Si narra che alla Kalsa, quartiere arabo di Palermo, tanno, vi abitasse una bellissima fanciulla che trascorreva tutte le sante jornate a curare i fiori del suo balcone. Sempre tanno, un giovane moro, passando da quella via, perse la testa per la dolcezza di quel viso. Le dichiarò subito il suo amore e la ragazza, addumata dall’audacia del pretendente, ricambiò il sentimento.
Purtroppo o per fortuna, la dolcissima donzella si sgamò che il giovane (chiddu ca faccia nivura) era già sposato, aveva un paio di figli e stava per tornare dalla sua famiglia in Oriente. E allora che fare?
Notte e notte, tanno, gli scippò la testa, ne fece una grasta in cui ci chiantò dell’odoroso basilicò che espose in bella mostra sul balcone di casa sua. La pianta, ogni matina, fu arruciata con le lagrime della sconsolata pulzella; crebbe rigogliosa destando l’invidia degli abitanti del quartiere che, per non essere da meno, all'ingresso di ogni abitazione misero una testa di moro stavolta di terracotta affinché si sapesse come funzionavano le cose da quelle parti!!!
Niente paura...era tanto tempo fa :)

There's a reason for this odd title but I'll go into that later. Need some advice from everybody....
The six pictures are shot on Ilford HP5+. 3 were shot without filter while the other 3 were shot with a Hoya orange filter.
Each of the 3 shots for each set were shot at different exposures.
Of the six, which image do you prefer and why? I'm trying to calibrate my film so all comments will be welcomed
Hi,
Just to conclude my experiment, the order is as follows:
without orange filter
(a) +1
(c) measured exposure
(f) (-1)
with orange filter
(b) +1
(d) metered exposure
(e) -1
So, if you ever want to shoot B&W film.. you have an idea what an orange filter will do :-)
Testing out my new Canon RF 800mm F11 lens this morning. (Not the best composition with the Mourning Dove, but I wanted to critique the focusing quality of the lens today). Although this lens is definitely light and hand-holding is do-able, I'll probably stick to mostly using a mono- or tri-pod. I'm too shaky most days and the 800mm can be pretty unforgiving with the slightest wobble from me! All in all though, I'm happy with the results I got today. (All five shots were taken with my camera resting on a beanbag in the car window).Will this be my "go-to" lens for everyday wildlife photography? Maybe not...(I still have my eye on the RF 100-500 lens), but it was AFFORDABLE (and George Lepp gave it a great review a few months ago, so I was sold.) It really is a great lens in the right shooting conditions and I hope to get better as I use it more often, once our summer heatwave is over.
I would love to hear from others who own this lens and have any tips or tricks they use to get the best possible shots.

More tests of diffusion materials. Following some discussion with Dalantech , I've also included the red channel histogram which in the first test seemed to be suppressed slightly by paper diffusers but in this test the profiles look similar
Testing RX1R - the quality from the original RX1 is already fantastic but the detail you can see from the RX1R is both punishable but amazing, even when shot wide open!
As much as I'd love to own a Leica Q, I've put the money instead towards the two RX1 and one RX1R bodies currently in the stable and treat each one as disposable then.
Also testing a Magmod magsphere copy ... as said, it doesn't soften the light but spreads it out. Might still need to look around for a small outdoor diffuser which effectively softens the light. Umbrellas are great but I've lost quite a few equipment from being blown over in the wind >_<
Direct Rail Services 37605 & 37607 top and tail a Network Rail Test Train consisting of Radio Survey Coach 977868, Ultrasonic Test Coach UTU3 999602 and Remote Driving Car 9714 through Camberley working Didcot - Hither Green.
Healey Mills to marsden MGR wagons, nice day for December, with dry rail / good conditions.
Loco ran round at Marsden, train returned to Healey Mills, success.....
Come 1981, when the Woodhead Route closed, these MGR's were a regular sight through Huddersfield, heading for the Fiddlers Ferry power station, at Warrington.
Often overloaded, and on a wet rail, chaos usually reigned for many an hour, as they failed to make the uphill struggle to Marsden. Stranded passengers everywhere, while their trains were diverted up the "Lanky" and just a few local stoppers to Leeds with no taxis / buses, or backup plan, it was awful, and it happened regularly.
A class 37 was on standby in platform 7, when this photo was taken, and 56 006 had a brake van marshalled, at each end of the wagons.
Looking at this now, it seems as if BR had the woodhead route stitched up already, even though it did last until 1981.
Testing different lenses for zoom and ease of use.
this one is fuzzy to focus.
The SEL55210 is easier, autofocus and more f stops

Tuesday I bought a new set of markers. I'm testing them today along with a few other pencils and pens that I bought.
Faber-Castell PITT Artist brush pens on Canson Mix Media paper.
Currently use a Moleskine for my daily journaling and I love it... when writing and doing pen work anyway. I don't like how the paper performs with water though. Sooooo, I've been thinking of making my own journals and have been test papers. I want the thinnest paper possible that will perform well with watercolor... Think I've found a winner!
