Here is an overview shot of me at my test station and hobby work area set up on my dinner table. It is hardly a glamour shot but is typical of me at home working on my model railroad. The raised platform on my table is the deck for my upper staging yard on my model railroad. There are photos of me building it last year. I pulled it off for several days so I could paint it without making a mess on my layout and get to the track on my lower staging yard. Piled on the deck are several of the tools I am using plus the paint pens for weathering the track. I painted the track a few pieces at a time on my plastic cutting board and have already completed that part of the operation. The track paint is water soluble and comes off easily in the kitchen sink.
For several months I have been weathering some of my bright and shiny Kato Unitrack using felt tip paint pens from Woodland Scenics. I paint the steel rails a brown-black color and some of the wooden crossties (sleepers in UK rail terminology) a dark brown color. That makes the track look a lot more realistic, but the paint must be removed from the top of the rails, the rail joiners, and certain parts of the switch points in order to maintain electrical continuity between the trains and track. After the paint has dried, I rub an abrasive Bright Boy along the tops of the rail, the metal portion of the Unijoiners, and the inside surfaces of the switch points.
I snap the Unijoiners back onto each piece of track and connect each weathered piece of track with my test rig. The 12 volt DC power is fed via the blue and white wires from my power supply to an unpainted S62F feeder track upstream from the items to be tested. In this case, I am testing a left hand #6 switch and several pieces of curved and straight track to make sure I have continuity. The red and black wires control the switch motor. I run the engine forward and backward on each route of the switch several times to insure a good electrical path. All of my newly painted track is tested on my work table before I install them on the layout.

Amazing and Beautiful image!
Yesterday we looked out our windows and saw people and equipment on the Sheboygan River.. I thought it might be Coast Guard practicing ice rescue, something they do annually. When I went to check it out, I discovered that they were ice fishermen. They said they had tested the ice and it appeared to be 6"thick. The less than cautious fishermen were very fortunate not to need an ice rescue team.

Exposure Test
This is a cutting room floor outtake from this morning ... It was my first guess at what exposure time to use (118 seconds - I was aiming for 120). I don't have a fancy timer thingy, so I press the button to open the shutter, then I count in my head slowly, and finally press the shutter again to end my exposure. So if I get quiet while talking to you while I am shooting, it is probably because I am counting in my head.

Tested another camera today. Kiev IIIa on Wolfen UN54 film. Jupiter 8 lens. Developed in HC110 dil. b
Well a few days ago I bought my first speedlite. Yesterday I went to the woods for testing out the speedlite and learning how to use it.
This is one of the first shots.. Originally I bought it for portrait photography, to replace my Ikea lamp used for portrait pictures, but as I don't have models walking in and out of my house..
So, I liked the lightning and the midnight feel.. It was taken in bright sunlight.
I'll hope you like it to as this isn't a typical photo of me :)
PP: I cropped it a little bit an added a little touch of contrast.. So as good as OOC.

*Note: I've done a little bit experimenting by putting high level darkening effect on the subject's background. Just testing my picture-editing abilities.
NR54 is seen here undertaking signal testing and commissioning at Table Top as the shadows of the day lengthen.
The loco has just departed the new Up Home Signal, EH6 towards Tynan Road.
The line on the right hand side is the new 3,200m arrival road for the Ettamogah Rail Hub.
Monday 15th March 2021.
It was August, 1981. The light was grim on this day, particularly when I was using Kodachrome 64! This was something of a desperate attempt to gain at least a record of the event. I didn't even note the class 47 but I suspect one of our number did!
I'm pretty sure test coach 'Mentor' is the vehicle with the pantograph.
I'll leave out some details for a while to let some of you guess the location! Mr Searle and Mr Heyl are banned from this game!
This is a photo i found on my storage, which i took quite some years ago. I found it an interesting shot to test some editing on.
Testing out a new lab for my film scanning (Richard Photo Lab in Los Angeles). Also shot my first roll of Ektar 100 film. Beautiful stuff! I exposed at rated speed, plus 1/2 and 1 stop over. Highlights remained fine throughout. Slightly more grain in the shadows when shot at rated rather than overexposing, but it was pretty minimal. In this small test I didn't see any compelling reason to shoot at one stop over like many films seem to need. The grain is minimal in all of the images. Beautiful stuff! Oh wait, I said that. And the Fuji Frontier scanner seems to do a nice job too. Will compare by scanning with my Epson 4990 and see what I'm getting for money money. Not big files unfortunately…we're talking 8x10 territory here, max print size.
Update 09/23/10: It took me near an hour to get the same neg scanned with (close to) the same look and quality using my Epson 4990. Mind you, I suck at color correction. But right there it becomes good value.
Testing new Samyang 14mm/2.8 ED IF UMC.
Package came in just this morning.
I just took few shots with it and I can tell you one thing - this lens is craaaazy ;)
Worth every penny.
EDIT: One thing I noticed about this lens - its very hard to focus when you have a standard focusing screen (5d) - Live View comes in handy.
If you have a canon camera maybe its a good idea to buy Samyang with Nikon mount with focus confirmation and use an adapter.
Test shoot with a potential new model at TCPG (Twin Cities Photo Group) studios in the lovely Midway section between St. Paul and Minneapolis.
this is an old pic... just wanted to test the power of cleavage and whipped cream as a means to getting views...
Rather than taking photos of all 50+ current Mascoteers, I had the idea to try my hand at rendering the models.
Right now I'm struggling with the lighting and materials used on the model. Left to right shows the progress made so far.
I was reserving my last roll of Agfa RSX II (of course, outdated) to use it with the hassy. The new lens seems to be working fine.
