Setting up the 'studio' on my workbench took about an hour. Then another hour of shooting, three different shots. Followed by 3 hours stacking, retouching the stack, and then tweaking the colour and exposure in #rawtherapee. I've got two more stacks to look at, but I don't have another 6 hours available for processing just now!
I'm using a #Godox transmitter along with a Godox TT685 for my main flash, and a #Nikon SB600 as my second flash. The Godox flash works flawlessly. However, the Nikon flash (mounted on a Godox receiver) doesn't shoot about 10-20% of the time, and occasionally delivers too much or too little power. Both flashes are set to 1/128 or 1/64 (diffused through waxpaper), so it may be worth getting one of the little Godox TT350 flashes as my secondary, if it's more reliable.
Despite owning a perfectly fine studio strobe and multiple speedlights, I've succumbed to the allure of the very retro Godox Lux Senior. It'll be here next week!
I've owned a variety of Godox / Flashpoint lights and triggers, including a couple of AD200s when I was shooting professionally. They've always been reliable.
The Lux Senior been on my wish list for ~2 years, and seems like just the thing to use with my Fujifilm X-T5, as well as my film cameras. #Godox
Windowsill moth #orchid (Phalaenopsis) and christmas #cactus (Schlumbergera) are both blooming in white at the same time. The latter clearly didn't get the memo Christmas was over a month ago!
