I decided to get into this strobist thing, and buy some cheap triggers, some call them e-bay triggers, but I got mine from a different website. I had purchased a set of 16 channel impact triggers for studio lights. They don’t work for the off camera hotshoe flashes, as the receivers have to be plugged into an outlet, but the transmitter looked like the 16 channel transmitters of the E-bay type. So I decided to get those so they would all work together. I also heard that Vivitar started selling the 285 flashes again, but made then with a different voltage so they would not fry new DSLRs. They call them the 285HV. Great got a couple of those. I should be all set.
Problems:
1. Come to find out the 16 channel E-bay triggers don’t trigger the 285hv’s when the batteries get low, and shooting on a low power setting on the flash.
2. The range of these little guys are about 10 feet, or so. Well that stinks!
Fixes:
1. I found out the 4 channel V2s triggers, a slight variation on the 16 channel; in that they have hotshoe connections, work on the 285hv’s because the manufacture took out a bridge rectifier in the circuit. I found the hack on the strobist group on flickr, and instead of bypassing my bridge rectifier; I just took it out and put in the two wires. Cool, the 285hv fires 99% of the time. Good enough!
2. Since I’m on a roll, I should do the antenna hack on the transmitter. I loved it so much; I did it on the studio transmitter as well. They are basically the same transmitter, with the exception it has an extra pc connector so you can hook it to a light meter and trigger your strobes. I hooked it up to the larger hole on the circuit board to the right in the picture, instead of the left one, because of my wire size. I cut the “tracing” on the circuit board to keep from having a Y type of antenna.

I became involved with this project hoping to uncover a fresh perspective on the gun debate. My process included extensive research, one-on-one interviews (online and offline), a panel discussion and a visit to the local gun range to experience guns firsthand. See more at: www.victor-ramos.com
A demonstration from my boyfriend of the trigger action on Cowkicks (stylidium schoenoides). When a hapless insect lands on the flower, the specialised column (pollen and stigma) snaps forward and covers them with pollen.

Decided to buy 3 of these Phottix triggers. I got 3 triggers for the price of one Pocket Wizard trigger!

Our 6 month old blue heeler puppy, Trigger, has to always be in the water. My boyfriends mom's most prize possession is her goldfish pond... She gets so mad when Trigger takes a dip in it to cool off. She is so worried he is going to hurt her goldfish. We have tried EVERYTHING to keep him out.. and he knows he isn't supposed to be in there. So this is our criminal pup swimming with the goldfish with his " i didn't do it " look!
Damaged Case and/or device: No goldfish have been damaged.. yet! but we will never get tired of the endless amounts of " I didn't do it looks" or chasing trigger out of the goldfish pond!
I sent a second picture of Trigger picking up some bad habbits of his owner ( Drew Black). once again here is his "I didn't do it mom!" look :) hope everyone enjoys our CRIMINAL PUPPY!!

Vanity did not realise that if one became too narcissistic and vain, that she would encounter her evil doppelgänger through the mirror portal, which would bring misfortune to her “perfect” life. A long taloned hand drew through the mirror vortex and clawed at Vanity’s long ebony hair in a motion like that of a preying vulture.
www.bostonmagazine.com/corporate/subscription_services/ (click Send a Gift Subscription) When I submitted this form, I got 'Please enter a valid format for Send Date.' After 8 tries, I never cracked it. Customer service had no idea and suggested I subscribe by phone. At that point, my cost in time outweighed the benefit (sorry gift recipient!), so I gave up. Is there a TimeOut Boston?
With apologies to Carole C if she didn't call it that - Dennis said she did, but one thing not in dispute is that surprisingly it was Carole's first trig pillar.
We had a stunning day and views for the recce - the day of the walk was greyer, damper and windier.
I hit the "color restoration" button on my scanner to capture the purplish undertones in the background. (The original is more of a mint green rather than pine. I thought the darker hues accompanied the content of the entry much better.)
I loved how it had the dots and hairs to blend in with the trigger plant buds.
Possibly Helicoverpa punctigera or
Once I took the trigger spring out, cleaned it thoroughly and put it all back together I found that I was right about the trigger not catching was cause by grime and not some mechanical defect. The trigger catches every time now with perhaps a 10 pound pull.
