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!! :)
Please do me a favor and follow me on my other social sites found below:
Generally quite dark compared to other orb web spiders and can be found close to water where their webs are spun on fencing, buildings and bridges and rarely on vegetation. Close to a river near me where I live a river flows under a road in a tunnel these Orbweb spiders can be found and seen in their webs close to the lights that help to light up the pathway where they have the best of both worlds, warmth from the lights where I have even seen the adults spiders here in February with snow outside and plus their prey such as moths and flies are attracted to the lights also. Its amazing to see their webs so close together and not eating each other, nature can be truly amazing at times.
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...

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.

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

Going into hospital for a knee replacement operation tomorrow 20th May so will having a rest from Flickr for 2 - 3 weeks.
Hope to catch up with you all at the beginning of June.
Stay safe my friends xx
Débora: Cadê o Flash, ele não tá saindo....

Yesterday I was looking at another user's awesome owl photos and t has been months since I've seen/heard any owls. So... I said to myself "it would be so awesome if I could just go outside and photograph an owl" I kid you not, around 3 am I hear a few deep owl hoots right across the street! I was so excited I could barely hold the camera straight :-) Thank you universe.

Played with off camera flash last evening and then played with filters and textures...a dark moody but colourful take on the tulips that once again fell into my grocery cart last week...amazing how carts have tulip magnets installed on them :)
The Havannah Flashes are fishing ponds in the Sankey Valley Park, between St Helens and Newton-le-Willows in Merseyside.

Rainy evening, shot with flash, taken for 'Saturday Self Challenge': "Weather with You"
An interesting week weather-wise, terrible storms with wind and deluges for a few days, followed by a sunny Wednesday which I snapped then wet and grey, and finally Friday the rain started again in the evening so I thought I'd try this . . .
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.
Flash off camera fired using ebay wizzards. Flash is placed to the left, with a dish in the sink with the tap dripping.
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.
I'm lighting up the dahlia with my flash, with the sun behind the clouds. This is in the dahlia row at Lexington Community Farm.

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).
Winter Storm Warning
Issued at 06:05 Thursday 22 December 2022
Major winter storm tonight through Saturday.
Hazards:
Snow, heavy at times, with total amounts near 15 cm by Friday afternoon.
Risk of freezing rain tonight into early Friday morning.
Reduced visibility in heavy snow and local blowing snow.
Flash freeze producing icy and slippery surfaces.
Timing:
This evening through Saturday.
Discussion:
Snow, heavy at times, is expected to begin this evening. Snow may become mixed with freezing rain or ice pellets tonight. This may serve to lower snowfall amounts. As a cold front pushes through the area on Friday afternoon, rapidly falling temperatures and wind gusts to 70 km/h will result in local blowing snow. Snow and local blowing snow will persist into Saturday.
Eugh - welcome to winter in Ontario. I imagine that Rudolph will be leading the reindeer on Christmas Eve because of the conditions.
I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr. Have a super day!

Saropogon pyrodes Alberts and Fisher, 2022. Found about 0.7 km ExNE of Amado in southern Arizona. Santa Cruz County, Arizona, USA.
Found this beauty as I was walking back to my car mid-afternoon on a very warm day. It was hanging around the low grasses at the periphery of a Pogonomyrmex ant nest in grassland type habitat on floodplain(?) of Santa Cruz River, which at the time was a dry wash. It alternated perches between the low grasses, short dead stems poking up from the soil, and the soil surface.
Single exposure, uncropped, handheld, in situ. Canon MT-24EX flash unit, Ian McConnachie diffuser.
