Had a cool day today at a studio flash workshop in Birmingham. Was great to meet and chat to people who really enjoy their photography and to learn some new techniques at the same time! Should have asked really if we are allowed to release pictures of the model, hence the quick snap of one of the studio lights!
Another feature that the Vela flash has is a strobe mode. It can put out up to six flashes spaced from 10 to 250usec. Years ago I spent a lot of time making a deal delay flash controller that would fire my two microflash units in sequence with an adjustable delay. I never found a good photo to make with the set-up so I moved on.
Part of the issue is that you get the best results by using a non-reflective background because as the action moves the light from consecutive strobes will bleach out the earlier exposure making the objects look like ghosts.
So for this photograph I set up a hefty razor blade and shot a small lead ball at the blade. You can see how the impact torqued the blade and you can clearly see how the lead ball is cut neatly into two slices that fly apart.
The flash duration is 2usec and the separation is a guess at about 150usec.
I used my new D750 for this shot because it has much lower noise compared to the 5D Mk II.
This is the same stupid shot done with a microflash.

A third hot weekend in store. It's getting very old.
Cheers.
Flash es un superhéroe de DC Comics que posee la habilidad de una rapidez sobrehumana. Fue creado por Gardner Fox y Harry Lampert, y su primera aparición fue en Flash Comics N°1 (1940). Flash es conocido también por su apodo: "El Corredor Escarlata".
A lo largo de la historia, cuatro personas diferentes han usado la identidad de Flash: Jay Garrick (1940-presente), Barry Allen (1956-1986), Wally West (1987-2006, 2007-presente) y Bart Allen (2006-2007). Estos cuatro individuos poseen una rapidez sobrehumana, la cual incluye la habilidad de correr a gran velocidad, reflejos sobrehumanos y la capacidad de violar algunas leyes de la física.
En abril de 2008, la edición especial DC Universe Nº 0 presenta a un narrador anónimo quien inicialmente se presenta a sí mismo como "Everything", y que al parecer es el mismísimo Barry Allen sacrificado en 1986.
Todos los Flash poseen ciertas habilidades comunes, como moverse, pensar y reaccionar a velocidades sobrehumanas. Además todos ellos poseen la capacidad de vibrar tan rápidamente que pueden atravesar materia sólida, por ejemplo, muros.
Barry Allen posee absoluto control sobre sus moléculas: Al ser transformado una vez en espejo, Allen fue capaz de "derretirse" y reconstituirse en su forma humana. También era capaz de correr sobre nubes de nieve lo suficientemente gruesas.
Aunque todos los Flash reciben sus poderes de la Fuerza de la Velocidad, Wally West posee una conexión directa a ella, y por esto no se le puede restringir su uso de la misma. West es capaz de utilizar la Fuerza de la Velocidad para crearse un traje, e incluso otorgar o quitar velocidad a otras personas u objetos en movimiento (Jay Garrick ha mostrado tener cierto grado de manejo de esta habilidad). También provocaba que aquellos objetos a través de los que vibraba explotaran, aunque recientemente ha podido evitar este efecto secundario. West puede además, aunque no con la misma precisión que Barry Allen cuando utilizaba su caminadora cósmica, viajar a través del tiempo y de las dimensiones por medio de su propio poder, de forma similar a Allen en Showcase número 4 (1956). Sin embargo, West actualmente acelera al punto de bordear la dimensión de la Fuerza de la Velocidad, y además puede viajar por el tiempo a puntos específicos al volverse éstos visibles (aunque necesita identificar la vibración característica de algún velocista en ese período, o estar familiarizado con la vibración del mismo). Es por lo demás el único velocista capaz de sobrevivir tras haber corrido a la velocidad de la luz; todos los demás han muerto o han sido absorbidos por la Fuerza de la Velocidad.
Otra habilidad que los Flash poseen en común es la de leer a súpervelocidad, y de esta forma procesar enormes cantidades de información. Sin embargo el conocimiento adquirido de esta forma suele ser temporal, exceptuando a Bart Allen quien parece adquirirlo permanentemente, aunque en un principio Max Mercury no creía que eso fuera a durar.
Los Flash, además de otros velocistas, son capaces de hablar a una increíble velocidad. Esto es usado principalmente para sostener conversaciones privadas en frente a gente que no sea lo suficientemente rápida como para comprender, aunque también se emplea con efecto cómico, haciendo que Flash hable tan rápido que sus palabras sean ininteligibles.
This is part of a succulent plant growing in a container in our garden. I photographed it this morning under soft overcast light, and then decided that I wanted directional light which would provide the shadows show shapes and textures. I also decided to to a black and white version of the finished shot, because I thought that the shadows and tones would lend themselves well to that look. Down below in the comments you can see the color version of this image.
Lighting info for those that care: Lit with on YN560 in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft fox, hand held at camera left and above at 10 o'clock. Fill light came from a silver reflector at camera right.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set. In the description for that set, I list resources that I've used to learn how to light with off camera flash, and the equipment that I use. www.flickr.com/photos/9422

I thought I'll try something spacial here. A lot of technical stuff going on in this picture. 15 sec exposure with gradual magenta filter to make the sky pop out with a nice color. Shot a flash towards the camera to get the little star there on the left and to light up the foreground and then quickly painted the dude in the center with a flashlight. The dark area behind the dude is actually my shadow during the long exposure.
Hope you like!

I recently made a Wally West figure and wanted to show him off with the rest of the crew. The figs are pretty self-explanatory, nothing new to see here.
You guys can also see the half-finished work I did on a Flash cowl :P
What do you guys think? Comments are greatly appreciated!

Project 365 Day Three: This morning I was checking out all the birds and this happy fellow hopped around long enough to capture a shot or two. Male eastern bluebird in our backyard.
A Thunderstorm I could observe from my windows, it reminds me on my dad. When I was five, he explained to me how thunderstorms form, and I was never afraid of them again. I'm thinking of you, Dad, and I love you.
Remember these impromptu performances . Flash mob .. this one starts with some sort of assembly then quickly falls into laughter and chaos . The silly season is in full swing .

This camera is in mint condition, it seems that it was never used.
All the accessories are the original mentioned in the instructions book.
In 1968 appeared the
Olympus PEN EES-2
The camera offered automatic exposure control.
The selenium cell of the light meter was placed around the lens.
On the focus ring the distance was indicated by four symbols which had to be clicked into place..
The lens was a D. Zuiko 1:2,8 f = 30 mm.
The Pen EES-2 uses the same lens as the EES, but the shutter speeds are 1/40″ and 1/200″. The shutter speeds work exactly the same way as with the EES. The EES-2 also has a maximum film speed setting of 400 ASA. The EES-2 was the basis for the legendary Olympus Trip 35. The aperture, the shutter speeds, the film speed range, the way the shutter speeds are selected, the way the automatic aperture works are all identical. The only difference between the Pen EES-2 and the Trip 35 is that the Trip 35 is a full-frame camera and the EES-2 is a half-frame camera. The Trip 35 has a 40mm lens and the 30mm lens on the EES-2 is the equivalent of a 42mm lens on a full-frame camera, so it's just a bit narrower. Interestingly, both the Trip 35 and the EES-2 can use the uncommon 43.5mm filters.
