It was kind of surreal seeing the spontaneous flashes but no following thunder. Just like nature put itself on mute.
My plant ID app says this may be a begonia. I'll have to pay more attention to the info placards on the plants. This was in the greenhouse at the Lyman Estate.
Catching up from the past couple of weeks a collection of images taken since the 6th September.
Having worked up to Nevile Hill from Derby RTC top and tailed with a 73 on a test train, 37421 returns south through Rotherham Masborough, being out of gauge for running on the planned route between Barnsley and Meadowhall on a night test train that night. In the end the test train didn't run either,

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!
We're Here: Flash Nation
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
Taken when the snow fall turned into a bit of a blizzard against a spotlight, tried with and without flash. With flash gave it a much better effect.
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!

A London Fire Brigade fire boat based at the Lambeth River Fire Station, seen participating in the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant in 2012.
At the time, London Fire Brigade maintained one operational fire boat to respond to incidents and to support the operational crews from its land-based stations. The brigade had a second boat (Firedart) which was used for training and as a reserve when the duty boat needed servicing.
Both were built by Almarintec of Northumberland in 1998. They were driven by two Hamilton water jets. Each unit provides 500 litres per second of thrust being powered by 2 x Volvo TAMD 63 engines producing 370 hp at 2800 rev/min.
The fireboat’s rescue capabilities included three inflatable mud mats, a ‘Jason’s cradle’ for picking up casualties from the river and a bow ramp which can be lowered for beaching and landing on the foreshore. The fire-fighting facilities included a monitor which could deliver water from the Thames at 1850 litres per minute at 10 bars. In addition, the boats had two delivery outlets which could supply water via a hose ashore arrangement for land crews. A separate Hughes noble ejector pump was available for “pumping out” vessels taking on water. The large stable deck area was an ideal working platform for casualty care, and on occasions casualties were even been lowered onto it by helicopter.
Both boats were retired in 2022, being replaced by ‘Tanner’ and ‘Errington,’ two new Welsh-built boats that are faster, can pump more water and are bigger than Firedart and Fire Flash. The names commemorate Harry Errington, the winner of a George Cross, and Gillian Tanner, who was the only female firefighter awarded a George Medal, both during WWII. The new boats' numbers, H23A and H23B, are in memory of two London firefighters, Adam Meere and Billy Faust, who died attending a fire in Bethnal Green in 2004.
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
...and I #@$#@@#% look like airbrushed. :((
so i was playing around with my camera this evening when all of a sudden i see these flashes go off, lighting up the room.
turns out Danbo found one of my Cactus V4 triggers and hooked herself up!
Lighting stuff: 3 flashes with radio triggers.

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!
