Flash Photography
View allAll Photos Tagged Flashes
I spent 2 days at the North Rim of Grand Canyon and it rained most of the time. I chased the lightning here for 3 hours and took over 1000 boltless photos under an umbrella during my endeavor. Trying to capture lightning without a trigger trap is a huge waste of time, but when your successful just once it makes it all the more rewarding. I tried several different setups using continuous shutter mode with long exposures and then switched to shorter exposures on slow shooting continuous mode and thought that I had failed. When I later reviewed my photos back at the campground I found that I had captured one photo with a strike included. I guess it was luck or just persistence that rewarded me. I also used a second camera to capture video of the storm and the awesome thunderstorm that accompanied the storm. I'm not sure if I will post any of the video but it was nice to have a personal record of the awesomeness of the storms the frequent the Grand Canyon.
If you have any questions about this photo or about photography in general, I will do my best to help, just post a comment or send me a Flickr mail and I will respond as quickly as possible.

Gordon’s alive?!
Also tried the sci-fi movie ‘Sphere’ but came back to this as I can remember little from the other movie. Honestly, I could’ve sworn that the dominant colour of the film poster, costume etc was yellow hence the background of this shot. Looks like it was red.
Backup movie Flashdance.
Hi everyone, I hope the holiday season has been all dreamy and happy and good! I’m in catch up mode … I’ve done nothing but watch football the last few months because, well … football is life! Go Dawgs! Sugar Bowl bound! Am I excited? Am I an obnoxiously passionate football loving proud UGA alum? Yes, I am! Woof, baby, woof! ❤️🐶🐾🏈
I did a black and white rendition of this photo a while back on PF. I liked the mood of it in color as well, and let’s be honest, it’s still sorta grey and black because, no news flash here, I love grey and black (and red!)! And this skirt, these leopard tights. Yes, please! SL fashion creators, you rock!
Sending lots of love and happiest of happy wishes for the year ahead! xoxo ❤️🍷
So, the season premiere of the Flash Season 3 sucked, but episode two gives me a bit more hope that this will be different from Arrow Season 3. But, we can only hope.

What did you guys think of the two recent episodes?
A peaceful and beneficial garden visitor, this is a black and yellow mud dauber (Sceliphron caementarium) wasp.
Even though they have bright warning colours, these wasps are not at all aggressive like other wasps. They are solitary parasitoid wasps that build nests out of mud.
After building a cell of the nest, the female wasp captures several spiders. The captured prey are stung and paralyzed before being placed in the nest (usually 6-15 per cell), and then a single egg is deposited on the prey within each cell. The wasp then seals the cell with a thick mud plug. After finishing a series of cells, she leaves and does not return. The larva spins a cocoon and pupates. Eventually, the hatching larva will eat the prey and emerge from the nest.
Stings are rare due to their usually peaceful nature, however nests are aggressively defended.
The little kinglet, quick and bright,
A golden flash, then out of sight.
Hidden within the leafy green,
The smallest crown that I have seen.
It took some patience to get this photo! Watching this hyperactive golden-crowned kinglet bouncing through the bushes was a real challenge. But the reward was this shot, capturing a rare moment where its fiery orange and yellow crown was visible, perfectly framed by the warm colors of the autumn foliage. It's a reminder that good things come to those who wait—especially when photographing these tiny, fast-moving birds.
Thank you for visiting. As always, your views, faves and comments are very much appreciated!
An old shot from 2018 as I was experimenting with water drop photography. Used a flash to freeze the action.
The Havannah Flashes are fishing ponds in the Sankey Valley Park, between St Helens and Newton-le-Willows in Merseyside.
A lot of people out the night before St. Patrick's day in Dublin, but mostly tourists. The girl jumped out into the frame of the camera as I took the shot. The image came out better than I thought.

Flash off camera fired using ebay wizzards. Flash is placed to the left, with a dish in the sink with the tap dripping.
If you see the auroras pulsate and flash across the sky and your neck is stiff and sore, then you know you've had an exceptional night under the stars.

I met this young man and his family at the fishing piers out at Robert Moses State Park yesterday (just across the Causeway from Captree). I liked his look and tattoos and he graciously agreed to let me take his portrait when I asked. It was right after this photo was taken that he went to check his crabbing nets and found the mother crab holding her baby. He immediately released the crabs back into the water because the mother was losing her grip on her baby. Awwwwww....... what a nice guy!
I"m taking these portraits to show my photography instrructor to ascertain if the errors I see can be corrected in a program called Photoshop Elements. I think it's time I graduated from Picnik. Or maybe I should have used the flash.....
Fog was lifting but it was getting dark. I had a panel light to the left and the flash turned down. From my early days with a flash, Gary Fong always said to have the ISO at 400 when using a diffuser. I had to change camera and lens as the focus assist light doesn't hit the macro subject with the 105mm lens (lens is too long and working distance is too short).
