Trying out a ring flash adaptor I recently acquired. Not a true ring flash, so the catch light is horeshoe shaped, not round.

For some time now, I've been looking for something more secure than the standard cold shoe setup for my strobes and triggers. I never had confidence on the little cold shoe holders, especially when a using a flash mounted on a hot shoe mounted trigger. I saw a few solutions commercially but they seemed a little expensive for something so simple. I talked it over with my brother and we came up with this.
We started with a plastic kitchen cutting board. It's a very strong material and easy to work with. Once the plates were cut to the desired size, he cut spacers to give room for the thumb screws. Holes were drilled for the various mounts. The version seen here is mounted to a standard umbrella swivel with the cold shoe removed. The plate was secured to the swivel using the original cold shoe screws and holes. Loctite was added to make sure the screws stay in place. The Velcro strap was sandwiched between the top plate and spacer. A layer of dense neoprene foam cut from a gardening cushion was then adhered to the plate. The second version is mounted to a standard brass spigot so that it can be used on any standard swivel.
This feels so much more secure now! There's less stress on the hot shoe of flash and trigger. It just feels more solid. It also places the flash closer to the center of the umbrella for a more even spread of light.
Total spent was about $30 for 4 mounts (two on swivels and two on spigots). All parts were sourced locally except for the swivels which I already had. The ready made ones run about $40 each so it was worth the effort. They are definitely more solid on the light stand then before.
Day 114 / 365 - 24/4/10
Droplets
More feather drops. Apparently this is my "go to" thing at the moment, but that's ok. I always really admired these kind of shots when I saw them from others. And I'm loving the things I can do using the corn syrup. :-)
Apologies to all the contacts I've missed out on commenting on lately. I seem to have gotten kind of flickr-ed out between the 365 and regular life. I'm really going to try to visit your streams more often.
Niedawno znalazłem mojej matki stary aparat z lat 70 (Super Tele Flash 110). I oto, aparat nadal działa (ale nie flash) z filmu przeterminowany Centuria Konica 200. Focusa nie ma, w takim razie. Ale nadal, mozna się pobawić.
Kürzlich fand ich den alten Fotoapparat meiner Mutter aus den 70er jahren (Super Tele Flash 110). Und siehe da: die Kamera funktioniert noch (aber ohne Blitz) mit einem abgelaufenen Konica Centuria 200 Film. Aber das Fokussieren ist nicht möglich. Aber immerhin eine nette kleine Spielerei.
Recently I found my mother's old camera from the 70s (Super Tele flash 110). Lo and behold, the camera still works (but no flash) and with an expired Koncia Centuria 200 film. However, the focusing is not possible. But still a nice little gimmick.
Récemment, j'ai trouvé l’ancient appareil photo de ma mère depuis les années 70 (Super Tele flash 110). Et voilà, la caméra fonctionne toujours (mais pas de flash) avenc un périmé Koncia Centuria 200 film. Malheuresment, is n’est pas possible focaliser. Mais il est un joli petit gadget.
Series of test shots with some different flash techniques. Subject is a wooden drawing model back lit with halogen desk lamp mounted under my desk's hutch. All shots were white balanced for Flash. Flash had a 4 inch snoot for directional control.
Row 1: All in Program mode. First shot - no flash. Second shot - P-TTL, AF-540FGZ flash mounted on camera. Third shot - P-TTL, AF-540FGZ flash mounted on light stand camera right.
Row 2: All with camera and flash in Manual mode. Strobe is the main light. Set camera to max sync speed. Set flash to fractional power. First shot - aperture adjusted to properly light subject. Second shot - shutter speed is adjusted until the proper exposure value for the ambient light is reached. Third shot - over-exposed ambient light, but the subject remains the same except for some bleeding.
Row 3. All with camera and flash in Manual mode. Ambient light is the main light. Set camera flash sync speed. Set aperture for ambient light's exposure value. Adjust the flash output to properly light subject. First shot - no flash. Second shot - flash fired at lowest setting but too much light on subject. Third shot - flash repositioned farther away.

These jewels of the garden sometimes move with the sweet eloquence of a prima ballerina as they flit around the feeder extending the fluid movements of their wings. I have to liken the feisty movement of the Rufous, however, to a flash dancer as they skip in, then put on a dazzling acrobatic show to disrupt the attempts of the others to feed.

DIY Twin flash setup
The brolley mount bottom is holding a brolley mount sideways at top. I was using this setup with 2x 580EXIIs at full power to give me f/16 at about 2.5m.
This setup through the 42" brolley gave fairly nice even lighting for a couple against a midday sky.
Flashes were triggering with an ST-E2 on camera... which was working surprisingly well (camera was behind the flashes and the signal was still getting through).
I used this as a test until my proper double/triple flash mount came from elv000 :)
In China the New Year is not calculated as the shortest day as in the Western Calendar. The Chinese calendar works on the lunar cycle. Celebrations traditionally run from the evening preceding the first day, to the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first calendar month. The first day of the New Year falls on the new moon between the 21st of January and 20th of February. In 2018, the first day of the Lunar New Year was on Friday, 16 February, initiating the year of the Dog.
Another larval shot from a recent trip to Florida. I shot the entire trip with flash, and I must say I have not been using flash enough in my photography in the last few years. It brings out vibrant colors so much better than natural light.

There were several people taking pictures using flash. I just happened to catch one of flashes in this picture.
not the best shot in the world as it was getting dusky, but I wanted you all to see how good little Flash looks after this hard winter:-) it's so good to see the deer coming home ...

What we have here is your basic Vivitar 285HV flash, connected with a Vivitar to 1/8'' cable, connected to a 1/8'' to USB mini cable, connected to your basic Motorola SLVR L7 cell phone (hanging from the flash by an extra Pocket Wizard lanyard).
Think of the range you get with this thing, people! Providing you have a good long distance plan, you can fire the 285HV from anywhere on the planet :)
Technical--though it's just a joke:
Vivitar 285HV set to 1/16, fired through a 33'' umbrella behind me and to my left.
Canon EOS-1D, Tokina 10-17mm fisheye @ 12mm, f/4, 1/10th second exposure, ISO 320.
