The Netherlands, lowlands, North Sea. In the new climate a daily guarantee for mild air currents. Wet periods, dry periods. In the past, frost and snow were on the menu almost every winter. Nowadays an entire country has a sudden fever for the chance of a possible snow shower. Sunday 17th January 2021, melting snow at 3C temp.
Inspired by some of my friends flash work, I thought i would spend some time practising. It was selfie time!!!
I was playing with two light set ups. Although I couldn't take this to the street, it will be workable in a modified format.
The key light is camera right in a soft box and a rogue flashbender diffusion panel to get some double diffusion going on. It is at 1/4 power. I have a black board camera left next to me and facing the light to add some shadow to the left hand side of my face (my walls are cream coloured and very close and I was getting too much reflection).
I have got a second flash in a diffusion cap and with a brown gel on it bouncing off the ceiling (I went for brown to match the wood colour of the environment). I have also blocked it from hitting me with a foam board. Power is at 1/8th and this was acting as a light for the background and some general fill.
I used my relatively crappy Nikon D3100 to have something to focus on and to add something else to the picture. I haven't quite got it focused on my eyes but for a selfie it will do.
There was very little done in lightroom, I think I mainly increased the contrast. In photoshop I reduced the hotspot on my forehead, sharpened the image, desaturated a little and increased the blues in the shadows in colour balance.
Quite happy with how it turned out, given the terrible model who had no dress sense and was terrible at being directed :-)
Both flahses were Nissin Di866 v2
- www.kevin-palmer.com - I love seeing lightning under the stars and it doesn't happen very often around here. This storm was producing near continuous flashes and I haven't seen anything like it this year.

More fun with fill flash. I was playing with the flash speed to both stop those fast beating wings and bring out the colors and irridescence of this Costa's Hummingbird.
Even if I told you I know you won't believe
It's like I see my whole life

RE 4492 Mannheim - Ludwigshafen - Frankenthal - Worms - Mainz - Hochheim - Frankfurt(M)Höchst - Frankfurt(M)Hbf,
pünktlich entlang des Roten Hangs bei Nierstein.
Seit Fahrplanwechsel sind die Züge der RE-Linien 4 und 14 sechzehnmal am Tag stündlich
durchgebunden nach Frankfurt am Main,
wobei interessanterweise ab Mainz
unter Umgehung von Wiesbaden Hbf
direkt über eine ansonsten dem Güterverkehr dienende Verbindung nach Hochheim am Main
und von dort weiter rechtsmainisch über Ffm-Höchst gefahren wird.
Damit hat man auf der rechtsmainischen Strecke neben der S-Bahn-Linie 1
und den VIAS-Zügen der Verbindung Frankfurt(M) - Wiesbaden - Koblenz
nun auch eine attraktive schnelle Verbindung geschaffen,
freilich unter Auslassung von Halten in Kleinstädten wie Flörsheim oder Hattersheim.
I put my fingers in front of the flash, and created a red effect. In the reflection of her eyes, you can see me taking a picture.
Branded under their 'Yellow Flash' livery scheme for the 50&51 St Budeaux - Derriford Hospital routes, Plymouth Citybus ADL Enviro400 525 WJ65BYR is snapped passing Plymouth Railway Station in some fine late afternoon sunshine we had back in May. With Cornwall now being very much MMC dominated I must admit I have warmed to the original Enviro400 design which if you ask me still doesn't look all that dated? ;-)
Trying stuff with a new toy - on camera Speedlight - the neighbours must have wondered what I was up to....I was exploring it's reach! It seems to work, but now I understand when folks say that it makes for flat photos. Next: off camera using command mode. We'll see....
Trying my MINOLTA 9000 AF camera again loaded with fresh ILFORD FP4+ TESTING the MINOLTA Program Flash 2800AF on 'PROGRAM Mode' and also testing a batch of Crawley Formula FX-37 diluted 1+9 to rate FP4+ at 200 ASA. RESULT : the negative was DENSE but I got 200ASA out of the FP4+ OK -- I think not all the 'Exposure Modes' on the 9000 are working as I have to set 400ASA on the 9000 and 200 ASA on a Weston Master V meter to get same exposure.
