Leica Guy Posted June 6, 2016 Share #101 Posted June 6, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) A couple pics of the adapter I made that screws into the filter threads on the Q. I took a filter holder from B&H. Lucroit 100mm 49-52mm adaptor. I cut it down to fit inside the ring flash. Welcome, dear visitor!

Leica Guy Posted June 6, 2016 Share #102 Posted June 6, 2016 Last. This is what I think of as a good photo taken with my Canon 5D3 and five flashes. Welcome, dear visitor!

marchyman Posted June 6, 2016 Share #103 Posted June 6, 2016 I think the Canon flash needs the smarts inside Canon cameras to trigger external flashes. Canon flashes (except for the newer RF versions) communication with pre flash pulses. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted June 7, 2016 Share #104 Posted June 7, 2016 Not exactly true. The ring flash will trigger the other flashes just fine when NOT installed on the Q. It somehow is defeated when installed in the Q hot shoe. What's odd to me is the ring flash still fires with the shutter push on the Q. It's strictly manual, but it does fire. Somehow the Q inhibits the pre-flash pulses you were referring to. I wonder if I can tape over a contact to not disable the pre flashes from happening. Does anyone know the pin out electrical signals on the Q hot shoe? I have an oscilloscope. I think I'll take a look and see if I can make any sense of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonomaBear Posted June 15, 2016 Share #108 Posted June 15, 2016 "Red" the cat, relaxing after some meds, loves sleeping on my desk. Half snore, half purr. Borrowed camera to evaluate. 28mm lens, full frame sensor, f2.8, 1/60th, ISO 1600, manual focus in "Macro" mode I have forgotten how rewarding manual photography can be, especially on a great digital sensor (24MB) with great glass (Summilux) Thank you Miss Beverly for tormenting me with new found appreciation for long lost skills! {text from FaceBook post...} Welcome, dear visitor!

SonomaBear Posted June 17, 2016 Share #109 Posted June 17, 2016 (edited) There is a Genie awakening within me... the magic of manual photography. It is the Q awakening me. Manual macro focus, f1.7, 1/250, ISO 320, patience and a lovely Rhône white wine. In 1953 my grandfather taught me the few steps to take: Compose (horizontal & vertical); Compose (depth with f/stop); Feel the light & expose (shutter speed) for it; focus on a single point. The EVF of the Q does all of this in a clear, logical fashion. Nowhere does it prove itself better than in close-ups. With 28mm, we learn to crop the composition. The Q sensor delivers amazing image quality of water drops in a cropped image! Welcome, dear visitor!

beauport Posted June 18, 2016 Share #110 Posted June 18, 2016 On a fine walk in Edinburgh's National Botanical Garden I saw this and thought it would be a good subject to give the macro feature a try.
