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.

Fun at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo today. Love photographing the Gecko. Have no idea of the scientific name. Sorry. I really need to get better at this and I will. :-) 64c6033d6ea72da6fd11f8bf254d555

Last. This is what I think of as a good photo taken with my Canon 5D3 and five flashes.

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

"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!

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!

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.

I'm enjoying the macro feature of the Q, easy to use and fine quality images.  Another photo from the Edinburgh National Botanical Garden

A beautiful display of bokeh expertly utilized. This is one of the best examples of it I've seen. I might be tempted to photoshop out that contrail or whatever it is, however.

 

Too much perfection taking the contrail (indeed that's what it is) out? I don't know, maybe I do it and post de result here...
