37418 approaching Crewe with a Derby RTC - Holyhead - Derby test train. 37421 was bringing up the rear. That Gorse bush is obviously hard as nails, still flowering after days of near freezing conditions. 12th February 2021.
But damn there is camera shake with a heavy lens like this one!
75-300mm given to me by a friend... claims it doesn't work, apparently on AF. Hey, use MF!!!

忍 受 試 探 的 人 是 有 福 的 ． 因 為 他 經 過 試 驗 以 後 、 必 得 生 命 的 冠 冕 、 這 是 主 應 許 給 那 些 愛 他 之 人 的 。｜聖經 雅各[1:12]
Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.｜ James [1:12]
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.

this morning, I made some digital test shots exploring the possibilities that exist within the idea of artistic blur. here is one... I plan to make some of these on film in the near future.

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.
After trading places a few days before with BMEX 259, RPRX 2010 finally hits the main line performing some tests that will possibly lead to the Union Railroad buy some gensets. Here 2010 leads a train of 10 slabs past the class yard bound for Irvin, the 259 struggled up the grades in the Mon Valley with only 7 slabs, the 2010 on the other hand handled the train with no problem.
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....
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

Just testing the different lenses (cameras) on the tired old S10+ to decide if it needs replacement. "Not yet" - is my verdict, having seen samples form latest models. Little progress in flagship phones in 2 years :(
