...or maybe "horseshoe flash" as it runs much hotter near the strobe.
Apologies for the quality of this pic.
Based on the Dennison Bertram design that brought you the lovely (and now legendary) Lenka.
The thing is the size of an A3 piece of paper, 10cms thick, made out of two blocks of salvaged polystyrene which are carved out then sandwiched between thin sheets of board. The whole lot is taped together with gaffer tape.
The strobe (in this case an SB24 with pauper wizard) just sticks into a channel in the polystyrene, which opens into a V shape.
The shape of the "donut" is clearly not right to allow light past the central tube (where the camera lens pokes through). Actually, I find myself using it 'upside-down', with the flash at the top, so there's more light on the subject's head and face and it falls off lower down the body.
It's quite heavy and could do with some kind of handle or tripod mount.
But hey, it was free! You get what you pay for, I suppose...
A Ana Paula tava cheia desses flocadinhos da Ludurana e eu na maior cara de pau pedi ela um IJASIAISUHASIH e sem saber ela me deu o meu preferido da coleção! Os floquinhos variam de verde, laranja e amarelo, dependendo da posição da mão. Na foto não consegui captar muito bem o efeito dele, mas é lindo esse esmalte! Meu primeiro flocadinho! Foram duas camadas em cima do preto sépia da risqué.
For people who live where I live, this homeless man is known as the former "helmet man."
Today, after a couple of shoots for my senior project, I saw him outside the donut shop, and John and I went to talk to him and ask him if I could take photos for my project.
The only words I could understand were "photos" "true grit" and "billy the kid."
His speech was quick, jumbled, and completely incomprehensible. But he had a lot to say. He showed us a bunch of newspaper clippings, books, and two movies in particular: Shanghai Express and Flash Gordon. When I asked him his name, he just pointed to Shanghai Express.
While I was taking photographs, many people yelled out their windows to us. It was a strange experience. To listen to someone who was the personification of a ruined history book, and to hear the shouts of people that had nothing to do with the situation.
Strangers amaze me.

Cosa è un Frozen Flash Mob??
Sostanzialmente, è un raduno di persone che non si conoscono di persona ma che sono venute a conoscenza dell' evento via internet o attraverso canali alternativi (passa parola, etc..). Solitamente il raduno avviene in un luogo pubblico molto frequentato (una piazza o all'interno di un evento più grande...).
Le persone vi si recano e compiono un'azione collettiva, precisata preventivamente, che potrebbe essere: cantare una canzone, giocare, recitare un breve sketch o, come nel caso del "Frozen", rimanere bloccati in una posizione per un breve arco di tempo!
This is Flash. I hung out with him on Pepper Mouser's art car on burn night at the 2006 Burning Man Festival. We had a great conversation and countless deep belly laughs while taking a grand tour of Black Rock city on a giant mobile bar/lounge/living room. Flash is a pretty cool cat and after chatting with me for awhile he proclaimed to everyone on the art car that I "was a good kid" so that made me feel nice.
Flash's story is pretty interesting and he has some great stories to tell about the Burning Man festivals history and the personalities behind it. I hope I run into him again sometime.

I have been challenged when using an external flash on manual. Today I got a lesson from my friend Lou Ann and It is really helping. The hubster is so sweet to be my model.

I've often wondered what happens someone elses flash gun goes off while you're taking a photo.
Well here's the answer. The young lady is dancing to the Edgar Macías Quintet at Bearwood Corks club.
The guy on the other side of the room got quite a good shot as well.

A simple tool to measure strobe pulse length.
An Arduino, with a photo transistor connected to an analog input (with a pull down resistor of a few kilo ohm), a laser module to measure a 490 Hz pulse for reference, and a Cullmann DC36 strobe triggered via an optocoupler for extra safety.
The Arduino is connected to a laptop via USB Serial, triggers the strobe on any input and records almost 10 milliseconds of the analog voltage at about 76923 Hz.
The strobe was at the other end of the table, pointing away and still the photo transistor had to be covered with a thick blanket, folded, to keep it from saturating.
Here is my flash version of my little kitchen. Any helpful comments would be much appreciated. I'm a baby here. One sb700 stu right above the camera and one yn560 with WAD on the floor below the camera shot toward the bottom corner cabinet.
My umbrella made an ugly reflection in the upper corner cabinet. The touch up there is not my best work (tips?), but I couldn't figure out how to get rid of all the crissed crossed ugly shadows from all the different lights in the room without directing a light that direction.
At Speed Force, we actually did a feature about his costume last year by the costumers who made it.

My travel pack. It's around 8kg. The shoulder strip from my Magnum bag.
My backup camera is a D40 owned by the misus with a kit 18-50 lens. Chargers traveling in the sutecase along with 8 rechargable batteries and a monopod.
I'm going to Hungary, Budapest where's 2 film camera waiting for me. A twinlens, square medium format and a 6x7 medium format. I buy the film over there cause it's cheap and the developing is unexpensive and fast. My dad posible land me a tripod anywhays and I might can get a hold on a field bag to showe my stuff in it if I going out.
The big plane is.
Use the twinlense with color film (kodak portra) for family portraits and casual portraits.
Use the 6x7 for black and white (Ilford Xp2) for landscape and documentary (I'm going to visit Holloko and other places in the country)
Use the D3 for family group photo with the strobe and do some portraits while I'm on the country side. Also use as a backup and lightmeter.
At august 20. National celebration at Budapest to capture the military air parade and the promotions of the military officers. I hope I can get a few shots of politicans (last year when the Hungarian leftist MSZP on power... they gona get beaten next year 100%) and I'm looking forward to shoot the Red Bull Air Race.
