ok the me "lighting everything on earth cuz I happen to shoot basketball strobbed" jokes are getting old :(

not just basketball :whistle:

Not gunna lie, the thought of trying to strobe the pitcher or 1st/3rd base popped into my head as an idea to try something cool :p

uhhhh Selfpwn ?! :shifty:

Hmm lets see.. 2x SB-900, 1x SB-800 (all 3 shot through softboxes) and 2 assistants with reflectors just for the looks. No? :unsure:

god i wish haha

See crazzy, those will NEVER get old :p Just live with us mate :p or with the strobes in any case :laugh:

Talking about flashes. Me and a friend are making a ringflash. So far it looks like this:

The basic construction

With Sigma 180 inside it for size comparison.

It took a while to create a hole since the bowl is not made of metal that is easily cut. So a heavy machinery was required.

We are still missing the essential part however, material for the diffuser. I guess we will have to try it with a piece of cloth until we find something more solid.

In the end it should look something like this (this is made by someone else)

Nice photo there man.

Little update on the ringflash

Inner side of the inner part has been painted matte (sort of) black

Holes (8) for mounting the diffuser. The basic and the easiest solution for holding the diffuser is using tie-wraps. However we are thinking of maybe using snap buttons in some way.

Hole for the flash. It will have soft material around the edges for flash protection and filling the gaps.

wont that reduce the power in operation as the flash is effectively "bouncing" around in the ring and then out? Surely silve or white would be better, no?

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
