well, since I finally got a box of Polaroid 59 film that works, I've been testing it out. Somewhat different than the 3 1/4 x4 1/4 669 film, and the Daylab has a lot more bells and whistles. :) Which is good... but still trying to get a general grasp of it all. :) so just a test transfer...
Hope everyone has a spiffy day! ha ha :)
Quick test which hints at cheap filters being a pain for night shots. I might test it on a day shoot before giving the world a chance to buy it off me on ebay.
I must point out the shortcomings of this test. Only one sample of each filter was used, and only tested on one lens for one exposure, and clearly the better performances were in different lighting conditions (though I think flare and ghosting would be more likely with a darker background/higher contrast).
Nathan Hyde, a biological technician, prepares a sample of fish food to test in the Nitrogen Analyzer, which reads the percent nitrogen of each sample, which then calculates the protein level by running a multiplication formula.

pauses at the yet to be finished Town Hall tram stop for permission to proceed to Broad St on the new extension using its battery pack as no overheads have been installed

Didn't know my test shots for my new water proof camera will become a tribute to Village People's IN THE NAVY :XD: I had no idea that an US navy battle ship visiting my city without any notice! Of cos I don't mind that :XD: cos I love those hunky soldier hunks ;)
The funny thing is Bobby Han (brownie) and Bob Hector (blonde) are both set as knight/general of the Atlantis Empire, so, of cos they r both IN THE NAVY :XD: ❤
I use the carrier as a test stand to hold rollers for running the locomotive in a stationary position. The hose on the stack is connected to a fan to provide a draft. In this testing session I set the popping pressure of the safety valves and ran the engine briefly on steam.

This was in Alkesh's fortune cookie at lunchtime. Ironically, the only reason we were in that restaurant was that we'd been late going to lunch because we were trying to get some tests to pass so we could check in the story we were working on for the Mano a Mano project in the Agile2007 RailsFest.
Test shots for an exhibition in next years Imagine Festival of ideas and politics. I have been given the theme of immigration and want to try and show it from the perspective of the immigrant. These are artefacts/momentos from my childhood.
Not sure that i will go with the duotone, like i say test shots. but i do quite like these.

This is the surviving test road loop near Ottawa, Il. There were six loops at the test site when constructed in 1956-58. The loops were approximately one mile in distance. One leg concrete the other asphalt. This photo is looking West from the East end of the loop. I-80 is to the far right. The other five test loops were situated where I-80 runs today. This particular loop was used for testing the effects of weather on the pavement.
(NOTE: I took this shot with my digital camera mounted to the top of a 12 foot pole. I set the timer and positioned the camera with about 4 seconds to go. I also shot some video using this technique but, my aim was off and not as good as the stills.)

There's nothing more humiliating than a blood test,
Had one today and thought I would die.
It was less than the best, I do not jest.
I passed out, wet myself and started to cry.
--------------------------------
I hate blood tests. No, scratch that. I abhore them....intensely.
It's always been bad ever since I can remember.
I was always passing out as a kid. Blood would set me off. Pain. Even illness would have me crumpling to the floor. I am a pro at spotting "I'm going to pass out now" signs. Rushing ears. Vision fading to black. Sweating.
Of late, though, the passing out has gotten bad, to the point that when I'm coming to I don't know where I am. And usually there are 2 or 3 worried faces staring down at me.... which doesn't help matters.
"Things can't get worse than that" I hear you say.
Oh yes they can...!
This time, to my utter shame, I wet myself. The last time I ever did this I was about 4 and was sleeping between my mom and dad and dreamt I went to the loo.
Sitting there in the hospital this morning, was one of the most humiliating experiences in my whole life. I wanted to die. I still want to die. I feel so ashamed. I cant even say I'm glad it's Friday... life sux!

Poor me.
Godiva Chocolatier makes excellent chocolates but occasionally they sneak in a stale one; so before I could risk sending some as Christmas gifts, I had to buy a beautiful collector tin and taste some for my self. With three layers like the one shown in the picture, the test was grueling! I had to taste each and every one. This time they passed with flying colors* and I bought some more for gifts. Now I don't want to give them away.
*Sadly Godiva, along with every other American company I know of, has no grasp of what a chocolate truffle is really supposed to be. I haven't seen any of those three ounce missal nose cones from Hollywood in a long time; but there are still all manner of things on sale that are too large with shells that are too thick and fillings that don't melt properly. Godiva at least knows that they are supposed to be bite sized.
They do not know, however, that a real truffle filling is specially formulated to melt at body temperature. Real truffles are hand made on a chilled marble slab because of this low melting temperature. The outer shell, if any, is just barely thick enough to keep your fingers from melting it during the trip from the tray to your mouth. Truffles are frequently coated with cocoa powder which is slightly bitter to stimulate the production of saliva which enhances taste and speeds melting. This bitterness is very momentary because the truffle melts almost instantly in the mouth and the filling causes a chocolate wave to explode through the brain creating endorphins along the way. As the wave passes each neuron in the brain, the sensation is relayed to its corresponding part of the body.
What a rush!
The things Godiva sells as truffles are delicious but they don't come close to the Belgian variety. I recently learned that Godiva was selling a line of Legacy Truffles. I raced the store to purchase two of their circa 1946 original dark ones. They were the correct size, and had the hand made look with the cocoa powder coating. They resembled the fungal truffles for which the chocolate ones are named. They looked perfect. I popped one in my mouth and it was STALE! So was the other. I eventually decided that they weren't actually made in 1946, but I have eaten chocolate that I know was over a year old and it was fresher. Godiva is a fine chocolatier, but when it comes to truffles; they just don't get it.
Even so, I am looking forward to the next grueling taste test.
