Dragged a car battery and an inverter out onto the back field to test out a 10m length of mains-powered ropelights. A bit daft really. I'm sure the lights themselves would manage with 12V is there was enough current getting through. 2A per metre apparently. I need to get it attached to a smaller battery if it's going to be mobile.
The 10m is doubledup twice here, so it's 4strands, each 2m in length, with the excess hidden, as swinging 10m straight out proved to keep hitting bushes, and was a bit iffy. Probably a 2-person job really. But it's got potential as a largescale LP tool as it's bright. This is a 2.5s exposure, so they're moving quite quickly, at a greater distance, moved slower, they should still show up OK.
Testing the Fuji 50-140mm f/2.8. Someone commented that this lens has a case of confused identity bec. it thinks it is a prime lens. I believe that person may very well be right. :P I am gonna try this lens in a sports setting soon to see how it fares.
The new Test-Bed Telescope 2, a European Space Agency telescope, is housed inside the shiny white dome shown in this picture, at ESO’s La Silla Observatory in Chile. The telescope has now started operations and will assist its northern-hemisphere twin in protecting us from potentially hazardous, near-Earth objects.
The domes of ESO's 0.5 m and the Danish 0.5 m telescopes are visible in the background of this image.

New Transport for Wales Class 197 unit 197001 passes Ffynnongroyw near Mostyn with a Chester to Llandudno Junction test run.
Pannier 9466 at Stratford this evening, during a test run from Tyseley and back. Though this trip was to give the locomotive a run out on the mainline ahead of The Pannier Rambler tour next Saturday, the train did carry fare paying passengers.
A further loaded test run around the Carnforth circuit for Bulleid 'Merchant Navy' Class no. 35018 'British India Line' took place on the 7th March 2018. Here the train passes Armistead on the Little North Western line, still showing signs of a continuing problem. Nevertheless, on this occasion, the whole circuit was completed.

Macro Test with a Schneider 150mm Symmar-S f/5.6 on a Horseman L45 monorail, with a Nikon D800. This shows how the lens is not intended for close-up work. However, the tilt & shift of the camera allowed me to get what I wanted in focus, even if the lens couldn't handle being used this close.
I did a test by closing the aperture to the maximum and, to my surprise, instead of f/32 it closed to f/40. Not that I mind, but it remains a mystery. The subject was about 34 centimeters away with the flash activated and positioned about 20 cm from the flower. The wall, which is white in color, turned completely black in this way.
Ho effettuato una prova chiudendo il diaframma al massimo e, con mia sorpresa, invece di f/32 si è chiuso a f/40.
Non che mi dispiaccia la cosa, ma resta un mistero.
Il soggetto era a circa 34 centimetri con il flash attivato e posizionato a circa 20 cm dal fiore.
La parete, che è di colore bianco, in questo modo è venuta completamente nera.

A page from my journal of test tangles. Some old, some new, some mixed, some matched, some original, some learned, all fun!
67012 and 027 seem to be earning their keep in early 2015, circulating the railways of northern England with a couple of Network Rail test coaches.
Here 67027 is seen at the head of the 1Q17 0851 Derby R.T.C.(Network Rail) - Heaton T&R.S.M.D.
Northern 'Sprinter' 156444 can also be seen waiting to depart with the 15:28 Carlisle to Middlesborough.
