The freight-only Coalville Line crosses the busy A42 Trunk Road at New Packington, on the outskirts of Ashby de la Zouch. On 4th December 2018, 1Q48 Derby RTC - Tyseley LMD passes over the dual carriageway, headed by Colas Rail Freight Class 37 No. 37116, with classmate No. 37219 (out of picture) at the rear. The sight of someone on the over bridge pointing a big lens in their direction must have been a little unnerving for some of the drivers heading south on the A42, but those having seen the test train would have probably twigged that the camera was no speed gun!

Honeywell's Boeing 757, N757HW heading off to Vienna after a short stop. Built in 1983 for Eastern Airlines as N504EA, it then spent 10 years from 1995 to 2005 flying for Airtours/My Travel in the UK as G-JALC, this machine is one of the oldest 757s (l/n 5) still flying.

i volunteered to run a droplet setup at next week's camera club workshop - had to run a few tests to make sure i still knew vaguely how to shoot 'em...
Heads up to stencillista for the inspiration and technique ( I completely stole his everything)
colours a bit too bright. going to tone them down maybe do vans in different tones of the same colour
From this past weekend's test shoot, just a quick export without any serious editing. This was my first real shoot with the Nikon D300 - so far I'm much happier with the color response than I've been with previous bodies.
Lighting was a single Profoto Acute2 head in a Mola Demi beauty dish, feathered forward to even out the coverage.
You dont alway see a SOQ set running towards Brisbane but on a Sunday but on this day the SOQ set had been running a series of test north of Caboolture and is seen here heading back to Mayne.
this is one of my first tests at a real holga pano. my arms totally fell asleep while shooting this- even though i was using a mini tripod and shutter release cable mod. LOL. four shots at about 1.5 minutes per exposure.
i might post another pano test or two... if there is any interest.
Testing out lighting with Vidarr during our first meeting. We did a shoot yesterday! w00t!
Two pics already posted :
I built a car for my Crash Test Dummy; heavily inspired [color-wise, anyway] by one from the Test Track queue. This was another quick build [an all-nighter] between larger projects.
Check out all of the pictures at MOCpages.
this performance takes a chinese gymnast up into the rafters; timing and concentration appear to be as important as strength.
Test sewing for dynamite dollfie dream body ^^ still gotta work out the kinks with the groin part ^^;
It is as I had feared. When I shot the first test roll and heard and felt the grinding of the mechanisms inside the camera body, which gave me the distinct impression of wanting to be left alone to die in peace, I thought "Oy vey. This is not a good thing."
And when I saw the scans of the processed film and saw that the film transport apparently doesn't work reliably after the 24th shot or so, I shook my head in dismay and thought: "This is definitely not a good thing."
But then I took a good look at those shots that had come out well, I sat down heavily, in amazement and I thought: "Cor. This is a good thing."
Sharpness, contrast, colour rendering, creamy bokeh, it's all there.
So, now what? I think I can work around that film transport problem by just using 24 exposure rolls, if I can confirm that the problem will turn up only if the wound up roll is too thick.
By the way, a Contarex Special with a Planar 1:2 50mm lens was what astronaut Ed White used during his EVA on the Gemini IV flight in June 1965.
Camera: Zeiss Ikon Contarex Spezial (built between 1960 and 1963)
Lens: Carl Zeiss Planar 1:2 50mm Contarex Mount

First one of 2012 testing the waters a bit with this one, this spot has been going since the 80's but is that temperamental it's untrue. After finding out the Copperworks is going its time to visit an old friend. Always love this spot trackside high smooth walls. Wanted to paint something a bit more special today but still had a good one.
