no flash, so movement is captured, but faces are rather blurred, nice strobo-light effect, though. I don't know, which one is better.
As most of you are now aware, the new Pocketwizard Flex tt5 has comms problems due to the RF noise coming from the Canon 580ex and MK II flashes. To solve the problem, PW started to give away (Free of charge) the new AC5 Soft Shield, however this is only valid for US residentes only. Well, since I dont live in the USA, I started to do my homework and realised that copper actually blocks a big porcentage of the RF noise coming from the flash. So I headed to the local Art Shop (Riot art shop located at Westfieds in Burwood) and got a copper/aluminum sheet for $30 dollars. cut a few pieces and taped it to the flash and BINGO! problem solved. Without this DIY soft shield, I was lucky to get 15 meters distance from the flash, with the soft shield, I stopped testing at around 150mts away (I guess that is plenty of distance for what I want)
This is not a pretty solution, but at least makes me happy, Im now planning to make a sock for it. (will post photos once done) You can see the test Here
Clique surpresa. Aqui a posição foi sem querer mesmo!
Strobist: 3 flashes. O 580 EX II com um Ray Flash funcionando como beauty dish à direita bem perto da modelo. Um 430 EX II com um Softbox III da Lumiquest à esqueda e meio atrás do modelo (que eu acho que estava mais longe, por isso a luz mais dura). Um 420 EX no chão, apontado para o fundo branco atrás dela.
For this weeks Never Professional group challenge 'Graffiti'.
I finally managed to get out and take some new pictures for a challenge!
I've taken pictures of graffiti before and so this time I wanted to do something different which led me to have a go with some off camera flash.
I wanted to add some urban grit style as well as bring out the textures. I'm really pleased with how these first attempts came out, shot without flash the scene looked nothing like this.
It's not the best example of artistic graffiti, unfortunately the bridge I was heading for had been painted over!

Who remembers Flash's field off Bradford Place in Penarth. Now built over by retirement flats. Once a favourite playground behing the ymin woods.
Featuring Chris
One flash located towards the right of the frame, filling in the light on his back and the wall, while another flash fills in the front and the bushes and ground. Fired via radio triggers

The flash with the heads mounted on the reversed and gutted rear lens cap.
The system of velcro actually works really well and gives me lots of options for mounting the flash on other setups.
I've made one other velcro thing for my lens hood of the 70-300.
The next photo is from this setup.
The only big issue here is that the flash guts can't handle the current and one of the little containers of smoke broke, letting out that precious blue smoke and now it doesn't work :(
However, I did have a much larger and older flash gun just sitting around. So I ripped out the bulb and wired the cable into it, so it should be more reliable and sturdy.
Overall, I am impressed with this little job. It went well and the final product was as good as I expected it to be.
My next effort will be better and prettier, this will do for now.
All plugged in and powered up!
You can't quite make out the ready light unfortunately but you should be able to see the LCD screen.

What even is that one? Is that the Merode Altarpiece? No, now that I think of it, it's a different one.
EDIT: It's the Ghent Altarpiece. A+++ for me. :)
Flash durations for an ancient garden-variety thyristor flash, and, for comparison, the Pentax K100D's internal flash. Durations measured by the scope at the 20% of peak amplitude points.
