Here i am charming the deadly TTL Strobra. youll notice its diffuser hood that it displays just before striking.. Hehe
Strobist Info: well pretty obvious 1 strobe fired by my DIY extended TTL cable
Model: Marion
ISO 100, 21 mm, f/4,0, 1/200 Sek.
Say hello again to Marion. These pictures were taken during a spontaneous photo session next to our pool. Her tan was imported directly from the sunny beaches of Italy. She returned from her family vacation the prior day. Played around with the colors a bit, some skin retouching in Photoshop... et voilà !
Strobist info: The whole nine yards. My Nissin Di866 at full power shot into a Westcott umbrella from very high left. One bare LumoPro LP120 from the back left at 1/2 power for rim and water reflection. Another bare LP120 at 1/4 power to the front right for fill. All fired by Cactus V4 radio triggers.

I know it's already a bit late, but MERRY CHRISTMAS FLICKR FRIENDS & CONTACTS!!!! ♥ ♥
I'm so sorry I haven't uploading anymore! But I have something in-store for you this coming 2012! Cross your fingers with me, so that it might finally happen! Hah. It's not that big to most of you guys, but for me, it'd be a dream come true if it happened. So, I really hope it'd push through. :)
Anyway, posting more photos before the year ends. :)
♥ ♥ I'm glad, 2011 has been nice to me. :)
My strobe controller project finally got soldered up in a nice project case. In short, it's a programmable strobe controller for high-speed photography. You can load it with simple scripts to (usually) wait for a certain input condition, and then switch the outputs with very precise timing.
One particularly elaborate example: Have it trigger an electronic water valve for a few milliseconds, just long enough to let one drop of water through. Wait until it sees a drop fall through a photogate, and then open the shutter on the camera. Wait until the contact mic under a bowl is triggered by the drop impacting on the bowl, fire the flash, wait a few milliseconds, and then close the shutter on the camera. Perfect water drop pictures every time.
I bought a Koala protoboard, a matching case, and a compatible LiPoly battery from Sparkfun, plus a whole bunch of 3.5mm headphone jacks and some other odds and ends from JB Saunders, and soldered it up last weekend.
The board is pretty cool- it comes with USB-serial (an FTDI FT232R, regulated 3.3V and 5V from battery or USB, and battery charging from USB. The battery is tucked under the board.
Everything is wired into a TI EZ430-RF2500 target board (I really only wanted the MSP430-F2274 micro on it; the wireless is going to waste at the moment). It communicates with a desktop app I've written in C#, where you can see and control its status in real-time, write scripts, and send them to the device. I've created a simple little scripting language (and corresponding bytecode language) so the device can do interesting and precisely-timed things with its outputs (the five jacks on bottom) in reaction to stuff happening on its inputs (the button and the two other jacks). It needs some polish still, but it really works quite well.
I'll do a proper writeup on my website when I'm closer to being truly done.
Portable studio.
- Vivitar 285VH strobes
- Promaster LS-2 light stands
- Photoflex shoe mount multiclamps
- Westcott 32" white umbrellas with black covers
- Paramount cords
- DIY household cables

This was pure guesswork. I'm on a continuing quest to eliminate the orange cast from shots using artificial light, thought it'd be worth a go to use Calethia's strobe light, see what happened.
Seeming simple enough, of course it took twice as long as we'd expected, with both of us blind from firing off the strobe dozens of times to get the shot framed right, timed right. For awhile all we could see were afterimages of each other, and we stumbled around the room trying to shake it off.
But it worked! Yeah gods, it worked. So if anybody's got a huge studio light they'd like to part with, feel more than free to drop me a line.
BRIGHT LIGHT! BRIGHT LIGHT!
Taken with a single Cactus RF60 flash & V6. Mode used, Multi Flash (Multi Strobe).
(RF60) Power = 1/16, number of flashes = 10, Hz = 8, Zoom = 24
(X-Pro1) Shutter = 1 sec, aperture = f/7.1, ISO = 200
Another feature that the Vela flash has is a strobe mode. It can put out up to six flashes spaced from 10 to 250usec. Years ago I spent a lot of time making a deal delay flash controller that would fire my two microflash units in sequence with an adjustable delay. I never found a good photo to make with the set-up so I moved on.
Part of the issue is that you get the best results by using a non-reflective background because as the action moves the light from consecutive strobes will bleach out the earlier exposure making the objects look like ghosts.
So for this photograph I set up a hefty razor blade and shot a small lead ball at the blade. You can see how the impact torqued the blade and you can clearly see how the lead ball is cut neatly into two slices that fly apart.
The flash duration is 2usec and the separation is a guess at about 150usec.
I used my new D750 for this shot because it has much lower noise compared to the 5D Mk II.
This is the same stupid shot done with a microflash.

