orionidParticipantAnnnd I misinterpreted stroboscopic. Was thinking long exposure with strobo flash creating multiple exposures in one frame.
Nope. Just long exposure in total darkness with one single flash acting as the shutter. Actual exposure is a fraction of a second, and slightly faster than most mechanical shutters.
/Y’all are going to force me to move my rappatronic project from paper ideas/theories to meatspace, aren’t you?

ParticipantCrop that dark corner out and use the MIG. (IMHO,FWIW,OMGWTFBFFBBQ)
Done and done. That was my original selection as well before I started waffling. Thanks, fluffy!

Participantif any farker wants a gift month of TF, to enter your photos earlier than usual, let me know, I have one to give. Or, if you know someone who could use a gift month, let me know that too.
July 19, 2012 at 12:50 am #47689ParticipantWell, if you don’t mind that it’ll be wasted on me next week (I’m out for the next contest), I’d take it, Morningbreath. Or if someone else can use it fully, feel free to send it their way instead.

I really, really tried to get razor sharp dragonflies in flight for this contest. In the past two days I have over 1,000 clicks on my camera and I’m not completely happy with any of them. I’ll keep at it because I’m sure the results will be worth it once I get it right.

Looks like it was a tit nipply.

ParticipantFantastic dragonfly shots bender, even if you’re striving for even better. What’s your setup for those? Perhaps it’s the heat outdoors down here at the moment, but can’t imagine being patient enough to get that close or that many shots. (yes, I’m a bit envious)

I could use one, never have tried TF. =)

Done, and its not a waste.
I found out I actually have a couple more free ones to give if anyone else wants one too.

Thank you very much! =)
July 19, 2012 at 1:44 am #47697ParticipantWhat’s your setup for those?)
Thanks! I’ve been trying many different things, all with a 100mm f2.8 macro lens. It’s been hot here too, but I’ve been trying anyway. Some I’ve been chasing around the yard like a moran and last night I spent an hour hanging over the side of my boat on my belly scouring the lily pads. I even tried a motion sensor trigger that I made, but they were too small to set it off. I’m getting better at guessing their movements but these ones haven’t been hovering at all.
I’m pleased with some of the stills, but really want to get them in flight.
Still 1, Still 2, and Still 3.July 19, 2012 at 1:50 am #47698ParticipantDone, and its not a waste.
Thanks MB!
July 19, 2012 at 2:06 am #47699Participantre: 100mm macro – ‘cuda got to get himself one of those. That and wait till temps cool off till sub 100 in the mid-afternoon so I can stand still long enough to get some close shots. Time and patience is one thing I don’t always have a lot of when out shooting.

If it’s still available, I’d kinda like to be able to get to sleep a little earlier once in a while (2 weeks ago I fell asleep at the computer waiting for midnight).
