Test shot of my bench with Ilford's new 4x5 direct positive glossy FB paper. I followed Ilford's suggestion of rating the paper at ISO 3. I only got one shot as I lost the light between shooting the single test shot and developing. I still need more work as this is too much exposure - with direct positive, you have to reduce time to darken as you start at black (it's weird and is going to take some getting used to). I made no corrections!

So this a driving timelaspe I made while testing my recently purchased camera mount that I bought at a photo expo. The mount is called the Fat Gecko from Delkin. It's a mount that uses suction to attach to smooth surfaces. So I wanted to see how well it would handle during normal driving conditions. So this is the result of the test.
I took this timelapse during my drive to pick up family dinner. In the middle of the movie you will see my arms / steering wheel go crazy because I couldn't get into the parking spot so I have to maneuver multiple times to get into the spot (San Diego has some of the smallest parking spots, grrr)
Metalwork is tested for cracks with a wheel tappers hammer at the GCR during a Timeline Events photo charter. (All the wagons passed the test and will be ruuning again at the next gala).
I got a very strange letter from the authorities today, apparently I was up for my annual psychiatric evaluation (I never had one before so I was a bit suspicious). I was led into an office and told to wait for a Doctor Sigmund Pip.
The Doctor seamed vaguely familiar but I couldn’t quite concentrate because I was a bit nervous.
The Doctor showed me some strange cards with ink stains on them and looked at me quizzingly, ready to write down whatever I thought I’d see. After I told him he would shake his head in a disapproving manner while whispering “pip… pip…”.
After hundreds of cards containing what seemed like a dog juggling some bones, I was dismissed. I started to question my sanity and somehow felt the urge to buy some treats for Pip… what a strange day.
In the distance I heard someone giggle… but I probably just imagined that too.

No profit was made from this picture.
Just thought I'd see how the new elf/werewolf hairpiece looked on a Valcan :)
Testing out a Roll of Adox Colour Implosion film shot at 100 ASA using a Nikon F3HP camera, Nikkor Ai 50mm f/1.4 lens, and SB-16 Flash.
The film (and prints) look this bad on purpose, when shot at 100 ASA, the film has a definite blue cast, shot at 400 ASA, a Red cast. When I picked the film up from the lab, they thought I'd been shooting 30 year old film, rather than new film.

A new risky test (due to quality problems) of Svema films, here the OTO 200, in Lyon France, December 26, 2022.
I used my Zorki 4K camera (year 1977) equipped the 42-mm shade hood of my Focaflex and a FOCA anti-UV filter.
Svema (Свема) OTO 200 is a super-panchromatic film coated on a very thin polyester flat base that looks very closed to the aerial film Agfa Aviphot 200. The film an extended sensitization in the red to the near IR at 780 nm,
The film was exposed for 200 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III and its 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadows zones of the scenes.
Typically, and due to the poor light conditions, exposures was at 1/125s or 1/60s from f/4.5 to full aperture (f/2 of the KMZ Jupiter 8 lens)
Parc de la Tete d'Or, December 26, 2022
69006 Lyon
France
After exposures the film was processed using Adox Adonal (equivalent to Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 7min (the Rollei Superpan 200 required 8min in the same conditions) according to data found on www.digitaltruth.com).
The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg. The negative views have of poor density and the film suffers from 2 major other problems :
1- The film is shorter than indicated since I made only 33 views instead for the given 36 exposures.
2 - Aside the first 6 views, the emulsion is damaged by darker zones and density "punctures" indicated that the stock film is likely from a stock that was poorly preserved, maybe exposed to chemical vapors or outdated (contrary to the indicated expiry date in April 2024 (batch #33). The same damages were observed the previous FOTO 400 film test indicating quality problems for these Svema films.
As for the Agfa Aviphot 200 (Rollei Superpan 200) the film is backed with a water-soluble anti halation coat that need to be removed prior to development. Three bathes of 1min with water at the same development temperature was necessary to remove the black and dark blue layer.
About the camera :
This camera was manufactured in 1977 by KMZ company ( Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. KMZ also manufactured the ZENIT SLR's among many other productions. Zorki 4K was produced between 1972 to 1978 and the previous Zorki models were inspired by the Leica II since 1949. This model 'Made in USSR" is branded in roman characters, intentionally for exportation. Other Zorki 4K were also branded in Cyrillic as "Зоркий". Zorki 4K was sold basically either with this Jupiter-8 lens 1:2 f=50mm or the Industar lens1:3.5 f=50mm. The Jupiter-8 is a Sonnar Zeiss optical formula and fits to the Zorki body using the screwing M39 Leica mount.
Its was sold to me in August 2022 from Austria with its original ever-ready leather bag, a front lens cap and a small shade hood accessory Minolta D42KA. The shade hood and filter of my Focaflex also fit to the Jupiter lens (Leica standard 42 mm filter)
This is a test of your emergency Visual Information Channel...or VIC...had there been a real emergency more visual information would be given and instructions on where to go for your safety and visual peace of mind would be provided....
VIC...there when you need it !
My first test using HDR software from old film scans. I welcome all comments and suggestions.
More like a lost future, overgrown with lush vegetation, a low fog covered jungle in the rear - more like Ankgor Wat in Cambodia than the Roman Forum in Italy.

Testing flash accessories. These images only make sense if you are flash geek :)
Setup:
SB-600 on shelf camera right about 2 meters away from wall with 1/16 power. Triggered with Nikon CLS. D70s & 10-20mm at 10mm (cropped)
1. Bare SB-600 zoomed to 24mm
2. Bare SB-600 zoomed to 85mm
3. SB-600 with HonlPhoto 1/4 grid. Zoomed to 85mm
4. SB-600 with HonlPhoto 1/8 snoot. Zoomed to 85mm
Zooming the flash head with grid or snoot mainly affected to the strenght of the light spot, not the shape of it.

An excellent performance, 1 advisory for a freyed numberplate. As uploaded previously.
Taxed 01/06/14 for 6 months
I suspect this'll be its last tax-renewal with me, as hopefully co-driver Joe takes a 'turn' with the Bird.
Yes, I've been a dope and left the tax disc back in Nottingham, but given that the final lot of tax discs are being issued now, I can't see this being too much of an issue. Do you?
Insured 12 months TPFT
Referring back to a previous (Volvo) upload discussing insurances and seemingly illogical quotes, this student here bagged himself a policy at £362! I've been laughing for days!
Overall, Bluebird motoring has been and still is a delight. The car still gets plenty of positive words from passers-by.
The Bird has been on the roads with us for a year now. :-)
Snapped at a mates house.
