First image testing out the Nikon D810. Huge files, so this is way downsized
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 NASAâs 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 ESAâs Maxwell chamber at its technical site in the Netherlands.
Though not an EMC chamber, Plum Brookâs 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.
Orionâs 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.

In 1976, Amtrak tested French and Swedish locomotives on the Northeast Corridor in an attempt to find a replacement for the aging GG-1 locomotives originally built for the Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Swedish model, a R4c locomotive designed by Allmanna Svenska Elektriska Aktiebolaget (ASEA), was designated the X995 during its testing phase. The X995 wears the Amtrak Phase II livery introduced in 1975. EMD eventually built 65 AEM7 motors based on this design and they proved their worth on the Northeast Corridor into the 21st Century.
The test model X995 was approaching Washington Union Station with train 111 at Ivy City, passing an Amtrak P30CH and a Southern E8. Good times in the past.
Not bad for a seven year old, eh?
*I had to do a LOT of tweaking on this as the composition was terrible with lots of foreground clutter.
My first time ever shooting 35mm, back in November of 2016. Taken on my Canon Canonet 28, most likely using expired fujifilm
37610 (with 37116 on the rear) is seen leaving Fort William Yard with the 16:54 test train to Crianlarich. The train reversed in the station with 37116 then leading.
The Cold Chamber in Epcot's Test Track.
Test Track at Epcot theme park is a high-speed vehicle-simulation ride in which big kids, teens and adults test their mettle in one of Disney's longest and fastest rides.
Step into the world of automotive testing as your 6-seat vehicle undergoes the safety and quality tests that General Motors performs on every prototype it manufactures.
As you begin this 5-minute, nearly one-mile auto escapade, strap yourself in, ascend steep terrain that's 3 stories high, then let loose downhill, blasting across a bumpy road and roaring through 50-degree banked curves and hair-pin turns that test suspension and brakes at speeds up to 60 miles per hour!
Zoom into the environmental chamber to endure the extreme heat and cold testsâat temperatures that are 100 degrees apart! Then, see if your vehicle will withstand corrosion when robots mist water upon it. Finally, face the challenge of avoiding a crash barrierâĤ in the nick of time!

Caught at Kenton. The first Class 91 on test with a rake of sleeping cars and HST power car at the rear
I am building four cabinets to go over the miter saw station and I wanted to make sure they would work as intended. So far, so good!!
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!

Hey guys,
I'd like your feedback on these figures and/or background. I'll upload some more test figures tonight and tomorrow, so stay tuned.
Suggestions are welcome!

Initial test of lens adapters, just to make sure that they fit and work with the leses I have. So far so good. I'm sure there will be more playing with lenses in the future.
I'm hoping to do a series of Vintage objects shot with vintage lenses.

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.
