Nice work, as usual. The images to which you linked were quite small on my computer. I couldn't get larger versions of the individual images, but by clicking on your name, I got to the page with all the images in the series, so I am not exactly sure I found larger version of the correct images. I enjoyed the entire series in any event.

Re: Strobes, studio and students
Using another flash to trigger studio strobes might work better with a plain old pre-TTL flash mounted on the hot-shoe. Just look for one without too high a trigger voltage. I'm partial to Vivitar 285HV myself. The older "Made in Japan" models are better than the later "Made in China" versions, which don't seem to have the same durability. On 4/22/2018 1:46 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: Mark, what you experienced is one of the reasons I don't recommend folks try that popup flash triggering hack. The other of course is the light pollution from the popup flash getting into the shot and flattening the contrast. But you have at least two possible issues with each student's camera: the x-TTL pre-flash, and the "red eye reduction" pre-flash. Either or both of these might be enabled in any given camera. The xTTL preflash is usually enabled even if manual exposure is in use because of the possibility for remote flash control. I used to use that feature with the K20D and the K-3 as a poor man's remote trigger. No danger of the popup flash appearing in the shot because it doesn't fire when the shutter is open. But it only works with flashes that support a pre-flash -- manufacturer dependent timing -- and some newer Chinese strobes that can be set to ignore 1-n pre-flashes. BTW, most PCB strobes come with a really long old-school PC-Sync cable. That might have helped with any of the students cameras that have a sync socket. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: OT GESO: flamingos at pulicat
thanks Paul, Jack and Alan... it is true the flamingos were far away (600mm and cropped to 50 per cent) but flamingos are all about angles, geometries and colours (or so i console myself)... :) On Sun, 22 Apr 2018 13:44:34 +0200 "Alan C" wrote: > Nice shots but they seem to be quite distant.

Please forgive the perch for the moment. That will be changed soon! This taken along a roadside yesterday.

Re: OT GESO: flamingos at pulicat
Nice shots but they seem to be quite distant. Unfortunately Flamingos are synonymous with poor water quality. We get flocks of them on the mine slimes dams about a Km from the nearest public vantage point. An illegal drone (or a special permit) would do the trick!

OT GESO: flamingos at pulicat
so i went to pulicat again (with a friend who shoots nikon d850 and a 300/2.8 with a 1.4tc), the wintering ground for migratory birds, because the son wanted to visit it. and i was resigned to him monopolising the k5iis/55-300. when we met at the lake, my friend had a little surprise for me. he had brought his d500 and the tamron 150-600 g2 for me to shoot with. many birders here consider it an ideal combination but i struggled with the camera, may be due to lack of familiarity with the nikon system. anyway, 4 photos shot with that combo: https://somethingfeathered.wordpress.com/2018/04/22/flamingos-at-pulicat/ comments appreciated ~subash p.s.: i am getting myself a second-hand sigma 150-500 this month end, so the DAL 55-300 goes to the son, along with a used K-r i've bought for him... :) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
