I just kinda came up w/ this last minute, and it worked pretty well, so long as the umbrella stand wasn't getting knocked over by wind :P
If you use pocketwizards, but don't have enough, you can put the PW on only one flash, and put the other in SU-4 mode, and you'll still get both to fire!
Used for these set ups:
This was a hard hike, went back to the car for the chewing tobacco, when I got to the point where I turned around at to get the tobacco, I realized I forgot to eat some potassium pills and was too lazy to go back again so I became dehydrated even though there was plenty of water.
The two 4WD vehicles made it through the canyon -- nother person in a jeep told me. They agreed that the flash flood "really changed things down there." I told them, "I'm glad U made it through." Lotsa ppl break down or get stuck down there.
Not sure about the campsite; if it belonged to the two 4-Wheelers. Not sure about the quad either, the muffler was cold -- I don't think they left the rifle there. There was another quad there too. The quads were at the hike's turning-around-point.
A few weeks ago it rained three or four inches in Redington Pass. I knew there would be changes in the canyon but didn't expect my fav tree, which was prolly 50-years old to become uprooted.
Got home at about 7pm, took a bath & went to the Club Crawl with a friend, not any good pics from the event . . . I was sooo tired and regretted wearing high heels . . . my feet were sooo sore by the end of the night.
Map link shows where the 4WD road enters the canyon and where my fave tree used to be.
This pic has notes, click the pic and mouse-over to see them.
Did a speed and flash position test this morning- just to show how easy these are, took the 14 shots that make up these pics in eight minutes including a flash dismantle/reposition. The first 4 shots are with the flash in the position I started with last year which ends up low and to the left- the idea was to minimise the flash reflection on the drops- think it succeeded. Last two shots are with the flash in my normal "macro" position- they are different -same drop but I moved the flower a bit behind them :)

This is a screencapture of a cool background (for just the background check this pic and this other one in blue) together with a flash clock I made that tells the time through colors. I kept this set as my wallpaper for a really long time and I still like it.
The clock, an experiment, works as follows: At midnight it starts all grey, and throughout the next 10 minutes a (random) rectangle changes color (smoothly) to red. This repeats until at exactly 1AM the clock is all red, now every 10 min. a rectangle changes to blue, and so on.
There are 6 colors (in order): grey, red, blue, green, yellow and pink. So at 6AM, when the clock is all pink, what happens? It starts all over again, now every 10 min. a rectangle changes to grey and at 7AM all of them will be grey. This goes on and on, resulting in a day of 4 cycles: 0-6AM, 6AM-12AM, 12AM-6PM, 6PM-0.
No, you can't tell the time exactly just by looking at the clock. First, any state of the clock can represent 4 different times (as the example in the next paragraph illustrates). Besides this, you can't really tell exactly what minute it is since only every 10 minutes the clock changes state clearly. So until a rectangle completes changing color, you're left to guess at the exact time by checking how faded into the new color it already is. It is a context clock and in this sense it reminds me of the 120-words Toki Pona language.
Example: The pictured clock show's that it's either 3:30AM, 9:30AM, 3:30PM or 9:30PM because green is the fourth color and yellow the fifth one.
I like the clock because I think it's beautiful and simple (though difficult to explain in words), and because I like the idea of time as color and time as cycles (4 every day).
If it sounds interesting to you (it is), I'll be happy to send it to you.
Messing around with the lighting gear tonight. No model, so had to "improvise".
Not easy in a kitchen and just an old man as a model!
Ya era hora de poner algunas fotos del invento. Aqui pueden ver dos vistas generales. La parte interior esta pintada de blanco para ayudar a la distribución de la luz. El plastico que tengo puesto en el frontal es provisional a falta de encontrar algo mejor. Aun sigo teniendo algunos problemas con la distribucion de la luz.
Strobist Info:
EN: 1 strobe thru white umbrella right, 1 bare thru blue gel for the background.
ES: 1 1 flash a traves de paraguas blanco, 1 flash desnudo con gel azul para el fondo.
Weather cancelled my trip back today so I took advantage of an extra evening in Florida and did another sunset. Images and an animation of the omega sunset and subsequent green flash.
Three different brands.
Three different lenses.
One exploding balloon with some flour.
One flash lighting the scene.
Many different colors.
See the comments for another frozen moment with four cameras and an animated gif!
Highspeed photography experiment with some friends. Hand-fired flash, cameras set to a long exposure of around 15 seconds in a dark room.
Upper left is Canon.
Lower is Nikon.
Right is Sony.
PS and Topaz treatments.
Press "F" for large ;)
Thanks for looking!
Inspired by a discussion on strobist about non-hotshoe flash mounts, I decided to take a stab at it. I used a kindly donated piece of smoke coloured plexiglass which I drilled holes in and screwed to an umbrella mount which I already had. Between the mount and the plate I made, I put a piece of elastic Velcro strapping that I burn holes in with a soldering iron for the screws to go through. I then took a large piece of compressed felt footing, the kind for the bottom of furniture legs, and covered the top where the screws were. Then I used contact adhesive to attach a piece of red foam core onto the felt for grip on the flash body. It sure does make the flash hit the center of the umbrella better than using the same style mount with the hots shoe holder. I can also put 2 flashes on the plate horizontally but stacked side by side vertically.

