thanks, but it should be only used really as a guide, see my other vid on better water drops for a more he;pful guide

Thanks, your second video was also helpful. I have two macro lenses, a 150mm prime and a 70mm prime but I was hoping to get a better depth of field by using a 200mm lens from a greater distance. What are your thoughts on that?@@d.g.l.photography89

thanks

thanks 🙂

It's a single picture with a little cloning out of stems

if taken apart and cleaned, it possible you tightened up too much on the large side nut, i did that once, if still not working, possibly the battery needs replacing

@d.g.l.photography89 Hi Darren, I tightened the nut and the loosened it and still not working the light is on but maybe the battery is running out of power I will try a new one. Thanks for your reply

the white spirit, gives an even mix to the powder, little to no lumps when compared with mixing in water

The flash “sync” speed may be 1/200th of a second, but the flash duration is much, much shorter (as short as approximately 1/2000th second). You’re shooting in the dark so the long exposure time (shutter speed) is made mostly irrelevant by the short duration of the flash. The flash is doing all the work as there’s no ambient light. Did that help?

@@AndrewOvenden I do understand that the the effective exposure is the duration of the flash which is why I'm not understanding why one would use a shutter speed that is longer than the flash sync speed. I just rewatched the video a couple of times and don't see any reference to any shutter speeds so, unless the video has been edited between when I posted this question 3 months ago and now, I'm not sure why I even asked the question. But thanks for your reply!

having a long exposure in the dark, and not going with flash sync, simply because the hit rate of using flash sync was hit and miss, the triggers are not 100% accurate for firing purposes, but with a long exposure, that single moment of the flash sync is now irrelevant as long as the drops occure when the shutter is open

You’re welcome 😊

Thanks Mike, hope you had fun 😊

in the uk i got mine from rigu, online seller

the colour filter, is in this case a small round plastic coloured disc, which is on the end of the tourch, inside the universal connector

Thanks Rob, i actually have used 3 balls in an image, if placed close together, you can see the other balls in the first ball, all light paited of course. I not got a good image with a prism yet, but i keep trying

Thanks

Thanks Dale

i got mine from RIGU in the uk

I have the MIOPS and Ploto water droppers, for water drop only the Miops kit, but for other options the pluto trigger (bit more expensive) and water valve. Not too much difference between the two, although the MIOPS doesnt need batteries, the Pluto one still does

i used mini clamps, think they are called speed clamps, 1 to hold the dropped and another to clam the side of the dropped onto the wood, or i guess g clamps can do the same thing

thanks

Hi Bob, i used a 100mm glass ball in these videos

@@d.g.l.photography89 Thank You for the reply.

@@Bob71650 your welcome

I would not name any brand, i've used several different types over the last few years and are all pretty similar, but the one in the video is a single LED, powered by a single AA battery

they brighten up the room and give you photo oportunities 😀

Hope they work for you

Not everything has to be complicated in life, Thanks Chris

Thanks David, Once it set up, and focused, It easy to move the lights around. I would say the only hard part is getting the exposure right, it being so dark a picture and exposing for the light only is tricky, and moving the lights around, especially with the mirror, throws off settings quickly

@@d.g.l.photography89 Yes, it was that last sentence I was thinking of :-)

Your welcome

Glad it was helpful

Thanks Rob

i can not think of a way currently, apart from triggering the flashes through the camera, ie, pluto to fire the camera which fires the flashes through remotes

It took me a while to figure it out, but its so simple when you just sit back and think about it. your welcome

your welcome

Have fun!

Thanks Sam, slowly getting a few more ideas sorted and recorded. but unfortunatly real life work gets in the way

if the lines are dotted, it possible the "pulse" of the light, LED. i get the same from some of the toy wands i use. not sure there a fix apart from try a different light source

I got my LPB brushes from rigu.co.uk and i got some light painting paradise ones from Amazon

Hi, i was using 2 Yongnuo yn568ex II, with soft boxes on

Really silly question how do you get the soft boxes to fit the flashes thanks

@@gavincaventer3272 the softboxes i have where btought for spped lights, made so they can be taken out in the field for easy use. there a simple clamp in the back which grabs and holds the head of a flash, think i brought the pixapro softboxes for this reason, hope that helps
