After testing at the National Research Council Canada facilities in Ottawa for over two months, part of VIA Rail's new Siemens Charger set is heading back towards the Montreal Maintenance Centre. It is blasting through Dorval with a Siemens Charger locomotive bringing up the rear and is running as VIA 628.
On an overcast Saturday afternoon, CDOT GP40-2H 6696 leads a southbound test extra through Wallingford. Train crews were qualifying the line from New Haven to Springfield and back as the new CTrail service will be starting in May.
As seen through my new macro lens, this is the test (calcium carbonate structural shell) of a small sea urchin that was unknown to science until one was purchased on eBay in 2006 and subesqently described by Natural History Museum scientists Simon Coppard and Heinke Schultz. I bought this test on eBay right around that time, unaware of this fact.
::::::::::::::::
Sea urchins are members of the phylum Echinodermata, which also includes sea stars, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, and crinoids. Like other echinoderms they have fivefold symmetry (called pentamerism) and a mouth locatted ventrally. This species is from New Caledonia, and this particular test is about 1.6cm wide.
Ok here's what happened. I simply asked Kim to hold the light while I was making to focus. And well... this happened ;)
Trying out a Sigma 150-600 in the photographic shop... this was in the window over the way. Impressive lens, but boy is it heavy.

THESE ARE TESTS - NOT BRICKARMS PRODUCTION ITEMS
Catsy asked if I could make a custom stand for his gaming sessions. He uses 1" hex positioning maps, and Lego minifigs as PCs (Player Characters), and needed something that he could mount a minifig, and also allow him to use 1x1 plates or tiles as scoring markers
Three days later, the Hex Stand was born on the CNC.
It is 100% injection molded, and the grip is very secure on the minifig's feet.
I'll have a limited number of these to SHOW at BrickCon, and Catsy will have plenty for his Flickr stream and gaming, as soon as he stops by to pick them up. :)
Taken with a new rig and experimenting with a new lighting setup and shooting from below as well as from above.
Different sculptures are formed this way, not the normal collisions...but certainly different...
More to come when the new rig is finalised.... watch this space :-)
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.
First public share of a test shot from my new old FujiFilm X-E1 and Meike 35mm f/1.7
It was pretty dark hence the shot is not perfectly sharp, I am discovering 'no ibis' time again. The picture is not touched by editing software, SOOC.
I think I must spend some time to get used to manual focusing and shutter speeds similar to what I had when shooting film.
I really like the bokeh of that Meike. It's pleasant, not disturbing.

Test prints from the ReclaimIt salvaged Polaroid 600 Blue Frog instant camera.
Gleaned Polaroid OneStep 600 Auto Focus, cleaned, tested and on sale now at ReclaimIt!
The camera came from the dump, loaded with a pack of old Polaroid film, the vintage stuff. I have since transferred that film into a cassette with working batteries. I hope to share the results of that experiment soon.
