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!! :)

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...)

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.

I like to get out everyday especially on these dark winter days. no matter how cold. I am an experienced winter bike rider, but sometimes even I miss calculate. Today I stayed out too long, and the bike ride home was a bit scary. So glad to have a warm home to come back to.
Thank-you to all who take the time to comment on my photos it is greatly 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.
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).
Inspired by watching a Gavin Hoey tutorial on "Splash Flash" photography I experimented with a variety of setups and this is the best of them. What a mess to clean up!
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.....
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!
This flower reminds me, first, of an old fashioned flash bulb, on the old Kodak cameras. The kind that looked like a big cube, and would rotate 3 times between shots. When I was a youth that was the camera I used. Adjacent to Phipps conservatory is Carnegie Mellon University, and one of the buildings used to be called the flash bulb because it looked like that: a big cube flash bulb. When you would look inside any of the sides of the flash cube, the element or filament looked like this flower, with a hood to reflect the light.
Secondly, this reminds me of an indiginous plant to Western Pennsylvania called the Jack in the Pulpit, which comes out in our woods in the spring. I look forward to spring !
While on holiday, been playing with remote flash. Put the flash under the table ( which has some hole decoration on it), put 2 glass model and shoot. I kind of like the effect.

This stonefly was only 8 or 9 mm. long, not counting antennae. It had been raining earlier, and if you look closely, there's a raindrop, maybe half a mm. in size, on its head. If you look even more closely, you can see my flash diffuser reflected in it.
Here is a photo of that elusive optical phenomenon known as the green flash. It usually occurs around sunset and can be enhanced when a mirage stretches the sun to produce discs above the true sun. The light is refracted through the atmosphere and green is the last visible colour of the spectrum before the light disappears. It is usually a short-lived phenomenon, hence the term flash. I apologise to all those who view my photos that are afflicted by red/green colour-blindness as I understand the green upper stripe looks just the same as the orange-yellow lower stripes. The gene for red/green colour-blindness is recessive, and is carried on the X sex chromosome. In mammals, males have just a single X chromosome, and an empty Y chromosome, whereas females have a pair of X chromosomes. If males carry a copy of this gene it will manifest itself and the carrier will be red/green colour-blind. But if females carry a copy, its effects will be masked by a normal (dominant) gene on the other X chromosome, and their vision will be normal. Females would need a copy of the colour-blindness gene on both X chromosomes to be afflicted by colour-blindness. This is why colour-blindness is so much more frequent in males.
The iPhone 4 rear camera, now has a flash. A really, really, really bright flash.
And in keeping with flashing and fridays, there's a wee bit of fur for you too.
