Prompted by Bill's flashlight picture today, I'd like to nominate a flashlit picture as one of the month's themes. Flashlight as in torch that is

**robgski** · 03-03-2020, 07:25 AM

Great idea!

Exciting news, something I have wanted to do for ages is get an old school enlarger and print some photos properly. I have periodically checked eBay and the likes and finally found a cheap one to have a play with. The common wisdom that these things are available for peanuts is just not true anymore (in the UK anyway).

Lots of clearing out to do in the garage before I can get a space to put it but looking forward to the adventure.

Agree. Good one, and done. Changed it up a bit too:

Saturday March 14th = Flashlight as in torch that is
Saturday March 21st = Door(s)
Saturday March 28th = Veiled

Cool! Please show us the thing too at your convenience after you have it rocking and rolling.

I own a torch that has white, red, and blue filters, and it is a lot of fun for long exposures.

even selfies (Scary Stuff, kids!)

But a multiple-LED light allows for some interesting effects as well.

If the torch is really bright, you can diffuse it, avoiding over exposure,

or use a low power bulb to truly paint a long exposure.

Laser Pointers are a kind of torch, right?

Sounds like you have some fun ahead of you

Yep, the days of dirt cheap dark room equipment are a decade past, I think. My dad still has his old stuff, and I've told him to not get rid of it without warning me first. Not that I have any urge to go back to film, and I don't really have the space needed to set it up. But...

I'm sure I had some red-and-blue 3D glasses once...

Oh dear. I’ve fallen behind in posting already. :/

I have photos though, and even uploaded and tagged them

How’s everyone else doing?

The weeks are too busy, at least the weekends leave me a little time to make an effort.

Flashlights aside :-) I managed to get two Explores back to back with my Plate shot and Elk-hair caddis!

I'm doing it the English way - "hanging on in quiet desperation"

This was an announcement by the Department of Pop Cultural References.

Congrats

Good work pays off.

I haven't had an Explore in ages, let alone a double. But then my imagery hasn't been very good, either. I miss getting in "the zone".

Oh, and I guess getting out and about to shoot isn't a given these days. Our son and d-i-l are quaranteened. They were on a flight with some passengers (now) confirmed with the Corona virus, and more fellow passengers have tested positive after that. My d-i-l's test result is due tomorrow as she's having some flu-like symptoms.

Yeah, it's coming closer.

Her flu has worsened and it's confirmed to be the corona virus. A doctor visited today - If it get worse still she'll be hospitalised.

Yeah, I might not get around to take any pictures today.
