out for a stroll tonight with whicsy & the off camera flash, through a DIY softbox, mounted on the old crappy tripod & triggered by a home made pc sync cord.
whicsy said it was harsh. i guess it's time to start getting real gear.
i'm assuming that these would be typical light levels for night time portraits. at this level i was kinda stressing the limits of comfortable settings: 1/45sec, f/1.4, ISO-800. Seems like dustin does similar settings, but compensates for a slower aperature with better higher iso performance. I guess this pretty much, hopefully once & for all, rules out the 135 STF at night.

thanks for the fav Dusty.
time for some gels. maybe a start of a 365 strobe & bokeh series?
Look here and here for a shot of the source of colourful bokeh.

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

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. :)
A night time shelf cloud illuminated by an absolute barrage of lightning, like a heavenly strobe light marking the arrival of an inbound cold front.

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!
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.

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.
Set Up _ 2 strob with square softbox in front of model, 2 strob with square softbox in side of model for sidelight & 1 more strob with square softbox in the back for background.
Had a Photoshop class with Tim Buerger today.
Worked on some of the photos I did in a previous strobe lesson in Minato Mirai, Yokohama. Now it feels like the lesson is complete... from the shooting to the post-production.
I was never a huge fan of flashes and non-natural light but I really like the results of this class... time to practice!
