Cherry picture under the heavy cloud. I expected today to take photo of this lovely cherry Yohkoh, but it was clouday. So I played on some alternatives.
Yohkoh, 陽光, "Sun Light" is fairly new form, created about 50 years ago. The man who created this form had been a teacher. After the world war ll, he deadly regretted that he had promoted war and encouraged his students to engage in the war, and many of them killed in the war.
Then he determined to work for peace, and through Sakura, he planned to promote peace in the world. After years of trial, he finally created this lovely form.
The gorgeous red, pink color is from 寒緋桜, Kanhizakura, subtropical cherry from Taiwan, which also gives it to endure high temperature so that is can be sent and planted in hot places in the world.
Another parent is Amagi-yoshino, 天城吉野, the hybrid of Edohigan,江戸彼岸 and 大島桜, Oshima-zakura, the same as most popular Somei-yoshino, 染井吉野、but mother and father is changed each other.
So this Yohkoh's Latin name is, in formulation, Prunus ×yedoensis cv. Amagi-yoshino×P.campanulata, but too much tedious, so another way is, in most dirty, Prunus "Youkou", (^.^;;, ... descent would be, Prunus Xcampanulata 'Youkou' .
As most popularly planted and loved 染井吉野 has been recently found that its life expectancy is as long as only 60 years, perhaps because of its instability in genes as hybrid, new and replanting has been being changed to another forms. Yohkoh is one of them,

Have you seen my new flash gun? Look at the recharge speed! Do you want to see it again? Hey, come back! I haven't shown you the 27 other modes yet!

Strobist: One SB-700 flashgun, 12 flashes at camera on 1/16 during 10s exposure in a dark room; last flash at self from above; small aperture for starburst. Recommended soundtrack: Queen
Another that continues with the marine theme that I have been exploring recently.
This one features a 15 x 19mm labradorite cab with a blue streak on the bottom and a greenish yellow flash on top. The band is a 3/8" wide low dome sterling silver decorated with 14k gold granules to match the 14k wire frame on the bezel. The granules remind me of barnacles and of course the name of this ring refers to the flash that you sometimes see on the horizon as the sun sets-- if you are lucky!
This ring is a size 10 1/2.

In April 2020, as we were in lockdown, I tried to renew my approach of garden subjects by shooting available foliage and flowers in macro, but handheld and lit with a flash to freeze any movement as may have been caused by the breeze.
Thus, I placed one of my Phottix Pro Mitros+ cobra flashes (connected to a Godox PB960 battery pack) on a Manfrotto Nano stand and brought that with me as I walked around the bushes and alleys. On the camera was a Phottix Pro Odin II flash controller, which allowed me to set and trigger the flash remotely, without any cable, and that setup worked very well, from a technical standpoint, as the radio range is, I think, more than 100 meters and doesn’t care about walls or other obstacles as a line-of-sight infrared communication link would.
From an artistic standpoint, this new approach gave me some interesting results, I think. I will upload the dozen shots or so over the next few days, you can always let me know what you think in the comments... Thanks in advance!
Had a cool day today at a studio flash workshop in Birmingham. Was great to meet and chat to people who really enjoy their photography and to learn some new techniques at the same time! Should have asked really if we are allowed to release pictures of the model, hence the quick snap of one of the studio lights!
Not part of my weekly sp's. :)
Another flash test... this time bounced on the ceiling.
No layering done coz I'm laaaaazzzzy... so i just used the virtualPhotographer plugin

Andy recently purchased a lot of lighting equipment (flashes, stands, umbrellas, remotes, etc.) and we went to a garage to do some testing. Getting a shot in sync with my Canon, with his flashes on his Nikon was a pain lol. Just had to do a 3, 2, 1 count and use a reasonably long exposure. Fun none the less!

I thought I'll try something spacial here. A lot of technical stuff going on in this picture. 15 sec exposure with gradual magenta filter to make the sky pop out with a nice color. Shot a flash towards the camera to get the little star there on the left and to light up the foreground and then quickly painted the dude in the center with a flashlight. The dark area behind the dude is actually my shadow during the long exposure.
Hope you like!
Another feature that the Vela flash has is a strobe mode. It can put out up to six flashes spaced from 10 to 250usec. Years ago I spent a lot of time making a deal delay flash controller that would fire my two microflash units in sequence with an adjustable delay. I never found a good photo to make with the set-up so I moved on.
Part of the issue is that you get the best results by using a non-reflective background because as the action moves the light from consecutive strobes will bleach out the earlier exposure making the objects look like ghosts.
So for this photograph I set up a hefty razor blade and shot a small lead ball at the blade. You can see how the impact torqued the blade and you can clearly see how the lead ball is cut neatly into two slices that fly apart.
The flash duration is 2usec and the separation is a guess at about 150usec.
I used my new D750 for this shot because it has much lower noise compared to the 5D Mk II.
This is the same stupid shot done with a microflash.

A third hot weekend in store. It's getting very old.
Cheers.
