Close up of 50910 from unit 180110, which suffered a technical problem between Knebworth & Welwyn North, requiring the attendance of the emergency services.
There is a 45mm f/1.8 lens from Olympus, supposed to be tack sharp and great for portraits and general shooting that one can do with a moderate telephoto, as it has a 90mm field of view in 35mm camera terms. So today I took my Panasonic 45-175mm lens to the conservatory and kept it almost always at the short end, and will go over the shots in the near future. But they are mostly flowers and such, and if I got the lens it woud be for people. Which brings me to these two. They were wandering around enjoying the place, and he took her picture in some places that were much more scenic than this, using his iphone. So I took the phone and shot them with it so they could both be in the shots, and a bit later asked if they would be my test humans and took these two shots. Which are not lined up well or anything, and are not as creamy of background as the portrait lens would be, but gives me an idea how it would be to shoot people at that focal length.
The 45mm 1.8 is one of two lenses folks think are must have for the system. The other is the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 pancake lens. More than one person has said they would rather have a cheaper earlier generation camera and both lenses than the most modern one if it meant they could only afford one lens.
If you look at the cat shot next to this, that was shot with a differnent zoom at 19mm, so that is pretty close to the other "must have" lens. Both with M4/3's. Cat Olympus lens and camera, people with Panasonic stuff. Such fun.
Let’s get a little technical for a moment...
Finally, after many months of frustrating times without any neutral density filters, I decided to purchase what I thought would be a good investment. I bought the ‘Tiffen GND 0.6 glass filter’ and the ‘B+W 110 ND 3.0 filter’ (basically a big stopper in screw-on filter form just for kicks). After a couple of experiences using these filters together and by themselves, I will most likely be returning both of them. I knew that screw in filters were not ideal, but due to the price and size of other filters (LEE, Singhray, ext…) I thought it would be a better choice for my needs (mainly backpacking and hiking where every ounce counts). Here were my major issues:
Vignetting – Both filters put a huge amount of vignetting on all 4 corners of my Nikkor 24-70 lens. So much that it is not a ‘quick fix’ in PS.
Focus – In order to use the B+W 110, you must focus the lens on your subject and then screw the filter on the lens. Once the filter is on, you can’t see a thing through the viewfinder. If you want to change the view or your subject moves, you have to unscrew the filter, refocus the lens, then screw the filter back on. This doesn’t sound like a pain but trust me, this is a major pain!
GND Control- With the graduated neutral density filter I bought, as with any screw-on graduated neutral density filter, what you see is what you get. There is no way to shift this filter up or down, like LEE filters, and you are forced to use this filter as is. This puts a damper on your images as the horizon will most likely always be in the center.
After all is said and done, maybe it's worth saving up for the expensive filters… Any other ideas out there?
Thanks for looking!

The inaugural Saturday Social last Saturday 18th August at Cathays Social Club.
I played the opening set between 19.30 to 20.30 where not a soul danced but as soon as I'd finished my set, everyone was lubricated enough to venture onto the dancefloor.
Gareth the organiser has only just invited me to play the next one which falls on September the 15th, he's also offered me a later slot so that may be a challenge to get folk dancing.
If you use Facebook, the events page is here . If you don't have a facebook account and still want to keep up with it, I will be posting and tweeting the details of the next one as it gets closer.
For those that don't know,

History and Collection of the German goldsmith house
History
The German Goldsmiths' House at the Old Town Market (Altstädter Markt) is historically one of the most significant buildings in the old town of Hanau and initially served as a town hall.
1537/38, at the time of the late Renaissance, was began with the construction of the building. With the establishment of the Hanau Neustadt 1597, Dutch and Walloons settled which included numerous goldsmiths.
They joined together in 1610 to the guild of gold and silversmiths and thus originated the heyday of the goldsmith's art in Hanau in the second half of the 18th Century.
In this development was the in 1772 founded "Hanauischen Academy of Drawing" not least involved, which provided them with a qualified education for gold and silversmith. Yet In 1900, the use of the goldsmiths house as the city hall was abandoned and the Hanau Historical Association established a museum on local history.
Its current role as German Goldsmiths' House it owes the building the Berlin jeweler and goldsmith Ferdinand Richard Wilm (1880-1971). Already in 1932 Wilm had decisively put himself out with the establishment of the "German Society for Goldsmiths' Art" in Berlin for the gold- and silversmith's craft. At the beginning of the 40s recommended Wilm the town of Hanau establish a center of the precious metal art in the former town hall, the idea of ​​the German Goldsmiths' House as a jewelery museum was born.
Only a short time after they had launched their activities, 19 March 1945, the building fell victim to bomb attack. In the reconstruction in 1958 the premises of the house were entirely fitted to use them as an exhibition space for the German and international jewelery and device design. The Society for Goldsmiths art found in 1985 also with its relocation from Berlin to Hanau its homestead in the House of Goldsmiths .
The house offers a suitable framework with its two large exhibition spaces, the gold and the silver room, for many national and international exhibitions.
With its versatile exhibitions on various jewelry and device designers and presentations from different groups of artists, the German Goldsmiths' House occupies within the Hanauer museum landscape an important place and is also one of the major exhibition centers of gold and silversmithing in Germany .
Collection
Friedrich Becker Bracelets 1987
Since the 80s, the German House of Goldsmiths Hanau endeavours through purchases and donations a wide range of jewelery design with a great variety of materials and design trends to document. An optical attraction is the Kinetikinstallation (kinetics intallation) of the Düsseldorf artist Friedrich Becker in the stairwell.
Ebbe Weiss-Weingart Brooch, 1995
A highlight of the collection offer 183 works of the goldsmith Ebbe Weiss-Weingart of Salem/Bodensee and the collection of the former teacher of the National Academy of Drawing, Eberhard Burgel.
The themes of the ever-changing exhibitions range from retrospectives of individual artists to thematic exhibitions such as belt buckles of Art Nouveau, Hungarian goldsmith's art or jewelry from three millennia. But the schools also present themselves as the State Drawing Academy Hanau, Fachhochschule Dusseldorf, the technical schools in Pforzheim as well as the Canberra School of Art. They are representing the young jewelry avant-garde in which unconventional materials such as steel, plastic, textiles are standing equally side by side with gold, silver and precious stones.
With its international competitions the German House of Goldsmiths is addressing jewelery designers from all countries. These events are organized in cooperation with the Society for Goldsmiths' Art E.V., which promotes as a non-profit association the contemporary jewelery and device design through competitions, exhibitions and publications.
Since 1968, the International Silver Triennial is organized, which is meanwhile one of the most prestigious events of the international silversmiths scene. On numerous exhibitions of the house publications are offered.
An extensive reference library for gold and silversmithing to the interested by appointment is available. For various events the premises of the house including the basement and the new foyers can be rented. Please contact us for further informations on this.
