Flash in Face
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.

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.
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?
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.
........that's how I felt when I first stood in front of this building.
I've driven past it many times on my way to Germany, and I even saw it from the bridge, small and inconspicuous, standing by the fjord.
But I never expected the view that unfolds when you stand in front of it.
I find this building unusual and beautiful...........

........war ich, als ich das erste Mal vor diesem Gebäude stand.
Vorbei gefahren, auf der Durchreise nach Deutschland, bin ich schon sehr oft, habe es von der Brücke aus auch gesehen, klein und unscheinbar am Fjord stehend.
Was für ein Anblick sich aber eröffnet, wenn man davor steht, habe ich nicht erwartet.
Ungewöhnlich und wunderschön finde ich dieses Gebäude...........
Flash off camera fired using ebay wizzards. Flash is placed to the left, with a dish in the sink with the tap dripping.
The morning of the day it was cloudy.
However, if I waited for a while, the flash appeared from under the clouds.

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).
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 !
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!
One thing I wanted to spend a bit of time doing while up in Ardnamurchan was camera trapping. Using a PIR at a selected spot, it triggers the camera based on movement. It gives a unique perspective, enabling you to capture photos you wouldn’t otherwise be able to.
In this case I was keen to show the Pine Marten that were visiting the cottage I was staying at in their forest environment. A little bit of fill flash was needed as it's quite dark in the wood, but I'm pleased with these.
