Even though I'm not doing a 365 this year, I still get an urge to try and take some shots each day.
This was a bit of a rushed job, and probably needs a clearer shed and some more time. I'm giving the new 20mm a run too, and I need to learn how to get the best from it. I love the wide-angle though.
Here are the main parts for my DIY wireless flash trigger transmitter unit.
Not shown are the keypad (because I'm still searching for a nice one to replace my prototype resistor ladder lash-up), the battery pack (in the post) and the connection to the camera hotshoe (it's a metal vivitar replacement foot which connects across port 3's digital input and ground.
There has been a bit of modification to the LCD controller board and the LCD board. The middle 4 pins aren't used, and thanks to screw pillars in the case, they were stopping the board mounting high up in the case, so they got drilled and filed out. I almost murdered the LCD controller in the process, there's a very thin track which goes just just between the 7th pin from the left (which I removed) and the 6th (which is required), I only just saw it in time! Luckily it survived so I didn't have to tack a patch across from the SMD chip! *phew*
The parts you can see are:

If I have room I have two other small boards from Jeelabs to go inside. A real time clock and a 128Kbyte Eeprom board... What for? Well to record the flash powers for every shot so when I upload my pictures I don't have to guess, I know exactly what power was used for each :-)

Another great opportunity to replace a broken piece to perfectly good tools. The trigger to my hose attachment broke due to poor design. The original trigger had a very thin arm that broke off soon after I purchased the nozzle. I was able to monkey the trigger with lots of effort so I did not throw it away. I am glad I did not because the 3D printed replacement came out strong and with good fidelity. One of the greatest benefits of owning a 3D printer has been the ability to salvage so many tools and other belongings.
This was as far away as I could get from the flash: 75 metres. With aerial extensions (photograph of extended aerial) in the range of 5" to 20" I was able to get about 50% of triggered flashes. The flash in the centre of the photograph. It was hung at head height from a branch as in this photograph.
Orientation and position of the aerial mattered. The position of my fingers holding the trigger mattered. I also discovered that it mattered whether the trigger was attached to my camera. These seemed to affect optimum length as well as reliability, so more experimentation is required to find optimums and good reliable working compromises.
The good news is that at about 40 metres (130 feet) any length of extension from five to ten inches in any orientation worked very reliably indeed. At 75 metres (246 feet) they worked about half the time. I need to find a venue where I can play with longer distances, or perhaps a way of crippling reception so I can optimise aerial length in easier surroundings. More research is needed, but so far very encouraging and most usable results!

1 580exii triggered with old cactus v2
flash @1/8th power 2m away on the left of the picture
after a couple of shots the cat stopped jumping as he was blinded by the power of the light and feared to jump again as there was light each time he jumped :)
après quelques photos le chat a arrêté de sauter car il était ébloui par la lumière du flash et en avait peur car il y avait la lumiere a chaque fois qu'il sautait

And here it is, the beautiful Clown Triggerfish, also known simply as the Clown Trigger. Clown Triggerfish (Balistoides conspicillum), also known as the Bigspotted Triggerfish, are marine fish belonging to the family Balistidae, or commonly called triggerfish. The Clown Triggerfish is a small sized fish which grows up to 50 cm. Its body has a stock appearance, oval shape and compressed laterally. The head is large and represents approximately one third of the body length. The mouth is small, terminal and has strong teeth. More notes in the next caption.

Yet more studio work. Done for a University brief; we had to create a magazine that represented us. I chose to make a fashion/beauty magazine.

Dies ist ein Überfall. Wir wollen nur die Nüsse. Und das mir keiner den Helden spielt. Okay - raus raus raus.
this dude on the right threatened to shoot the people standing around me because they were covering their faces so they didn't breathe in the tear gas. awesome.

This shot is suppose to be a test fire I made for my set-up.I want to take a photo of me before I cut this awesome hair of mine.... hehehehe and I like this shot..

I will post next the photo which is really for this shot.

A massive haboob, a wall of dust carried aloft along the edge of a thunderstorm-generated outflow boundary, passed through Gila Bend, Arizona, on the night of August 16th. As the boundary propagated westward, it destabilized the atmosphere sufficiently to trigger additional thunderstorm development between Gila Bend and Yuma. The storms moved fast over mostly roadless desert, but they put on a nice light show.

The goal for this trip to Longwood was to experiment with off camera flash. I've had some RF flash triggers for awhile but decided it was time to do some experiments. The Nikon SB-600 was being used in manual mode. The amount of light hitting the subject was being controlled by three variables, 1) power, 2) direction, and 3) distance from the subject. In some cases the flash was set to 1/16th power and the intensity was still to much so the distance had to be increased. The camera was set to "P" and in some cases we had exposure compensation set to -2 which darkened backgrounds.
