Testing the deployment of the Sentinel-1A radar antenna in the cleanroom at Thales Alenia Space in Cannes, France. As the satellite is designed to operate in orbit, it is hung from a structure during tests to simulate weightlessness.

in 1950, President Harry Truman established the Nevada Test Site in the middle of Nevada. With the Cold War descending over the World, the United States wanted a test site for nuclear weapons closer than the distant islands of the Pacific Proving Grounds, and Nevada was chosen as the location. From 1951-1992 the Nevada Test Site was the main nuclear testing location in the United States, 928 total, 100 of which were above ground. The mushroom clouds could be seen in Downtown Las Vegas, which soon became popular tourist attractions. During the above-ground tests, the US Army also analyzed survivability of various buildings, fortifications, and shelters, using high-speed cameras. A particularly bad nuclear test in 1953, Upshot-Knothole Harry (later known as "Dirty Harry"), was carried by the wind to and contaminated St. George, Utah, leading to a massive spike in malignant cancer rates (it may also have led to the deaths of many of the cast and crew of the film "The Conqueror", including actor John Wayne and actress Susan Hayward). As far as is known, surface testing stopped in 1962 and underground testing in 1992. The Nevada Test Site, occasionally opened to the public, remains highly secretive, and subcritical tests are said to continue.
Nearby is Yucca Mountain, the controversial site of the would-be National Nuclear Repository. It was approved by Congress in 2002 after 20 years of debates and litigation to house up to 70,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel. Nevadans as a whole were opposed to the plan, especially the 1987 "Screw Nevada Bill" that halted storage studies at other sites in Washington and Texas, though Nye County where the facilities would be located supported the effort for jobs and a direct county finance support plan. In response, Nevada created Bullfrog County, population 0, to force the funds to go to the state level. It was declared unconstitutional a year later. As for Yucca Mountain Nuclear Repository Site, it was quietly defunded in 2011, effectively putting the effort on indefinite hold.

Dee and Tyler bring the boat in from a little spin on the river during Saturday testing in St Clair.
Test shot with my new Canon L lens... it's horrible weather and I'm doomed to shoot crap at home. I manually focussed that photo in live view while holding it with my hands. D:
Did a quick flash diffusion test with my Tamron 90 lens at 1:1 of a test subject using my normal coke can diffuser on a bracket mounted 430Ex vs using a diffused Opteka 600 twin macro flash ( shot here www.flickr.com/photos/lordv/5577399335/ ). Far prefer the light from the single diffused flash with it's much larger ddiffuser head.
The Moulton Bicycle Company has a custom-built cycle test-track located in the grounds of 'The Hall' in Bradford on Avon.
The Hall is the home of the late Alex Moulton (1920 - 2012) and where the Moulton Bicycle Company is based.
As seen through my new macro lens, this is the test (calcium carbonate structural shell) of a small sea urchin that was unknown to science until one was purchased on eBay in 2006 and subesqently described by Natural History Museum scientists Simon Coppard and Heinke Schultz. I bought this test on eBay right around that time, unaware of this fact.
::::::::::::::::
Sea urchins are members of the phylum Echinodermata, which also includes sea stars, sea cucumbers, brittle stars, and crinoids. Like other echinoderms they have fivefold symmetry (called pentamerism) and a mouth locatted ventrally. This species is from New Caledonia, and this particular test is about 1.6cm wide.

37611 with 4Z98 Derby Litchurch Lane to Carlisle Kingmoor on 6th July 2015.
The move was to test gauging for the wagons on the Cumbrian Coast route and the cable seen hanging from the rear cab is part of the monitoring equipment.
This all added to the EE traction-fest which was at the time on the route north of Barrow.
NAWCAD Trenton, located in Mercer County, New Jersey, consists of about 66 acres with a total of 96 buildings and structures. The center was used to test jet engines, alternative fuels, turbines, and engine starters.
The main "hangar" at NAWCAD. Im not exactly sure what this building was used for but there are slots in the ground about a foot deep and there are spikes and stands that stick out of them. It looks like you would brace something on top of them. You can see the slots better in this picture.
Just testing some new papers I got at the craft store. :) The dress is OOAK and available now, see profile for info ♥
...my gift of anniversary (4 of september), Camera Cyber-shot DSC-T3. 8)
My daughter was with a dress without strap in the photo!
Ela estava com um vestido sem alças.
Ricoh TLS 401, Fuji Superia 400 (accidentally shot at 200. Oops!), Auto Sears 55/1.4 w/ Camron UV filter. Negatives Scanned.
Test roll through the camera body that apparently has seen no use since 1984. The meter doesn't work, so I used the LightMeter app by David Quiles Amat on my Galaxy Note II.
Disclaimer in regard to focus: WOW this thing's viewfinder is terrible. The waist-level finder is OK, but small. The eye-level finder is practically impossible, plus mine is cracked and filthy inside... Just crossed my fingers and fired the shutter.
A toy? Not really, this lens can really deliver amazingly sharp results!
--- Lessons learned:
+ best way to get the grips is to use the lens with the cam (in liveview) tethered to a tv set via DVI
+ the lens should not be used on maximum tilt -- you cannot get sharp results with this adjustment
+ the two lenses in the Lensbaby are not coated, backlight will lead to overlit blurry results ...
+ This is a 50 mm lens, minimum object distance is approx 0,6 meters ...
+ shots were take with the 4.0 aperture, ... 5.6 has a wider sweet spot, but less wow effect
+ works fine in Av-Mode
--- This is how focusing works:
Point the optical axis of the lens **exactly** towards the spot you want to focus; adjust focus ring - if possible in zoomed liveview mode.
--- This is how it not works:
Leave the lens as-is (no tilting); try to focus on an object in the corner of the image via turning the focusing wheel.
--- One problem I came across:
The 5DMkII works fine with this lens in Av mode, even better with additional liveview, but does *not* adjust exposure in *zoomed* liveview! => Firstly wait for exposure adjustment, then zoom in, adjust focus, if possible, zoom out again, shoot. :-)

Photos here were shot using old Canon FL/FD lenses mounted onto the new compact mirrorless full frame Sony Alpha A7 released on November 13, 2013 in Japan. The lenses are all manual focus due to the fact they are old legacy prime lenses. The Canon lenses used for this test:
FD 35mm, f2
FL 50mm, f1.4
FD 135mm, f3.5
FD 135mm, f3.5 (with PL filter)
This photo was taken using the portrait focal length, FD 135mm, f3.5 lens.
