I only used one flash bouncing off a bigW catalogue behind the "drip tray".
IIRC it was set to 1/16.33 power.

Is Mr. Dan (photobitz) in here? I got a question regarding routers (interfaces and VLSM).

No, but I do have a 30D here you're interested in. (runs into bomb shelter)

You really should try dropping the model in the water, they make a much better splash.

The language is colorful when they surface again too

oh, might have to try it this weekend

OK, My "eBay Special" inverter arrived this morning, 300w/600w peak, Pure Sine Wave.

It came with a cigarette lighter plug and alligator clips.

(NOTE: The inverter is Australian "C-Tick" approved, sort-of-similar-to-but-not-quite-the-same as the US UL-Listed)

I have an old Fork-Lift battery that I came across in a previous life (12v / 35Ah @ 20 hr rate) that I charged up yesterday.

Also in the mix is an "eBay Special" 250w/s strobe with 50w modelling light.

I made sure the inverter was "OFF" and using the alligator leads I connected the inverter to the battery and turned the inverter on.

So far so good....Turned the inverter off, and with the modelling lamp removed from the strobe, plugged the strobe in, turned the inverter on, and nothing happened !!

OK..... Best I turn the strobe on !!

Did that, the fan in the inverter ran, the strobe went "BEEP" and the "READY" light came on, and the fan in the inverter stopped running.

With the strobe set to 1/1 power, I hit the "TEST" switch on the strobe, it flashed, the inverter fan ran, and one hippopotamus, two hippopotamus, later the green "READY" light came on the strobe and the inverter fan stopped running.

Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat...You get the idea

Insert 50w modelling globe.....Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat..........

Using my highly accurate, chronometer certified, one hippopotamus, two hippopotamus timing mechanism, the recharge time for the strobe appears to be the same for the mains power so it does not appear that the strobe is drawing the maximum current that the inverter can supply.

I have a shoot on the weekend (weather permitting)...I'll post "field-trial" results later.

HTH,

Austen.

Nice! If you hadn't said anything about the Maccas cup reflection I would have thought it was funky looking flare...
