It’s the end of October, and it’s Stock Clearance time! Random unrelated pictures with some helpful technical details follow.<\/p>\n


\nParis Hilton’s album launch at Zouk, with emcees Joey G and Paris Hilton<\/s> Daphne Iking.<\/p>\n


\nThis was in Manual Exposure mode; when flashing, there are a few variables that control the exposure of the flashed subjects and the unflashed subjects, namely:<\/p>\n

ISO<\/b> – increasing the sensitivity makes the flash appear to reach further. It also increases the brightness of the unflashed subjects.
\nAperture<\/b> – same effect as ISO; brighter apertures (e.g. F2.8) make the flash appear to reach further, and brighten the unflashed subjects.
\nShutter Speed<\/b> – choosing a slower shutter speed brightens the unflashed subjects. Faster shutter speeds can kill off the light that is present, so choose 1\/500th of a second to make it seem like the only light is the flash. A slow shutter speed can leave motion trails on a moving flashed subject, or leave some colored lighting on the flashed subject.
\nFlash intensity\/power<\/b> – a more powerful flash reaches further. In this case, the flash power is at 2\/3rds (so it only hits the front dancers and not the back dancers.)<\/p>\n


\nCindy<\/i>! These are the same ol’ dancers I see everywhere!<\/p>\n


\nFlash the smoke!<\/p>\n


\nI say to Cheryl<\/a>: I’ve got a tent. \ud83d\ude09<\/i><\/p>\n


\nOoo. Smoke.<\/p>\n


\n“What’s up dog?<\/i>”<\/p>\n


\nAnd now, for more pussy!<\/p>\n


\nStalker.<\/p>\n


\nStalked.<\/p>\n


\nLaundry Bar’s furniture doesn’t look so cool in daylight.<\/p>\n


\nThere it is, for everybody who doesn’t know where to find Laundry Bar in The Curve; it’s under that pointy dome, near Cineleisure.<\/p>\n


\nI like how the wheelchair dude gets mall wall space.<\/p>\n


\nCiplak plays dress up every appearance.<\/p>\n


\nA normal macro shot of a not-found-in-Malaysia Nokia phone.<\/p>\n


\nIf only I had second-curtain flash.<\/p>\n


\nThe difference between a bright and dark aperture; left: F2.8 is a bright aperture; right: F8.0 is a dark aperture, needing slower shutter speeds, but lets more objects appear to be in focus.<\/p>\n


\nWe now proceed to the National Science Center. When I was a kid I always wanted to be an inventor!<\/p>\n


\nWow, a wau<\/i>.<\/p>\n


\nNow that’s fun.<\/p>\n


\nCorny heart.<\/p>\n


\nMore flash balancing, featuring smashpOp<\/a> and Kingsley<\/a>.<\/p>\n


\nLeft side, top to bottom<\/b>: A 52-67mm step up ring and a 67-72 step up ring; my Fujifilm Digital Q1 manual-focus infrared-modded camera<\/a> with an empty 52mm ring superglued to it; so I can screw filters in front of it, (though I have to remove filters to focus) ending with the 52-67 reverse macro adapter, which makes it kinda cute.
\nRight side, top to bottom<\/b>: The two rings were superglued, so they are male on both sides, at 52mm and 67mm, to make a reverse macro adapter<\/a> to mount Paul<\/a>‘s Nikkor 50mm F1.8D lens in front of his Nikkor 18-135mm F3.5-5.6G lens to make supermacro like this hole<\/a>; me behind the adapter behind my Canon Powershot A520.<\/p>\n

Speaking of supermacro, check out this guy’s setup on a Canon Powershot A70<\/a>; he did it way back in 2004 with a flash, even! (However, gluing two equal-sized threads may not give as much surface area.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
