make us cry

I really like the EX10 clip and wanted one on my Quark => needs another hole.

These glamour shots are all well and good, and fun to see. But I got mine to use, and it's already sporting its share of scuffs and wear. And IMO, no clip beats the functionality and position of the EX10's, so out came the center punches and cutting fluid. Unfortunately I do not yet have any reassembled pics because the first couple threads on the clip screws are stripped -- getting together a list of stuff to order from McMaster and then I'll get some pics up.

Sorry if I made anyone cry. 😱 I'm well equipped to buff her back to as-new, and will probably buy a replacement tailcap if they become available. :thumbsup:

Just wanted to compliment you on your images :thumbsup: Some of the best Flashlight images I've seen. 4Sevens should licence these from you!

Thanks! Maybe 4Seven's will see your comment and contact me! :wave:

A bit OT (so I apologise in advance) but I guess as this is a 'show us your photo' thread it can be allowed?

Q. how did you light these? 3 lights, 1 main and 2 gelled (1 blue + 1 magenta)??

Snoots, barndoors, grids??

Yup, exactly right. 3 lights -- main up and over with softbox, with two gridded kicker lights behind, gelled to blue and purple.

I've been trying to work it. Your background is a great choice as well. Very nicely done and nice PP to finish off.

Thanks again. The blue/purple shots were all pretty much "straight out of Lightroom" because I was in a hurry to get them posted. The shot of my two Ti Quarks in post #98 with the red/yellow gels was post processed a bit to clean up some dust specs and add the logo. 🙂

Strangely, my second Quark Ti (123) took longer than usual to be shipped to me. Just when I was about to enquire from 4Sevens, it turned up today. 🙂

They should. 4Sevens stuff is great, they have a strong brand and excellent products but their marketing and flashlight images could be much improved IMO. Their website images of their flashlights just do not do them justice. Even now, they have no proper images of the Ti lights on their site.

Anyway! Here's hoping they give you a call 🙂

Yup, exactly right. 3 lights -- main up and over with softbox, with two gridded kicker lights behind, gelled to blue and purple.

Thanks for the clarification. You nailed the lighting for these. Small product photography is much harder than it looks (especially with reflective surfaces) and this is a pretty complex set-up that you made to look simple and very effective. Are you a professional, or just an experimental perfectionist? !

I really like what you have done with #98 (polished to a Ti shine 🙂) but I prefer the colour combination of your earlier ones. There is no EXIF; what gear do you use, if you don't mind sharing?

Sorry to all if I diverted things a bit OT :shakehead

Sardaukar - great shot and I enjoyed your Flikr album. There seems to be a lot of talented photographers, here at CPF. Is there a dedicated photo thread, or something similar? ( New boy here!)

I enjoy all images of nice looking, shiny lights. Keep 'em coming :twothumbs

I just P&S. But finally got the clip on.

Beamie, nice shot. Btw, what boot is that? Doesn't seem stock.

Its a cone washer pushed down over the tactical boot to allow tail standing, thanks.

Received my Quark 123T yesterday.

Front view

Stock clip has been replaced with a shorter clip.

The head can be unobstructedly rotated now.

I thought the clips on the single 123 models where not removeable since you had to choose clip or clipless when ordering.

After the head has be disassembled, the clip can be removed, and the emitter board can be accessed at the same time.

The clip of single 123 models is installed in the slot beneath the head O-ring.

My pictures always stink. I think I reached my height of picture taking with Longman and Shorty.

 

[GarageBoy]

I love the EX10 clip mod. Can't wait to see it

 

[fyrstormer]

Regular AA with a tritium vial in the void where the clip was.

That is a great idea!
