Distance Beamshot Thread (Review Consolidation: 22 lights) ..run and hide,56k

[csshih]

This thread is for distance shots.. for relatively close range shots, please visit here.

Greetings all:

I created this thread to consolidate all the distance beamshots for my reviews..
I will add more on as more lights come in. the seemingly random "[]" means that the shots were done on the same day.

Note: unless written otherwise, I am using fully charged batteries.

The house at the very end is roughly ~460 feet (~140 meters) away.

I take pictures using a high ISO to help make things faster, and reduce possibily of blur. I am not worried about image noise, as they are resized to rather small proportions.

Thank you very much for posting these shots for all these lights. This sure helps in deciding one light over another. Am new to this interesting hobby which you can tell with the following question.

I assume the 1st shot (5sec) is what one's eye will see for each light. What do the other 2, 1, and 1/2 second timed shots tell you abot these lights? What is the purpose of the different speeds?

Thanks

[csshih]

I would actually say it's leaning more towards the 2 second exposures.

multiple exposure are to show how well the lights throw as some bits of the pictures may be overexposed on the super throwers, and also try to show the beam profile/any artifacts, rings, etc.

Awesome shots. Makes me kick myself for not buying a L950m when I had the chance.

Thanks for great shots.

I understand but those four pictures are too small, I can barely see anything in my monitor. Two (or even 1) but bigger ones would be much better.

indeed.
no time to work on a beamshot comparison page lately. they will be using 800px (across) sized images