Strobist: YN560 on umbrella bracket @ 1/32 power. YN565 @ 1/8 bounce off wall camera left. RF622 triggers.
I had to have one! Shame we had to leave early because of Richards nephew being not well, but enjoyed the first part of the evening.
Details shows hole for Canon 430EX flash head.
DIY Home-made ring flash.
There are many instructions to make one of these to be found on the internet and on flickr.
I sugest you google " DIY ring flash" and look at all the ideas.
I decided to make one - I think my idea to use a plastic bowl gives a quick and neat end product.
This is still a work in progress - I must still buy the TTL cable and make the bracket to hold the camera/bowl/flash together as a unit. Finished product will follow.
1X 20cm(8") translucent plastic tupperware-type bowl cost R17.00 ($2.50) (includes lid)
1X piece 1mm ductile aluminium for cone
1X piece 100mm (4") plastic drainage pipe
1X roll aluminium tape cost R24.00 ($3.00) (any automotive shop)
1X idea on how to make cone
1. Cut bowl and lid to suit pipe used ( I used a pair of dividers - worked like a dream)
2. Make cone to suit pipe and bowl size
3. Trace paper template for head of flash.
4. Hold flash against bowl, decide where the hole for head will be and stick template onto bowl with craft glue.
5. Cut out hole for flash (I used the small blade on a swiss-army knife and trimmed and cleaned up the fit with a soldering iron).
6.Cover inside of bowl, pipe and cone with aluminium tape . . work slowly, small piece at a time.
See the build on my phoyostream:
I FINALLY found my lost flash! It was in a bag, in another bag, in a drawer in my room. I thought I wasn't going to ever find it, but I'm very happy that I did.
Also, I've been noticing a lot of people putting "SOOC" lately. I know that it's a good feeling to have a shot come out perfect without having to edit it at all, but does that make the edited photos any less special? That's my question to you guys. Give me your opinion, I'm really interested in hearing what you all have to say! :)

Very nice Strobist Flash. Some even say the ideal strobist flash. Flash power can be reduced to 1/256th in 1/3rd stops. Guide Number is 40. Ready sound and zoom reflector.
Strobist info: Braun Ultrablitz 34 and Sunpak 36DX in a reflective umbrella from left. Minolta 200x and Bauer 5036SCA bounced for back and right side. Triggered with Yongnuo RF-603.

This is an unfinished demo for a computer graphics class that I took at SFSU a couple of years ago.
The music was stolen from a New Orleans Klezmer All Stars CD that I found at a local library.
The actual flash animation sucks a lot less than this resized and overcompressed AVI version does.
Envie de m'écarter, pour une fois,du photographiquement correct. Ca éclabousse.
