-- Testing this relatively inexpensive Nikon gear by shooting into the sun w/o a hood. The Nikkor-H is the 50mm lens that is a 'hidden gem' -- big quality, low price -- but this one is the predecessor, having fewer elements.
for this photo I put a yellow lamp behind a transparent brick. it was just a simple test for stop-motion.
My new job has me doing some macro work. This was my first foray in this line of photography. Seventy four photos stacked.
What do y'all think?
This is a parting shot and Argosy reality story of Smith Lake, no need for TV tales. Here is the exact shot proving what we found at Smith Lake where we settled to breathe in the fall. We just popped over to the camp and fire ring when we found the ripples left by the Sasquatch startled by our arrival! Usually, ripples mean trout are rising for bugs but there are no fish in this pond. It is not deep and probably freezes solid in winter. What more photographic proof of Sasquatch's existence can possibly be needed? I snapped the bold tones found in the saturated reflections of the rippled pond here in this detail shot. I don't understand why a Sasquatch, covered with such thick hair, would need a camp fire. On the other hand, I do understand why a Sasquatch would find this pool so very inviting and soothing.
Autumn was at it's fall-end struggle at Smith Lake. We mounted yet another foray into the high country on that day past. The pond reflections tolled fall's end near the Great Divide where the Sasquatch likes to bathe. Phil and I were sniffing the perfumes and surrendering to this copse of pond, pine and aspen from the camp at the fire ring, atop the Smith Lake trail off Taylor Mountain Road. We sniffed the pungent odors of the latent Sasquach. We squeezed off Taylor Road to park. The one thing we didn't encounter was Sasquatch himself. We traveled the Peak to Peak Highway north toward Allenspark and turned right onto Taylor Mountain Road. Here, east of Allenspark and west of Taylor Road, we found semi-flat rocks for perches by the oft-used fire ring. You may want to camp here, and why the heck wouldn't you, but beware of the Sasquatch family. It's wise to bring a large supply of M&Ms for them should you want to garner them as friends. Heck, they could carry you back to your car should you twist your ankle. The wagon road through the autumn aspen, over here is nearly apparent but yet requires a degree of imagination.

The wagon road through the autumn aspen, over to here is nearly apparent and skimpy. Egad... Smith Lake, what a spot to get resouled.
Those rocks scattered across the pond propped up the Smith lake terrain and created terrific reflections. Great views abound everywhere along the trek and especially from the camp fire ring, the spot of my accidental pano. Taylor Road is an access to wonderful treks in the high country to magnificent views of much higher country. We are paralleling the Rocky Mountain National Park and Indian Peaks Wilderness Area off to the west. Atop Taylor, one should be able to spot climbers in colorful jackets on their final leg up the south pitch of Longs Peak. Sometimes climbers founder on the big notch between Meeker and Longs and on the ledge traverse around the back of Longs. A fellow recently slipped on ice and met his master there in the last week. That particular master skipped a full level of logic.

Testing of the Class 800 IET units on the ECML is ramping up with regular outings for the new trains.
Full introduction is planned from December this year. For the moment, however, the new trains still have some novelty value.
9 car unit 800101 heads through Sunderland Bridge, south of Durham, with an Edinburgh to Doncaster Carr working.

I have a new toy. A 22inch beauty dish for my bowens.
I was using it to take some shots of a local artist. but as he was trying on his clothes for his shot, Nicky who was helping me jumped in front to test the light for the set up. Trust her. lol. I ended up getting this cracking shot of her. What is she like. lol
Can't wait to use this more. :-)
Strobist info: GM400 using a 22" Beauty Dish @ 1.4 power in front of subject high and facing at 45 degree down to create classic shadowing.
Another test shot from this mornings walk, it was good to see a Painted Lady there, first I've seen on my home patch this season :-)
Testing one, two and now, three.
Radio frequency testing has begun on the first Orion spacecraft that will fly around the Moon for the Artemis 1 mission, just two weeks after thermal and environmental tests were completed at NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Ohio, USA.
Electromagnetic compatibility or EMC testing is routine for spacecraft. All electronics emit some form of electromagnetic waves that can cause interference with other devices. Think of the buzz that speakers give out right before an incoming call on a mobile phone.
Spacecraft electronics can cause similar interference, but out in space such interference can have disastrous consequences, so all systems must be checked before launch.
EMC tests often take place in a special shielded room constructed of metal walls and doors and foamy spikes (aka Absorbers) that block out unwanted external electromagnetic radiation, like ESA’s Maxwell chamber at its technical site in the Netherlands.
Though not an EMC chamber, Plum Brook’s thermal vacuum chamber is made of aluminium that does provide electromagnetic shielding, making it a suitable substitute.
To test electronics, the spacecraft will simulate a flight in realistic conditions with most of its subsystems and equipment powered and in operational mode.
The electronics are first tested for compatibility in this electromagnetic shielded chamber. Equipment will be switched on to test whether they do potentially disturb one another.
In the second round of tests, electromagnetic fields will be applied using antennas around the spacecraft to test the susceptibility to interference from external sources. The Orion capsule is equipped with electromagnetic field sensors to take measurements as the disturbance frequencies are injected into the chamber.
While all subsystems are a potential source of radio frequency noise, of particular interest are the transmitters that intentionally generate radio frequencies. These can easily disturb other equipment sensitive to electromagnetic noise, like GPS receivers, tele-command modules and other communication elements.
Orion’s European Service Module provides power, propulsion, and crew life support.
ESA experts are on site monitoring all tests alongside NASA colleagues as Orion moves closer to its first flight without a crewaround the Moon.

Test the Sony A7m3 with Zeiss FE 55mm F1,8 ZA and Leica V-Lux 5. Both cameras ISO 125 f4 1/125s auto WB - neutral
A test shot of the Brenzier Method outside of my office building. I used a 50mm 1.4 at 1.4. There are 24 shots here stitched together in CS3. I'm gonna try with the 70-200 for the next one.
I just received by mail from Germany a preowned Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM (huh!) objective and wanted to take some test shots outdoors (in spite of the slippery street). Everything seems to be OK.
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 finally had a chance to get out and test the D810 with a long exposure. I like the result so far over the D600. This is full resolution for your viewing pleasure. Yes, I did some post = Contrast/highlights and Noise reduction. - but not much. The images that come out of the D810 are pretty clean to begin with.
I used a Samyang 14mm f/2.8 for the shot.
I processed this from the original .jpg that came out of the cam. When I received this cam there was no way to process RAW.
