It's been so long since I've uploaded a picture to Flickr, I almost forgot how! I hope all my Flickr pals are doing well!
Here's a 60 year old remote control to my 1955 Zenith Touraine Flash-Matic tv set.
I have a rather strong dislike of using flash but on a dark afternoon like today I thought I give it a try using a 'point and shoot' camera with built in flash.

Burrowing Owl
Cape Coral, Florida
This was taken at sunrise near the end of April 2011. This one was keeping her eye on me the whole time but allowed me all of the photographs that I wanted. These little birds are not too hard to photograph. I probably could have used just a little fill flash here but the light was beautiful on that morning.
After processing, the delicate gold inflorescence with flash is breathtaking, preserving details. Just for comparison, I have included the same White-Chested Emerald without flash, again almost a different bird in appearance. Without the flash the namesake emerald colors predominate. I hope this drives home the point that you need to take photographs both with and without flash to fully represent any particular bird species.

- www.kevin-palmer.com - I love seeing lightning under the stars and it doesn't happen very often around here. This storm was producing near continuous flashes and I haven't seen anything like it this year.
So if you haven't noticed yet I recently deleted my Flash I posted on Friday. The reason for that is that I want to properly start a new Flash series, (With origin story, etc.) So I am planning out a new Flash series (Even thought the last series was like 1 issue) I hope you understand. New Flash series coming soon! Probably mid/end of this week maybe delayed to next weekend.
“Lizard Whisperer” & “Within Without” complete with flashing lights - both of the same JKPP muse Mariah for Julia Kay's Portrait Party!, Plus my portrait of Bernie & a touch of Maureen, at the top!
Inspired by some of my friends flash work, I thought i would spend some time practising. It was selfie time!!!
I was playing with two light set ups. Although I couldn't take this to the street, it will be workable in a modified format.
The key light is camera right in a soft box and a rogue flashbender diffusion panel to get some double diffusion going on. It is at 1/4 power. I have a black board camera left next to me and facing the light to add some shadow to the left hand side of my face (my walls are cream coloured and very close and I was getting too much reflection).
I have got a second flash in a diffusion cap and with a brown gel on it bouncing off the ceiling (I went for brown to match the wood colour of the environment). I have also blocked it from hitting me with a foam board. Power is at 1/8th and this was acting as a light for the background and some general fill.
I used my relatively crappy Nikon D3100 to have something to focus on and to add something else to the picture. I haven't quite got it focused on my eyes but for a selfie it will do.
There was very little done in lightroom, I think I mainly increased the contrast. In photoshop I reduced the hotspot on my forehead, sharpened the image, desaturated a little and increased the blues in the shadows in colour balance.
Quite happy with how it turned out, given the terrible model who had no dress sense and was terrible at being directed :-)
Both flahses were Nissin Di866 v2
A flash of blue and my first ever Kingfisher photo and the first I've ever seen on the River

Trying my MINOLTA 9000 AF camera again loaded with fresh ILFORD FP4+ TESTING the MINOLTA Program Flash 2800AF on 'PROGRAM Mode' and also testing a batch of Crawley Formula FX-37 diluted 1+9 to rate FP4+ at 200 ASA. RESULT : the negative was DENSE but I got 200ASA out of the FP4+ OK -- I think not all the 'Exposure Modes' on the 9000 are working as I have to set 400ASA on the 9000 and 200 ASA on a Weston Master V meter to get same exposure.
Update 2/06/20: Looks likely this wood duck had migrated on, happy I got the photos of while it was here even if I took too many. :)
Still waiting for sun but had to grab a bunch of photos of the visiting wood duck even though a very heavily overcast morning with flat light. All are cropped and have noise that erodes detail but saving just in case it leaves. :) Hoping to get closer at some point but it is very skittish. Sorry for so many of the same wood duck. :) More to come.
I havn't posted a BW for a while so I though I would mix it up.
This is Flash Lake, one of the Lightning Lakes in Manning Provincial Park. I took this shot early last year when Kristen and I hiked up to Frosty Mountain.
Hozomeen Mountain can be seen in the distance.
Beautiful bridge is a part of breathtaking Plaza de Espana
as it's difficult not to be flashed by strong flood lighting so I had to take one on
DIY Flash Bracket
Ever wish for more flash power or faster flash cycle times through your umbrella?
Don’t have $100 to spend on the Lastolite TriFlash adapter? Nothing wrong with Lastolite products. They are very well made, but a student or beginning photographer may not have the extra cash for it.
If you already have a couple of extra cold shoes in your collection, you can spend about $10 for a 6 inch mending plate and a couple of 14/-20 bolts, nuts, and washers and make your own.
Strobes info:
Two Einstein strobes with softboxes. One on either side of the camera angled to minimize reflections from the smooth shiny plastic parts.
Triggered with PocketWizard.
