Checking out a new (to me!) lens: a Canon EM 18-150 before it was put back in its box to be wrapped up for Christmas!
I like to travel light and my current (& significantly heavier) Canon ES 28-105 needs a Viltrox adapter to fit the M50 making it a tad cumbersome & front heavy.

MBTA Genset 3249 leads Mass Coastal train MC-1 south at Sagamore, MA while undergoing testing after receiving work from MPI.
A test photo taken today, I have seen (through a phone) photos like these on Flickr so though I would give it a go......my model was crap as she would not do as she was told!!!!
A BNSF rack train runs north through the approach to the Eads bridge and up Terminal Railroad's high-line at an obvious location.
Sucky, washed out colors courtesy of about a million western wildfires that have made St. Louis and just about the entire continental US appear to have a permanent overcast. I'll have to try this again when blue skies are back, probably after the election.

Pacific Fiction ...
Faithful to the heritage of conceptual art, fascinated by land art and especially by Robert Smithson, influenced by Olafur Eliasson’s teaching at the Institut für Raumexperimente in Berlin, Julian Charrière sets in motion research processes that give rise to performances, photographic records, films and installations.
His materials, including decaying organic matter, cryogenically frozen plants, sediment and salt bricks reflect particular times and spaces, both as tangible traces of what he calls a ‘geology of history’ and as explorations of humanity’s interdependent relationship with our environment.
Pacific Fiction – Study for Monument is one of a set of works created by Charrière following his exploration of the Marshall Islands and the Bikini atoll, part of his research into former nuclear testing sites as dystopian places par excellence.
The United States test-fired nearly seventy nuclear bombs in the Marshall Islands from 1946 to 1958, including Castle Bravo, the single most powerful H-bomb, which wiped two islands from the map.
Pacific Fiction, a pyramid of coconuts encased in lead, can be read as the model for a future memorial. The coconuts refer to the etymology of the Bikini atoll, which takes its name from the local Melanesian name ‘Pikinni’, ‘pik’ meaning ‘surface’ and ‘ni’ meaning ‘coconut palm’. The lead is used for its physical property of withstanding radiation. While the pile of coconuts echoes a stock of cannon balls, the work’s pyramid shape and its subtitle, Study for Monument, also conjure up images of a tomb, Egyptian pyramids, the architecture of the bunkers on the Bikini atoll shoreline, and the angular iron monoliths that slumber in the depths of the Pacific.

Pazifische Fiktion ...
Getreu dem Erbe der Konzeptkunst, fasziniert von der Land Art und insbesondere von Robert Smithson, beeinflusst von der Lehre Olafur Eliassons am Institut für Raumexperimente in Berlin, setzt Julian Charrière Forschungsprozesse in Gang, aus denen Performances, fotografische Aufzeichnungen, Filme und Installationen hervorgehen.
Seine Materialien, darunter verrottende organische Materie, kryogenisch gefrorene Pflanzen, Sedimente und Salzziegel, spiegeln bestimmte Zeiten und Räume wider, sowohl als greifbare Spuren dessen, was er eine "Geologie der Geschichte" nennt, als auch als Erkundungen der wechselseitigen Beziehung zwischen dem Menschen und seiner Umwelt.
Pacific Fiction - Study for Monument gehört zu einer Reihe von Werken, die Charrière im Anschluss an seine Erkundung der Marshallinseln und des Bikini-Atolls geschaffen hat, die Teil seiner Recherchen über ehemalige Atomtestgelände als dystopische Orte par excellence sind.
Die Vereinigten Staaten haben von 1946 bis 1958 auf den Marshallinseln fast siebzig Atombomben getestet, darunter Castle Bravo, die stärkste H-Bombe, die zwei Inseln von der Landkarte tilgte.
Pacific Fiction, eine mit Blei ummantelte Pyramide aus Kokosnüssen, kann als Modell für ein künftiges Mahnmal gelesen werden. Die Kokosnüsse beziehen sich auf die Etymologie des Bikini-Atolls, das seinen Namen von der lokalen melanesischen Bezeichnung "Pikinni" ableitet, wobei "pik" für "Oberfläche" und "ni" für "Kokospalme" steht. Das Blei wird wegen seiner physikalischen Eigenschaft, Strahlung zu widerstehen, verwendet. Während der Haufen Kokosnüsse an einen Vorrat an Kanonenkugeln erinnert, rufen die ursprüngliche Pyramidenform des Werks und sein Untertitel Study for Monument auch Bilder eines Grabes, ägyptischer Pyramiden, der Architektur der Bunker auf dem Bikini-Atoll und der kantigen Eisenmonolithen hervor, die in den Tiefen des Pazifiks schlummern.

Minette est décédée, nous l'avons accompagné tout au long de sa dernière piqure en la regardant dans les yeux et en la caressant jusqu'à son dernier souffle. Nous faisons beaucoup de photos de nos animaux domestiques car ils sont toujours présents à côté de nous et par amour. Elle a été mon modèle pour tous mes tests d'objectifs et d'appareils photos, elle ne disait rien, et jouait le jeu et tous ses câlins qui vont me manquer. Elle avait 17 ans. Merci !
Test-Posting two digital photos, as I got locked out of my Flickr Account for inactivity. Checking for a smooth transition come January 2025.

...........from fractiousness to total abandonement in a minute, how can children be so much hard work and then become so wonderful to behold...........
Bella, cautiously testing the chair only days after I adopted her. The chair had been empty for a few months, Bella needed a new home & I needed a cat. Now, she “knows” the chair belongs to her, though I’m usually allowed to share it!

Testing out something a little more artistic for a Milky Way shot, choosing selective colors for what I think are the interesting aspects of a given MW shot. For this shot I thought the intense green airglow and new spring vegetation growth combined with the aurora from the Memorial Day weekend storm were "highlights" of the shot. I also decided to selectively color the Rho Ophiuchi complex, North American Nebula, and Sadr region. Thoughts?
Rare test de photo de nuit en rentrant du travail. Sans trépied pas top mais j'ai trouvé l'ambiance pas mal quand même!
Test shot of the sun with my new solar filter that I got so I may try a shot of the solar eclipse on Aug 21. Works very well!
In the late evening, loaded coal from Robinson Run grinds up Cranberry Grade near Graveyard Curve in a deafening sound comparable to any mountain grade in the US.
Test prints from the ReclaimIt salvaged Polaroid 600 Blue Frog instant camera.
Gleaned Polaroid OneStep 600 Auto Focus, cleaned, tested and on sale now at ReclaimIt!
The camera came from the dump, loaded with a pack of old Polaroid film, the vintage stuff. I have since transferred that film into a cassette with working batteries. I hope to share the results of that experiment soon.
