Not the finest of photos, I'll admit. But in a little over a month, and even with a forecast of snow, the change is marked.

My bokeh appears to have measles here... Not sure whether the lens was filthy or just rained upon. Ah well, it's clean now!
Another pic after the jump.

I love this bit of kit. I reckon it's probably about half paid for itself vs takeaways, and I've only had it a couple of months 😂.

As fresh as it comes, straight from the oven.
Yes, I did eat some of it immediately.

It turns out that being able to adjust power and turn specific flashes on and off remotely is as useful as I thought it would be.
I'm very pleased with the Godox setup, although my older 430EX flashes don't talk to the radios like the newer units do, so they are on/off and trigger only, no remote power adjustment is possible. I'll probably (eventually) either replace them with used 430EX IIs or more likely go for a couple more new Godox TT600s. Pricing is similar, actually less for new TT600s, and the included accessories are pretty nice.

Happy accident

I was messing around with water and flashguns again (there is at least one theme emerging here).
One flash failed to fire on me for one or two shots, perhaps a transient radio issue, or the batteries in were dying, and couldn't keep up; but I ended up preferring the shot where the flash didn't do its thing!
I've included a couple of shots where things went according to plan after the jump.

2 flashes, one each side on the front, one flash, gelled green, on the backdrop, and when it worked, a fourth flash with a tight grid fitted, aimed from the back right.

I've made an interesting discovery that the EOS 80D seems to have much more jitter in its trigger time than the EOS M6 Mk II does. The M6 II seems to have very little jitter, in that subsequent frames triggered identically don't vary much, but the 80D seems to vary quite a lot. I might try and measure it at some point, just for the hell of it.

Not sure whether I prefer this clean one, or the one after the jump.
Also, dog pic, because why not?

I was feeling a bit defocused, and couldn't decide what to shoot, so the lensbaby came out.
