Today I finally got around to sewing the apron that has been sitting beside my sewing machine in pieces for the past month. I wanted to make a "test" version before making one with fabrics that are a bit more precious. I think the neck is a bit too wide for my body, so I'm going to alter it slightly for the next version.
Pattern is from Lotta Jansdotter's "Simple Sewing".

Formula One Testing, Day One, Tuesday 28th January 2014. Jerez, Spain.
This was supposed to be a test shot.
Here is the story. So my buddy Kyle called me a few min ago and asked if he could borrow my Mamiya medium format camera. I told him he could and he came over right away. Since I had a few frames in a roll left to shoot I was super excited for an opportunity to shoot some more film. (It's just so much easier to grab the digital.) Anyway, we grabbed my strobes and headed back to the ally way since I think it produces some pretty kick ass back lighting as the sun goes down.
We meticulously set everything up. I balanced the strobe and the ambient with my light meter and finally decided to pop off a digital just to be safe. Then I started firing away. I took a couple shots, bracketed a few and then was done with the roll. As I reached down to put everything back in the bag I realized I had changed my shutter speed earlier to take a natural light photo before we started setting up the strobes. Unfortunately all the photos we took will not turn out due to the fact that we went WAY past the sync speed.
Either way, I still have the one photo I took as a test. Here it is.
Strobist info: SB800 with shoot through umbrella camera right.
Elos Magnesium Test Kit
Just messing around, the light from the left looked perfect in my living room, so I popped a shot off ;) My first product shot?
Basically it's an ELOS Magnesium Test Kit (reef tank test kit) on top of a stack of Filter socks.

The telescope holder and tripod is very useful for testing telescopes up tp 8 inches.

Piping Technology & Products, Inc., recently performed its snubber cycle test to prove the durability of a MSA 35 mechanical snubber manufactured for an engineering and construction company at Pine Bluff, Arkansas.
The cyclic test, performed using PT&P’s in-house, horizontal, hydraulic press, is designed to test snubbers at their two modes of operation. At high rates of loading, especially impact, the snubber is expected to provide very high resistance to movement. At low speeds snubbers are to provide very low resistance to movement. Testing a snubber at a low speed displays the normal wear and tear over an extended period of time.
In this case, a cyclic test was performed, in which the MSA 35 Mechanical Snubber with a load rating of 50,000 pounds and design travel of 6 inches was measured at a slow speed response. The low speed force remained at a fairly constant 500 pounds for the 50 hours and 5000 cycles it sustained. This value meets the common criteria that the drag force should be 2% or less than the rated load.
In addition to the snubber cycle drag test, Piping Technology & Products, Inc. has administered other tests such as the burst test for expansion joints. The tests executed by PT&P allow companies to attain the most precise and reliable data available to them. Using this to their advantage, customers will be able to compare data about the recently ordered products, to their individual standards of dependability and durability.
Piping Technology & Products, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries are recognized leaders in manufacturing pipe hangers/pipe supports (variables, constants, cryogenic supports cold shoes, hot shoes, mechanical/hydraulic snubbers, slide bearing plates), expansion joints/compensators (metallic, fabric, rubber, slip-type) and ASME Code Fabrication. PT&P has engineering drawing production stress analysis and full in-house finite element analysis that are used to prove designs. The design software is developed in-house and the calculations contrived are further checked using hand calculations.
Concentrate on the 4 dots in the middle of the picture for about 30 secs.
Then, take a look at the wall and start blinking (it also works mostly without blinking) your eyes.
You will see a circle of light..
continue looking at that circle...
what do you see?

A test shot to test out my Toyo 10x8. It looks like everything is working as it should.
trying to figure out the way to go. A work in progress and trying to figure out the right personality and progress of this one.
Any thoughts friends?

All the goodies used in a urine test.
Strobist: one SB800 bounced off ceiling. White reflector placed in front of set-up for small amount of fill. Also had ambient light coming from a window--camera right.
second test with the SB-600 with the radio trigger. A part of my work is making photographies for real estate. A recurrent problem is the huge luminosity difference between windows and back of the room, especially with an ultra wide angle.
In this house, it's reinforced by the veranda at left, much brighter than the living room in the right corner (upper image). I tried the SB-600 on-camera, but it doesn't solve anything. So I bought those cheap transceivers.
I left the SB-600 with an omni-bounce behind the stairs, and made a few trials and errors until I got a sufficiently good one - I was in a hurry, people were eating just outside the field. Composition is better in the first one.
An added benefit is the color temperature of the flash corresponds to the daylight, not incandescent like the upper one. I think I need a second flash behind me.
