Flash Follies
View allAll Photos Tagged flashing
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.

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.
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.
If you see the auroras pulsate and flash across the sky and your neck is stiff and sore, then you know you've had an exceptional night under the stars.

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).

I photographed this flower pot full of a cactus flowers this afternoon when all of the flowers appeared to be completely open. We've had good rains this winter and spring, and currently the temperatures are in the low 80's so the cactus and succulents are loving life.
I used camera settings that caused the background to go quite dark and then lit the flowers with one Yongnuo manual flash at full power in an 8.6 inch Lastolite soft box, hand held at camera left and pointing down at the center of the pot. Where the background didn't go completely black and was a bit distracting, I used the black paintbrush in Photoshop. The flash and my tripod mounted camera were triggered with a Yongnuo RF-603N.
Other plants, flowers, fruit or thingys that I've photographed using strobes can be seen in my Strobe Lit Plant set that has over 1300 images in it. In the description for each image, I describe the lighting setup that I used. www.flickr.com/photos/9422878@N08/sets/72157628079460544/
If you like pictures of cactus and succulents, you might not hate my Cactus and Succulents set. That set can be seen here, and has over 360 images in it.
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 !
And thank you my sweet friends for all the tricks and tips that you give me !! Love you all ♥ and specially Natsu who helped me started... ♥
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.

The steam from Mammoth Hot Springs condenses and freezes on nearby branches (and other things).
I rarely use flash, but did so here. Fortunately, it didn't light up the background at all.