A third hot weekend in store. It's getting very old.
Cheers.
(Setup shot: see "Sponge Cake Setup", it is exactly the same)
Bring your own light! This was a test for the minimal light setup: One speedlite, behind a folded piece of paper as diffusor, placed in the upper left corner. One folded piece of paper as reflector, in the lower right corner (see comments in the image). Lense: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8.
This was shot during a photo session with Shabugi in the Sushi Circle in Karlsruhe. Thanks again to the staff there for letting us using strobelight in the restaurant (btw.: the sushi was delish!).
Taken a couple of weeks ago at the local fun fair. No photoshop effects here, this image of one of the rides is the result of a longish exposure and strobe lighting. It made me go mad just watching it, hate to think what it was like inside those cages.
- 2 Nikon SB-80DX flash triggered by 2 Pocket Wizard Plus II
- First flash at full power | Zoom 85 mm | Shoot bounce reflective umbrella | Placed on the left over the subject
- Second flash at 1/8 power | Zoom 108 mm | Shoot bounce circular reflector disc | Placed on the right of the subject on the ground
First shoot on the island Mallorca, Spain with wonderful Jessica Czakon.
No strobes or speedlights, all natural lighting.
From a Thanksgiving several years ago where my father-in-law and I found some colored glass to use as flash gels and a pie plate to splish water in. Splooshing it to the max!
Headed over to Eastern MI this weekend to hang out with this couple on their wedding day.
Sort of a setup shot with Sylwia, but I kind of like it on its own.
Resulting image here.
Check the notes!

Another self portrait.

First time shooting with my own, Sam wasn't around since he was still living in Van, so I rocked out by myself. I didnt do too bad I think, let me know what I can improve on though.
And sorry if people are still actually following this stream, I'll be uploading more now I promise!

Strobe Highway
Canon EOS 600 with EF 1.8/50 (I)
F/8, Aperture Priority AE, ISO 50
Kodak VP+ 200 expired 2/2002
Exposed 26.6.2021
Digitized with DSLR
Gaming: on the EOS 600 you can set the number of exposures for a frame from 1 to 9, in addition the camera has a fast motor drive, up to 5 fps when the continuous AF is switched off. Here I select 5 exposures, exposure correction -2 EV, continuous shooting, manual focus and aperture priority AE. Then I pressed the shutter button until the camera stopped after 5 exposures automatically and the film was transported. Yes, there is no reason for the camera to stop (not until the end of the film), because continuous shooting is selected, but a clever programmer had thought of that case and built in that stop, nice. As you can see, I didn't use a tripod.
If you want to estimate the speed of a car, perhaps of the silver one in the foreground:
It is perhaps 4 to 5 m long, so it moves about 7 m per frame.
Duration from frame to frame: 1 / 5 fps = 0.2 s
7 m / 0.2 s = 35 m/s = 126 km/h ~ 79 mph
Hi,
at fist I had totaly different plans for my week 14 pic. But then, Marie just grabbed my Camera and took a picture of me while I meditated over the final details. She had a lucky shot and managed to catch my good side which is not so easy . So I decided to not bother anymore and take this picture instead.

Strobist Info:
I used a 3 strobe setup for this.
