The best way to take a picture of something as ugly as the millennium dome is to cover it up as much as possible.

This B Series Leyland National was new as a Leyland development vehicle in 1978 and remained unregistered for over a year, it never leaving the confines of the Lillyhall factory.
It passed to Ribble once Leyland had finished with it and became their 686 and as it had never ventured on a public highway it gained a 'V' suffix registration.

The ZIS 110 Series was in principle based on the 1942 Packard Super Eight 180 series.
The development of the successor of the ZIS 101 series started in 1942. Because the Sovjet Union joined the allied forces against Nazi-Germany since 1942, the Sovjets gained access to Western industry and technics. Machinery could be taken over from Packard because production of civil cars stopped in 1942.
The first 110 prototype was ready in July 1945. There were some style differences with the Packard example, like the absence of the running board, and the wrap around chrome strips on the front wings.
ZIS means Zavod Imini Stalina, or Stalin factory. After the death of Josef Stalin (1878-1953) this name stayed till 1956, when Russian contemporary history was suddenly regarded differently. The brand name was replaced by ZIL, after Ivan Likhachov (1896-1956). He was an important director of the ZIS factory.
The ZIS 110 was mainly used for official occasions, and by head of states from Russian allied countries.

heuer microsplit LED / LCD 1/100-stopwatch development (from left): ref. HL 820 (1973) - ref. 520 (1974, this one is a ref. 530) - ref. 320 (1975) - ref. 370 (1976).
the development can see as a revolution. the size is always getting smaller, also the batterys (from 4 x AAA to 2 x LR1130 - some specials-models with accus)
> the first microsplit was designed inhouse, the other ones by richard sapper.
> the first two models are with split- and taylor-function, the following models only with split-function.
from the ref. 820 you get ref. 802 with 1/10 s. from the ref. 520 there are also models with 1/100 min. or 1/100 h. the ref. 320 has a following model in plastic (also without split-function), who endet up as a solar-model (also to TAGheuer) in diverse colours. the ref. 370 you can have with silver body und black strap.
I've been searching the last two years a way to turn digital raw into pastel like Fujifilm 400H Pro colors.
I've failed a million times and thought that it's impossible since film reacts to light differently each time vs. digital sensor.
I've come close, but the results vary between lighting situations from bad to excellent. But now I've really cracked something cool.
This particular preset + method editing 8bit jpg (now raw) has been revolutionary discovery. I've gotten excellent results every time and the pictures are always blooming with bright pastel like colors.
I'm about to write this to my blog and release this updated 400H preset in the next few days.
Grand Union Canal, Boxmoor. Formerly the Grand Junction Canal, it was renamed in 1929 after the merger with the Regents Canal. It passes through Apsley and Boxmoor, the Fishery Inn at the latter has been a local institution since at least 1839. The nearby lake is often thought to be part of the canal's development but was created from redeveloped watercress beds. The land was purchased by local residents, to prevent development, and was excavated in the late 1970s for use as a trout fishing lake.

Paper: Southworth Parchment Deed (old stock)
Iodiser: Le Gray / Pelegry (no whey, just lactose)
Sensitiser: Le Gray. 7% Silver, 7% Acetic
Washed for five minutes, dried, then exposed.
Exposure: 10.5 minutes @ f/3.7, EV 9 (dark, overcast, indoors)
Development: immersed for ~ 40 seconds in Ferrous Sulphate developer.
Ferrous Sulphate__ 6.8g
Glacial acetic acid__ 12ml
Distilled water ____ 200ml
washed for ten minutes, then fixed in a 9% solution of anhydrous hypo.
Observations: Iron development was rapid, but produced a weak image. The negative was floated image side down, then flipped and rocked to immerse. All details were out by 30 seconds, then nothing seemed to change, so I removed the paper for fear of fogging. Of the the three papers tested, this was the strongest. Mars Vellum and Canson Marker developed in under a minute, but the details were barely discernible. I made an attempt at intensification by adding aceto-nitrate to the developer, but this was a mistake. Within about a minute, the silver had precipitated out of the developer, resulting in a fogged negative (canson).
For my next test, I will reduce the wash time to two minutes after sensitising. I will also test an unwashed sheet.
