Popular Post carl_valiquet Posted November 19, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 19, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) I titled this photo « star» because the beer that Andan is drinking is a Bintang. Bintang is brewed in Indonesia, and means STAR Image taken with the M10Mono. And a 35 Summilux ASPH. Direct flash mounted on hot shoe. (sort of gives a « movie star» look. I think) Cheers. Carl.

didier Posted November 20, 2022 Share #2 Posted November 20, 2022 Nice shot Carl. Good lighting, nice balance between model and blurred background, with rather strong contrast I particularly like in this picture And Bintang reminds me of my trip to Bali 10 years ago !

fotografr Posted November 20, 2022 Share #4 Posted November 20, 2022 You have managed to have the flash effect mostly confined to her face rather than spread over her while body. That's a very nice effect. Cheers, Brent 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very nice effect. By the way, she could have been drinking a beer from Texas, but it's pretty awful stuff. 😉 Cheers, Brent Welcome, dear visitor!

Nachtmsk Posted November 21, 2022 Share #7 Posted November 21, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Really nice use of flash Carl. I like the pose too. Speaking of which, what Flash did you use? I've been looking for a flash for my M10 and was wondering if I needed to get the Leica Flash or could use some other one. Thanks Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted November 21, 2022 Share #8 Posted November 21, 2022 I agree with Mike and Brent. Though I don't drink beer, I've frequently heard Lone Star denigrated 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking for a flash for my M10 and was wondering if I needed to get the Leica Flash or could use some other one. Thanks Mike Hi Mike. In answer to your question : what flash did you use. I am using a « retro look» LUX SENIOR flash. I am having fun with it. Not trying to make perfect photos. When folded, the flash takes little space in the camera bag. I use it in M mode and play with the power dial. Here are a few photos of myself with this flash. Hope my answer helps. Regards. Carl Welcome, dear visitor!

That's so true, we can just play around until it looks good. I've shot film for so long in the past that when flash is concerned I initially think I need to make sure TTL is working and I have a definite exposure. With digital it's simpler. That flash looks a little like the flash my father had with his Argus camera back in the 60's. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might pick up one of those flashes myself for the pure fun of experimentation. Are you retired in Indonesia? I'm guessing that on the location listed in your profile. My wife was just telling me to consider Indonesia as a possible retirement location; she visited Bali over the summer and loved it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have it, but never thought about trying it with my M 🙂 Edited November 30, 2022 by Lelmer 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
