Guys, I just created this thread in order to share pics of dive lights I have made. This was requested on another thread.

Thanks
Hector

Sorry to say it but your pics could do with a lot of improvement.

For a start post them in the thread instead of just a link to them.

The hot spots are all over exposed.

Also the photos have to have a standard setting.
Yours have different ISO's and shutter speeds.
ISO, Aperture, shutter speed, white balance, zoom, white balance etc all need to be the same for all pics otherwise you simply can not compare them.

A couple of pics of the same beam may also be beneficial. Say one that shows the whole beam including spill. This one whould probably have to have the hot spot over exposed to show the much dimmer spill. And a second pic where the hot spot is not overexposed to show comparisons to other lights.

No expert photography here!!! and I still haven't figured out how to post pics. Other forums have a "manage attachement" feature that makes it really simple, where is that here?

when you want to post an image, just click this button above the textbox:

and enter the link of the image ;-) that's just one click more than just pasting the link :twothumbs

and packhorse is right... these pictures cannot be compared, use manual settings (locked iso, shutterspeed and f/# to start with). use the brightest light first and play around with the settings until you get an image which is not overexposed. Then use the same settings for the other lights. This will show the lights "as seen through the same eye".

Thanks Johan... Appreciate the help. Glad to know there are people willing to help rather than bash you the first time you do something they don't like! I found the button and will use it. I will also play with the camera.

My apologies 350. It was not my intention to "bash" you. Simply help you understand the importance of standardisation of pic's.

If your camera does not have a manual mode where all the same settings can be kept then an alternative is a pic with 2 or 3 beams in it. It will not show the full beam of each light very well but it will allow a decent comparison on the size, intensity and colour of the hot spots.

No worries Pack... The comment was not directed at you! I understand your point as it was obvious to me that something was not right based on the way the HID looks... The HID is really not that blue in color.
Thanks

If you need assistance with the photos, just post the type of camera you have and someone will walk through it.
