Testing the flash guns before the village pantomime (defiantly green spots before the eyes -- I wonder why they are green?)
The Hemyock village pantomime is an amateur production, with the main theme being fun. This year it "Sleeping Beauty" and even the first night (Wednesday 21st October) is a "sell out".

Green flashes and green rays are optical phenomena that sometimes occur right after sunset or right before sunrise. When the conditions are right, a green spot is visible above the upper rim of the disk of the sun. The green appearance usually lasts for no more than a second or two. Rarely, the green flash can resemble a green ray shooting up from the sunset (or sunrise) point. Green flashes occur because the atmosphere can cause the light from the sun to separate out into different colors. Green flashes are a group of phenomena which stem from slightly different causes, and therefore some types of green flashes are more common than others.[1]
While observing at the Vatican Observatory in 1960 D.K.J. O'Connell produced the first color photographs of a green flash at sunset
Ok, here is: My DIY ring flash.
Salad Bowl, cut a hole in the middle, placed a pineapple tin can, made another square hole for the flash on the side. Made a bracket out of alumium and shaped it in the way shown above. Flash is a Canon 580ex, triggered by a cable.
The diffuser is a piece of plastic folder I had with documents :-)
The tin of pineapple has a piece of aluminium foil around it so it reflects more light. I love the lighting effect this flash produces. I will upload photos soon (When I find my model)

Here's another photo of some of my old photo gear collection. Some of you young folks probably never used flashbulbs. They came in lots of different sizes to fit various flash "guns" that attached to film cameras. The guns had reflectors to direct the light toward the subject and exposure was calculated based on guide numbers according to the power of the flashbulbs used, film speed, and a chart like the one shown in this photo. Cameras had to be set at 1/60 second or slower to sync with the mechanical shutters on film cameras.
As a bonus, I included a flash meter I built from Radio Shack parts a heck of a long time ago. It worked OK with electronic flash and bulbs. ASA (now ISO) was set with a knob and the meter would be held at the subject facing the camera. When the flash was set off a needle would stop at the appropriate f-stop. In theory, at least.
"Green flash" is a real optical phenomenon caused by diffraction and scattering of electromagnetic waves of the visible light spectrum (rainbow) during the sunsets and sunrises.
The green color, corresponding to waves of medium wavelength, flashing at that moment. The other red, blue, violet with wavelengths longer and shorter wave colors present become nullified and we only the characteristic green color is present.

So I ended up making a new Rogueverse Flash today, since the design I had used previously I'm using for my EWSG Flash series. Anyways, here's his backstory!
Backstory: The Roman based deity Mercury, became bored living amongst his family. So he would decide that he would come to Earth, and start a life for himself there. As he needed a name for himself so he could blend in with society, he began calling himself Max Mercury. At first, he would use his extraordinary speed to play tricks on people. But he would later find love in Laura Claiborne. Because he abandoned his duties for Olympus, his immortality was taken from him by Zeus himself. Laura would later give birth to a girl, which they named Helen. Mercury realized that his powers of speed were meant to be used for greater things. He became the world's first scarlet speedster, as the Flash! His costume consisted of a metal hat, with lightning bolts on the side, and winged tips on his boots, much like how he looks in mythology, along with a red jacket, that has a yellow lightning bolt down the middle. As he grew old with Laura, Mercury decided he would give his powers of speed to one that was a worthy champion of justice. He would find this in Barry Allen, a CSI that works for the Central City Police Department, whose father murdered his mother at an early age. Mercury would tell Barry about his new found powers, and would teach him how to use it. On his deathbed, Mercury told Barry to never let the legacy of the Flash die out. Barry Allen, as the Flash, would end up facing many dangers in the years to come. Many villains, gifted by the powers of the gods of Olympus, would come after Barry, and the ones he cares for. He would generate a new costume, that was way different than Mercury's original costume.
Going thru my stuff from last year.i have a few of this swan,thought I'd throw it up cos I'm taking pure shite shots lately.
I must clarify how i took this because in the past people have doubted it's authenticity.I had the camera set up just for the sunset when this swan came over cos they are used to people feding them bread.Anyway,after many attemp[ts to get low and get his silhouette agaisnt the setting sun,i simply popped up the on board flash and started shooting.i thought it would freak him pout but he stayed and i eventually got this and a couple of other ok ones.he did try and bite me in the face at one stage though,they seem farther away when you are on your belly looking thru a wide angle :- )

Holy Cow! Non-stop lightning, hail, thunder, wind and torrential rain! A 25 second exposure with me holding onto the tripod as the storm came racing toward me!!!
After processing, the delicate gold inflorescence with flash is breathtaking, preserving details. Just for comparison, I have included the same White-Chested Emerald without flash, again almost a different bird in appearance. Without the flash the namesake emerald colors predominate. I hope this drives home the point that you need to take photographs both with and without flash to fully represent any particular bird species.

The theme for the month January 2025 is Queen.
Pick a song of Queen in your head and make a picture of it. This could be a landscape, Theme...whatever you have in mind, as long as it is a song, clip or part of a song made by the group Queen.

Best viewed large, see all that wonderful detail. Flickr degrades the front image anyway. Feel free to comment, I love to read what you have to say.
Listen!
Ok, this was the beginning of a little series I started. I wanted something atmospheric, almost cheap. I wanted the flash to look so obvious and crass. I have not used my flash gun for over a year now, because I generally despise that effect! I was hateful of the results at first, but they have grown on me now. Quite fond of this image now.
I love the other images I took too, but I do not think I will upload them. I will probably experiment with this idea more soon.
I am on this...
I am shameless...
