Percy Pig Supervising

Another go at learning to use off- camera flash. Total failure today, nothing seemed to go right!

Kathy's instructions are very precise, but our flashguns weren't playing.

Much more success for Darkroom's shadow and shape prompt ( https://365project.org/thedarkroom/365/2023-10-03 ) and fiveplustwo's photobooth promp ( https://365project.org/fiveplustwo/365/2023-10-04 ) both of which were much more fun!!
tell me the names of the equipment you were using. I might be able to tell you a few suggestions. Don't throw in the towel

@myhrhelper oh Kathy, thenk you, we're ot giving up, just stopped today! We're definitely going to continue, but decided to stop today!!

My gear is Pentax with dedicated Pentax flashgun. Even tried to cover the oncamera flash, and WiFi flashgun wasn't triggered.

When I used my camera, with the flash tethered by a lead, I was a bit more successful.

@myhrhelper Kathy we had fun and will try again. My Nikon 5600 and Godox TT350 work well but not today. User error on my part I am sure.

How fun to see both of you together, practicing and enjoying your experience. Great to see Percy involved also.

You always have such fun together even if the equipment doesn't always work according to plan.

@wakelys good to hear. It is one of those things that can be frustrating at the beginning but in the future much easier. I highly recommend getting a radio transmitter. I have a Nikon camera and Godox flash. The Godox transmitter makes a big difference.

I always like to see the two of you together. Seems you have such fun.

I'm sorry I have been very slow even to get to see who I am partnered with this week, but as it seems we are partnered again, if you wish, would you like to try the panning for your challenge?

I love your smile Jackie, even when you aren't happy with the result!
Shopping in Woolworths this week I saw a pack of " Pass the Pigs."

@randystreat narey a cross word!!

@myhrhelper hubby got me a trigger that fits his ancient analogue flashgun, but still needs on camera flash to fire!!!!

The beginnings can be frustrating, but don't give up. I see you're having a great time.
