ParticipantI had plans to take photos for this one, but time worked against me and it was a rummage through the archives instead. Oh well, those piles of California buckeyes (they look like shiny brown, very hard, plums) can go back outside…
Anyway, here’s a couple that I like but didn’t select. More fodder for the upcoming B-Sides contest!

I like the cat eye even better though. That is an awesome shot. It took dozens of tries to get Pain to sit still long enough to get his close up. But I think that one came out pretty good. I didn’t even think about eye bolts. Or sewing needles either. There are a lot of really cool real eyes also.

Thanks. I think what really helped the cat eye shot was my off-camera lighting and getting close. You can see the top of the Vivitar 285HV in his eye, which was about a foot to his left.

That’s about how far from Pain I was. I didn’t notice my camera though until I zoomed way in on his eye. You can see the lens thing on my Cannon Powershot a560.

Vivitar 285HV .
Hey, how do you like that flash? I just ordered one today. does it do strobe, like where you could get multiple images on an open lens in a dark room with a person moving?

The Vivitar 285HV is the premier manual flash, so you should like it for that.
You can trigger it manually at 1/16th power as fast as you want, but it doesn’t do anything automatically there.
I use Cactus V2 triggers to sync it to the camera. Using the test I can also trigger the flash multiple times during a long exposure.
If you want a flash that will automatically flash several times during a short exposure, that is more expensive. Elsinore has used her flash that does that several times.
December 11, 2008 at 6:49 am #19894ParticipantI thought corsec67 was talking about his camera. I need to learn more about equipment I guess. That strobe thing sounds cool.

Picture and more info about all of my off camera lighting stuff is here. (budget 2 strobe off camera lighting system)
Yeah, you think the camera is complicated, just wait until you add in 2 or 6 other lights, all of which with different settings, bounce modes, issues, and positions.

orionidParticipantFinally had some worthwhile ideas about 4 hours after the contest went public. Yaya! And I think somewhere on the order of 400 B-sides….
