Flash Follies
View allAll Photos Tagged Flash
I spent 2 days at the North Rim of Grand Canyon and it rained most of the time. I chased the lightning here for 3 hours and took over 1000 boltless photos under an umbrella during my endeavor. Trying to capture lightning without a trigger trap is a huge waste of time, but when your successful just once it makes it all the more rewarding. I tried several different setups using continuous shutter mode with long exposures and then switched to shorter exposures on slow shooting continuous mode and thought that I had failed. When I later reviewed my photos back at the campground I found that I had captured one photo with a strike included. I guess it was luck or just persistence that rewarded me. I also used a second camera to capture video of the storm and the awesome thunderstorm that accompanied the storm. I'm not sure if I will post any of the video but it was nice to have a personal record of the awesomeness of the storms the frequent the Grand Canyon.
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead everybody!! :)

Robin [Erithacus rubecula]
This is Flash, the wee female robin...just getting ready to fly off.
She has been appearing at my feeders at The Pixies for months, now, and I noticed she had damaged her left wing, in March. She seems to be having no adverse effects, thank goodness. When I call her name, she appears for some special wee bird nuggets. I know she has been feeding youngsters but I haven’t seen them, yet...

Lightning on the 10th of July, in Poole Bay Dorset
I tried using my 70-200L as it was on the camera, but it was a bit too long (too small a fov) but I got lucky with this one I pointed it to the last flash and got this.
European Robin [Erithacus rubecula]
This wee Robin has white flashes on each wing. I think this is quite rare as I’ve never seen one like it (even having trawled the University of Google). She is usually first to appear when I’m filling up the winter feed - the peanut butter mixture - and sings as she’s sitting waiting for the all clear... A lovely little soul.
Here, she’s sitting waiting in the rain. It’s a really dull and wet day! I hope she is going to have little baby robins with this amazing white flash.

(My Olympus died. Just DIED! I’m getting a replacement, hopefully, tomorrow...For now, I’m using this monstrous super-heavy Canon/Tamron combo...)

Yesterday I was looking at another user's awesome owl photos and t has been months since I've seen/heard any owls. So... I said to myself "it would be so awesome if I could just go outside and photograph an owl" I kid you not, around 3 am I hear a few deep owl hoots right across the street! I was so excited I could barely hold the camera straight :-) Thank you universe.

So, the season premiere of the Flash Season 3 sucked, but episode two gives me a bit more hope that this will be different from Arrow Season 3. But, we can only hope.

What did you guys think of the two recent episodes?
Flash, one of our resident male Anna's Hummingbirds, sipping nectar. His flower of choice is our Mystic Spires Salvia flowers. Photo taken in our backyard in Camas, Washington.
An early evening thunderstorm moves over Longmont Colorado. Oddly several planes were flying through the storm, resembling small meteor streaks here. This storm occurred a week before my previous lightning/ t-storm post.
An old shot from 2018 as I was experimenting with water drop photography. Used a flash to freeze the action.
Reavieling this now since I have some struggle with making the helmet and are very busy with studies so I don't have that much time to work on him a.t.m.

(Copyright © 2017 K Harwin)
This took longer to set up then to photograph. If you do have ago at this, don't forget to add water or the refraction will not work.
Refraction is the change in direction of wave propagation due to a change in its
transmission medium, in this case water.

And thank you my sweet friends for all the tricks and tips that you give me !! Love you all ♥ and specially Natsu who helped me started... ♥
The river picks up the light and reflections from that lovely sky, the sun casting a flash of light through the trees as it slowly sinks behind the far hills.
My longish exposure smooths the river surface to enhance the reflections, you can make out the sun on the river and the ruffled surface in places where debris was floating by.
Lowena update, She took a turn for the worse on Saturday with another visit to the vet.and yet another visit this morning.
The silly dog ate something that made here so ill plus she had an ear infection, fortunately she was well enough for us to make the long drive there and back to Bristol, three hundred miles there and back was a long day for all of us but we got a lot sorted with Jane`s aunts affairs and hopefully we will not have to go again.
Now the washing machine has decided it has a blockedge which I cannot sort so an engineer has come and taken it apart to sort it, arghhhhh lol
