This was taken on the last batch of test film that was released by the Impossible Project 3 months ago. Quinn and I got some pretty good results and I got to rummage her stuff and rearrange it. I love shooting indoors, because the way a scene looks is a bit more fluid. I can slide a couch out of the way, put up a backdrop, or move everything closer to the windows so I can utilize the natural light that's available. As a matter of fact, using the light coming in through the windows was important on this shoot for testing something else, because I was still getting the hang of my new SLR 680. I don't think I'd done more than one or two other shoots with that camera, and I'm probably just now getting the hang of it. I takes a lot of testing to get used to these old cameras and new film types.

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.
Welcome to Planet Frost
Our tour continues...
As a center of science and industry, Planet Frost is at the forefront of cutting edge research and development. It is not unusual to see experimental rovers like this one being tested, zipping about on the moondust flats.
This one is built on a 2009 RC chassis (bb0396c01). I saw one on bricklink for a few bucks so I thought why not? It is a bit underpowered (only 4.5v) but fun anyway.

I just received by mail a preowned Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM (huh!) objective and wanted to take some test shots (in spite of the slippery street). Everything seems to be OK.
This is a crop (ca. 1/6 of the original frame).

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.
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.

CN TEST RDC 1501 returns northbound towards Guelph crossing Highway 24 after testing south on the Fergus spur to Preston. This day found O999 running from Stratford to Kitchener, testing the Huron Park spur, and continuing to Guelph for this Preston trip. The train would later tie down at Guelph.
Electro-Motive Division, along with Union Pacific, did some high-altitude testing of EMD’s SD90MAC-Hs at aptly-named Plainview, Colorado, in February 1998. Here, UP Nos. 8503, 8502 and 8505, along with specially-painted EMD No. 8504, splice the EMD test car at Plain siding on Union Pacific’s Moffat Tunnel Subdivision.
