Flash Follies
View allAll Photos Tagged flash
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.
Thanks for taking the time to take a look at my photos, and as always, your views, comments, faves, and support are greatly appreciated!! Have a great week ahead everybody!! :)

Robin [Erithacus rubecula]
This is Flash, the wee female robin...just getting ready to fly off.
She has been appearing at my feeders at The Pixies for months, now, and I noticed she had damaged her left wing, in March. She seems to be having no adverse effects, thank goodness. When I call her name, she appears for some special wee bird nuggets. I know she has been feeding youngsters but I haven’t seen them, yet...
At The Pixies
South Carrick Hills
SW Scotland
A large and very striking yellow and black leafhopper which is unmistakable. The black patterning is variable and rarely the forewings are entirely yellow. The wings are distinctly shorter than the abdomen in females.
It is fairly common throughout the UK and found widely in grasslands and scrub.
Adult: June to October
Length 5.5-6.5 mm
Lightning on the 10th of July, in Poole Bay Dorset
I tried using my 70-200L as it was on the camera, but it was a bit too long (too small a fov) but I got lucky with this one I pointed it to the last flash and got this.
European Robin [Erithacus rubecula]
This wee Robin has white flashes on each wing. I think this is quite rare as I’ve never seen one like it (even having trawled the University of Google). She is usually first to appear when I’m filling up the winter feed - the peanut butter mixture - and sings as she’s sitting waiting for the all clear... A lovely little soul.
Here, she’s sitting waiting in the rain. It’s a really dull and wet day! I hope she is going to have little baby robins with this amazing white flash.

SW Scotland
(My Olympus died. Just DIED! I’m getting a replacement, hopefully, tomorrow...For now, I’m using this monstrous super-heavy Canon/Tamron combo...)

Hope to catch up with you all at the beginning of June.
Stay safe my friends xx
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!

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?

Reavieling this now since I have some struggle with making the helmet and are very busy with studies so I don't have that much time to work on him a.t.m.
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.

After a year of it sitting on my shelf I decided to watch a few tutorials and do some flash photography practices
Another shot from last session with Alessandra, this time featuring an outlandish look with the aid of coloured lighting.
Strobist info: primary blue gelled sb700 shot through rapid box octa xl as fill. Sangria coloured rim light on a stripbox, and a tiny Apollo pushed in close with a cerulean blue gelled flash for key.
Shot with a Nikon D700 and the Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 lens.
A hood used for light painting. This small black metal hood is attached to the end of a tiny Q flashlight. This tool created by Harold Ross is used for targeting light to a certain area when LIGHT PAINTING an object or scene.

Flash off camera fired using ebay wizzards. Flash is placed to the left, with a dish in the sink with the tap dripping.
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).
Collage formado por varias fotos de agua con flashes de colores, quizás habria sido mejor una a una, bueno, con paciencia lo háré
And thank you my sweet friends for all the tricks and tips that you give me !! Love you all ♥ and specially Natsu who helped me started... ♥
I used to have a pair of Dunlop Green Flash. I used to go to school with my shoes and once round the corner get my green flashes on, rebel eh!
Another "not a moose" photo from our latest moose safari.
Moose tend to do most of their feeding during early mornings and late evenings. As the later morning sun warms things up, they tend to retreat to deep shade where they nap and ruminate. That's my que to seek other wildlife photo ops. So we head to nearby Arapaho National Wildlife Refuge. By mid-August, many migrating birds have left the refuge, heading to their wintering territories. But this baker's dozen White-faced Ibis flock had yet to depart. This is actually part of a larger flock of about 40 birds.
These birds were pretty far away, and this is a pretty big crop, but I like the flash of iridescent color on some of their wings.
On my morning walk today I was enjoying the crisp clear air and colorful Sycamore leaves when a Flicker flew by me flashing his brilliant salmon colored wings. What a delight!
