Good job and congrats on winning! Would you mind sharing how you made the strobe-flashlight?

[No1BRC]

Hey thx,

I used a ~30 years old hanimex flash.

For the "flashlightmod" you need a flash that has a thyristor circuit with photocell(thats mostly called "Automatic Mode").

I located the photo cell and bypassed it with a variable resistor(I think it was a 22kOhm).(and completely darkened the photo cell.. just in case if I wanted to built it back).

BTW: This hack can be used for highspeed photography, too- as you can extremely short down the flash duration.

Dan

Great! It's always inspiring to see the process through which a certain picture was achieved. Thanks for posting this!

Hi, nice work! ;)

BTW: can you tell me what music composition is played?

[No1BRC]

Hey, thank you.

The music is the instrumental of TI's song called "Motivation" and can be found here on youtube, too.

Creative Thinking.

What was the inspiration.. Dont say the Poketwizzy

[No1BRC]

Thanks for your comment- also for the question :-)

I indeed had the idea to create a photo like this some time ago.

First of all- I'm a cinematographer, and I love to include the lights of a scene within the frame/composition. For me,doing this makes a scene more convincing, yet it's not so obvious intentionally lit up.

[No1BRC]

So, I built an adjustable torch-flashgun, which gives me some more creative space(+plus real 5500°K) than the normal bulbtorches I use in motionpicture.

Final inspirations were the unluckily current nuclear discussions + the atomic bombing in Japan which took place about this time 63years ago.

And I just started putting videos in my channel and at the same moment strobist started this thing... so I thought :)

I'm pointing out: they won't be the last videos XD

Best regards,

Danish

[No1BRC]

Thanx a lot my friend!
