Operating a test run prior to heading away from the area to be converted into an open topper, to replace the open top Bristol VRs currently run by the company, we see former London General, now Dart Pleasure Craft of Dartmouth motor Y812TGH heading through the center of Totnes looking very smart whilst still carrying the livery of previous owner, Plymouth Citybus.

First image testing out the Nikon D810. Huge files, so this is way downsized

Testing of the Class 800 IET units on the ECML is ramping up with regular outings for the new trains.
Full introduction is planned from December this year. For the moment, however, the new trains still have some novelty value.
9 car unit 800101 heads through Sunderland Bridge, south of Durham, with an Edinburgh to Doncaster Carr working.

Testing one, two and now, three.
Radio frequency testing has begun on the first Orion spacecraft that will fly around the Moon for the Artemis 1 mission, just two weeks after thermal and environmental tests were completed at NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Ohio, USA.
Electromagnetic compatibility or EMC testing is routine for spacecraft. All electronics emit some form of electromagnetic waves that can cause interference with other devices. Think of the buzz that speakers give out right before an incoming call on a mobile phone.
Spacecraft electronics can cause similar interference, but out in space such interference can have disastrous consequences, so all systems must be checked before launch.
EMC tests often take place in a special shielded room constructed of metal walls and doors and foamy spikes (aka Absorbers) that block out unwanted external electromagnetic radiation, like ESA’s Maxwell chamber at its technical site in the Netherlands.
Though not an EMC chamber, Plum Brook’s thermal vacuum chamber is made of aluminium that does provide electromagnetic shielding, making it a suitable substitute.
To test electronics, the spacecraft will simulate a flight in realistic conditions with most of its subsystems and equipment powered and in operational mode.
The electronics are first tested for compatibility in this electromagnetic shielded chamber. Equipment will be switched on to test whether they do potentially disturb one another.
In the second round of tests, electromagnetic fields will be applied using antennas around the spacecraft to test the susceptibility to interference from external sources. The Orion capsule is equipped with electromagnetic field sensors to take measurements as the disturbance frequencies are injected into the chamber.
While all subsystems are a potential source of radio frequency noise, of particular interest are the transmitters that intentionally generate radio frequencies. These can easily disturb other equipment sensitive to electromagnetic noise, like GPS receivers, tele-command modules and other communication elements.
Orion’s European Service Module provides power, propulsion, and crew life support.
ESA experts are on site monitoring all tests alongside NASA colleagues as Orion moves closer to its first flight without a crewaround the Moon.

Another test shot from this mornings walk, it was good to see a Painted Lady there, first I've seen on my home patch this season :-)
A check of RTT last Tuesday alerted me to the running of the monthly 1Q47 Derby R.T.C. - Carlisle High Wapping Sidings PLPR train that evening.
A further check of a TOPS list showed that the recently refurbished 37521 was one of the two loco's in the frame for this caper so I headed out.
A phone convo' with Dave McDigital was had, I collected him in the car and together we sallied forth to Nethertown.
Sadly 521 was not leading but one can't really complain about a 37/4 in this day and age, 421 fronting up.
A test shot of the Brenzier Method outside of my office building. I used a 50mm 1.4 at 1.4. There are 24 shots here stitched together in CS3. I'm gonna try with the 70-200 for the next one.
My first time ever shooting 35mm, back in November of 2016. Taken on my Canon Canonet 28, most likely using expired fujifilm
The freight-only Coalville Line crosses the busy A42 Trunk Road at New Packington, on the outskirts of Ashby de la Zouch. On 4th December 2018, 1Q48 Derby RTC - Tyseley LMD passes over the dual carriageway, headed by Colas Rail Freight Class 37 No. 37116, with classmate No. 37219 (out of picture) at the rear. The sight of someone on the over bridge pointing a big lens in their direction must have been a little unnerving for some of the drivers heading south on the A42, but those having seen the test train would have probably twigged that the camera was no speed gun!

Honeywell's Boeing 757, N757HW heading off to Vienna after a short stop. Built in 1983 for Eastern Airlines as N504EA, it then spent 10 years from 1995 to 2005 flying for Airtours/My Travel in the UK as G-JALC, this machine is one of the oldest 757s (l/n 5) still flying.

Bij het naderende onweer viel me deze wolk op.
Hij veranderde heel snel van vorm, dus haast geboden.
Een minuut later zag het er heel anders uit en regende het.

I finally had a chance to get out and test the D810 with a long exposure. I like the result so far over the D600. This is full resolution for your viewing pleasure. Yes, I did some post = Contrast/highlights and Noise reduction. - but not much. The images that come out of the D810 are pretty clean to begin with.
I used a Samyang 14mm f/2.8 for the shot.
I processed this from the original .jpg that came out of the cam. When I received this cam there was no way to process RAW.

This was taken with a canon 300d digital camera and a 17-85mm lens. It is a re enactment of a civil service test and has been printed in ESL textbooks. Test taking has always been a huge part of Korean society and this depicts how civil servants had to display their ability in calligraphy in front of many examiners.
