorry I'm behind again - trying to catch up this weekend :)

A taxi driver breaks into my frame.
The first impression of this classic lens is outperformed most modern lenses, in terms of B/W photography. The black and white tonality is pleasant and well-balanced.
It's very sensitive to the light source against available lights in the scenes. It seems that the Leica has done the right thing at the beginning and it's brilliant.
The contrast is smooth when the light source is on average level. And the rendition outcome changed dramatically while the lens engaged a scene like this but still a very classic high contrast image.

The Summicron M-bayonet 50mm f/2 Rigid Type II(SOMNI 11918) could be the most versatile lens while comparing with 50 AA and 50 Elcan according to the HORATIO TAN@STREET SILHOUETTES.
In the meanwhile, people often suggested that the M-bayonet 50mm f/2 Rigid Type II(SOSIC 11818) is much better than SOMNI 11918. But my understanding is that either SOSTA, SOMNI or SOSIC are all sharing the same optical design with 3 LaK9 elements. Perhaps the coating might be different?

Ultimately, this was just a test shot with my new Canon 90D in order to configure with ISO settings and all that in low light to dark conditions based on how the camera would perform under such circumstances. Not too bad and a vast improvement compared to the Canon T3.

Another test from the other night, will be doing my first real shoot on the backdrop tomorrow, should be interesting!
Test shot of my cellular phone "SoftBank 912T by Toshiba".
This situation may be hard to take photo by phone camera.
But it gave me a nice result.
Testing some newly wired up LEDs in the Hall grounds with Von Lodz as the model. Odd how nobody came over to ask what we were doing. It was almost as if they thought we were peculiar folk up to dubious shenanigans.
To prove I'm not a *total* sooc snob, this one has been RAW converted.

Just a casual walk in my hometown Eskilstuna, Sweden, in order to try the new Nikon D7500 that I had bought.
Substantially enlarged from the original RAW image and resized with ON1 2023 AI Resize. i am very pleased and impressed with the result.
