First test cast and face up! He'll be around 65cm when done. Still debating on casting his hands and forearms before resin rose. He'll be on display there. I'm really pleased with how he's coming along. ❤️❤️
My obligatory shot of the very heavily photographed Alstom Avelia Liberty consist that has been testing on the Northeast Corridor. This was very much a grab shot as I arrived on the platform at Edison, NJ seconds before the train passed.
Amtrak has ordered 28 of these sets to handle the next generation of Acela Express service.
AMTK 2102 Avelia Liberty/Acela Express
A dull miserable 16th May 1984 and a bright looking ex-works 50019 Ramillies rolls into Newcastle with the Doncaster Works test train.
Lockheed Martin F-35A 13-5074 blasts away from Nellis Air Force Base. This aircraft is part of the 422nd Test & Evaluation Squadron based at Nellis.
Aircraft: Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II AF 13-5074/OT.
Location: Cheyenne Avenue, Nellis AFB, near Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
One from last year which never got to see the light of day on here.
A very very lucky catch indeed. Greater Anglia 90008 in its part-refurbished stage pauses in Platform 10 at Crewe Railway Station. This was working TEST, an internal move to and from Crewe Electric Depot. Presume to test electrical equipment.
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....
Projecting “warm up” test patterns onto the Liberty Memorial before the Armistice Day tribute.
Shot handheld at ISO 10,000.

Kentmere Pan 400. Xtol stock, Agfa Compact 935
The Agfa Compact (Optima 935) is a quite rare camera, and even more difficult to find in working conditions so I'm very happy of this finding.
It was the last camera built by Agfa in Germany in 1981
Testing how the film works in the new old camera. Will need to give an extra stop. However, this shot at the winery came out interesting.

After checking the weather for days, on Thursday morning June, 29 I decided to head east as weather forecasts were showing it was the only direction with a chance of good weather.
Riding with me that day was my mother who was visiting for the week and my wife. It was out the door at 5 AM, and eastbound we headed. All week long the smoke from the Canadian wildfires had been chocking out any sun there had been. By Painsville, OH, we were in full sun. We eventually made it to Erie, PA.
With a heads up from a friend, I was informed that even though workers were striking at the Wabtec management would be out testing locomotives and off to the Erie East Commercial test track we headed.
Not long after arriving at the only grade crossing on the test track 4 units made a slow pass eastbound. Knowing it would not be long before they came back west and I set up for this shot.
Heading back west under a heavy load, at slow speed CSXT 7276 a newly rebuilt CW44AC, now a CM44AC leads GECX 2015 & 2014 both ET44AC's, and NS 7635 a ES40DC, back towards the plant.
The three of us hung around for 3 more passes while they kept testing the CSX and NS units as I changed photo angles.
Trying some different color balances. Strobist: AB B1600 with 20 deg. grid from right front, SB 800 with Roscolux Sun filter on the background.
Spanish built Alstom/GM-EMD Colas Class 67 Bo-Bo’s no.67 023 "Stella" leading, with 67 027 "Charlotte" bringing up the rear of the high speed test train, as it passes through Bolton Percy on the ECML.
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.
The diving platform at the end of the pier of the Lake Issyk-Kul beach resort is a great opportunity for young men to show off their diving form. The snow-capped Tien Shan mountains can be seen in the distance.

This was my only test shot before the rain caught up with me.
I have 30 mins to do this and somehow I was rob of that time.
Maybe because frolicking in the fields with a white fabric is not weird enough. Try to imagine it trailing behind as the person runs for cover. Probably the kind where nightmares are made from.
Or maybe because it's a dire reminder that my camera is not waterproof and it had enough adventures these past 224++++ days.
I doubt.
Anyways, this taught me 2 things.
1. You really have no control of the weather whatsoever. (Trust me, I pathetically told the cloud to hold it for another extra 30 mins!!)
2. And always, always treat your test shots as real cause you never know.
You never know.
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.
Metra F59PHi 91 leads the way of a Milwaukee West outbound train as it arrives Itasca, IL.
Last Tuesday's 1Q47 plain line test train is seen at Salterbeck behind 37175.
This was most definitely not the shot I had intended.
I had yet to phot' this particular 37 and knowing it was on the front of this train tempted me out, despite the so-so forecast.
At one point it was running quite early and I arrived at the location in bright sunshine and set up a rather nifty "in the landscape" shot which I hadn't done before.
Unfortunately it then became apparent that the train would end up back in its original path and that's when the cloud started rolling in.
It was then necessary to move closer to the subject as the planned shot wouldn't work in the dull.
Sod's Law that the clouds parted just enough to light the subject as it hoved into view but there was no time to get back to the original spot so I was literally well and truly shafted.
This was the Burton On Trent (Wetmore Sidings) to Carlisle, the point of origin being used in lieu of Derby R.T.C apparently due to ongoing works at the latter.
