One photo every day: Playing with (and learning) the Hähnel Captur Transmitter and 2 Receivers (Studio) (67/365)
Today's #onephotoeveryday is a bit late, as it's already long past midnight. I just spent almost three long hours trying to find out how to remotely trigger both the camera and the flash in a way that they both sync.
Seems I just can't figure that shit out.
Yes, it is a piece of cake if the flash is mounted on the camera, but if both the camera and flash are on separate receivers, and I try to trigger them via the remote transmitter, the flash will always go off before the camera catches up.
It also works nicely if the transmitter is on the camera, and the flash is set as a slave. But for the life of me I can't seem to be able to set them trigger simultaneously if both are on separate receivers.
Does anyone know how to work this out? Do I have to use the on-camera flash to trigger the external one as a slave? And how should it work if my camera didn't have an on-board flash, like most of the professional cameras don't? Would I need to buy a second flashgun if I upgraded my camera body some day?
Well whatever, I'll go with this nice photo I took of my fine subject: A Kit Lens, Canon EFS 18-55 mm. Since it didn't have that much colour anyway I made it entirely a black and white photo.

Btw. I dislike the 5 tag limit.

If you liked the post, consider buying me a beer:
so finally your lens are getting protrayed as pic.....yet its an awesome pic.....so thumbs uo for you....
steem on & stay blissful....
damn its really amazing to capture like that glad u figured that out hows your health ?
I hope I'm not flushing my health down the drain by spending nights awake, but I guess I'm alright now. :) A little bit tired, and my head aches from all that cursing when trying to get the devices working together.
Oh, and I forgot to thank you. Thanks! :)
According to what I had read, I forgot the name of the article, it's best to rest or sleep around 10 pm to 2am because that's when your body can best repair itself. Then, you could wake up to do some work around 2am till 4am and take another nap! I tried this several times, the body clock responded nicely.
It's a bit like cats nap. I do hope you put your priority on your health first!
By the way, you are trying to beat technology! They are not negotiable, follow the rules! Ouch!
Hope your health will be on top form soon.
Cheers.
hey @gamer00, are you fine, i didnt see another #onephotoeverday from you for more than 16 hours. are you fine?? estas bien?
I was on a prolonged night photo escapade. Took me a while to get back to a computer. I'll be sleeping in tomorrow I guess. I heard there'll be fireworks in the harbour tomorrow night so I am hoping to get some photos there but not sure about my stamina though. This night took me a bit too long.
Whao. Photography is your second love obviously. I am confident in the quality of the escapades. Firework will be cool to capture. More power to your elbow. Take some rest and eat well. Descansa.
u photo your lens, in future photo you will photo your camera and then photo your photo ;)
I have already done all that. ;)

"Lens in a fog," cause you couldn't find out its mysteries ;) hehe
you ofcourse need some advice from photography veterans. I can always see thee great part of your pictures.
I advise you to apply to professional photographers or a hardware store, can they help you solve the problem of flash, I hope I helped you @gamer00
