Not really had much use from the telephoto lens , so thought I would take it out and try to capture something I have always failed at , capturing a bird in flight.
First attempt isn't so bad , hoping to improve as time goes on , its a completely different game to the macro shots I usually take.
for this photo I put a yellow lamp behind a transparent brick. it was just a simple test for stop-motion.

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.
30th March 2018.

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.
My first time ever shooting 35mm, back in November of 2016. Taken on my Canon Canonet 28, most likely using expired fujifilm
I really like the portability of strobe lights. I'm talking about the speedlite units, stands and umbrellas, not the large studio strobes with modeling lights. Fortunately with digital the question of whether or not the strobes fired is immediately reviewable.
A flash/ambient meter is almost a necessity I've found in outdoor locations. On the other hand, tho heavier and usually needed a power outlet, are the flat panel displays. A bit bulkier but still fairly portable.
John and I were doing a photo shoot in one of the U's studios and using a soft box . . . hence the warm light on John's neck and 2 strobes, with umbrellas. I find it very relaxing to do shoots with good shooting friends.
Two of the members of the "A-Team", Nita Jane, and Barry come onboard when the shoot is more complex and more assistants or creative input is needed.
This was pretty straighforward, and I took the opportunity to do some "wing shooting" of the preparations.
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.
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.
