Okay couldn't resist yet another phone camera shot coming your way! :p


This tiny picture (not as grainy as the previous one) depicts a slightly yellow tinted Colossus (left) compared to the large 4300K MotorPro host (right) both powered by (supposed) 55w HID components :)

Man, you need a digital Camera.:D

 

[LIGHTSMAD]

control shot!

around 7,000 to 8,000 lumens

any help with the camera settings guys!

first pic is with flash and second pic is with firework display.

i have all these weird settings like

1.fireworks
2.beach & snow
3.backlight

its a 7million px samsung digimax

i have'nt a clue how to work it:thinking: camera's are not my thing!!!

 

[LIGHTSMAD]

its funny that you cannot see the rain in the first pic....there is only one minute between them!!!


maybe its the setting!

 

[Flashanator]

do you actual have a xeray 75w HID barn burner?

you need to at least take photos with both camera and light on tripods or something stable.

No flash, try using your cameras timer function to avoid camera shack.

you need to get into your cameras manual settings for good shots.

play around with the exposure and aperture settings

Well last night was perfect for some HID beam shots, just the right amount of moisture to be very visible, but not so much that it diffuses the beam quickly.

Here are a couple shots of my HF HID (11"/35W/~6000k) on my Jeep:

I realized that in the latter position, the beam was reflecting off of a window on my house, and in to a neighbor's window, so I didn't keep it that way for long. Also, another neighbor saw me walking with the light and asked if I was looking for something.

Nah, you mean a GOOD digital camera! :crackup:

I've got 2 digicams that work well enough during the daylight hours but their ability in low light scenarios truly sucks bigtime, especially when you consider they get owned by a nokia phone-camera! :(

haha, a photographer who looks at this pics will say that the noise levels are unacceptable :crazy:

I'll be getting back my DSLR (Canon EOS 400D) soon, as my exams just finished:twothumbs

Edit: Waiting until my POB arrives next week to post some beamshots...
Beam pics of Mag85 taken down, u can still see them in the borealis thread at the incad board.

I cant wait to see the vector POB blow away my mag85 in terms of beamshots:naughty:

lol, u have finally decided to get the POB. i did some testing at kranji DAM and the police coast guard replied with their own searchlight. i guess, too bright is also not good...

btw remember to get a stepdown converter.

Since the weather isn´t to good a the moment(-5C and snowing) I just took a quick pic in the garden showing the Streamlight Litebox HID and my PH50..

PH50 left and Litebox right..

If you watch closely you can see the snow in both beams..
..winter approaching..

I wanted to make a shot of my N30 yesterday night but it brought along a few helicopters :green:

I suspect being only 10 miles from an air force station had something to do with it, but the N30 is hardly a hazard compared to AN/VSS lights:candle:

anyway they were circling about at a pretty low altitude [not sure because its night, but the windows were rattling pretty hard...almost like the shuttle launch down at the cape]

Next time, leave the N30 on and walk away a bit. Set up your camera and wait...

Maybe one of those choppers will land next to it....then you will have the best photo ever of your N30 :D




:whistle:

 

[kaimaikid]

Maybe they got confused and thought that that was the control tower light?? :oops::shakehead:D

 

[Illum]

the N30 is not all that bright...its actually quite dim compared to the runway light on a near by civilian airport:ohgeez:


I'm afraid to try "sky bounce" again and its way too cold here to do anything at night [real feel ~44F, unheard of in Florida where the norm is about ~80F ambient most of the year]
