Very well put together and nice photos. I don't know much about flash photography. I understand the big diffuser panel for soft light, the low angle LED's to illuminate the ground. But The flash that is pointed up "j" isn't used for illumination, just as a point light source for the reflection in the models eyes? I know it may look cumbersome but I can see why it would be better than trying to keep it all aligned by handholding

Hi Mr. Surapon. I enjoy reading your posts even if I don't comment on them. Love that Rube Goldburg rig, it's awesome looking and from the photos seems very useful.
For photo n-6.jpg, the one w/ the little blond girl in the pink bonnet on the bridge what lens/FL/aperture? I really like the bokeh in that one a lot. On the contrary n-5.jpg, right above, I don't care as much for the bokeh there. :)
Thanks for posting!

I'm sure you get a very soft light with his invention. 8) The problem of this kind of Gadgety is the complex assembly and the reaction of the kids. ??? Or the children are mesmerized looking at the equipment, or they escape running. ;D


Ha, Ha, Ha, Dear sir, ajfotofilmagem, You are 1000% right on the target "the children are mesmerized looking at the equipment, or they escape running"---Ha, Ha, Ha-----This Equipment not only Surprise by the Kids, But, All the People look at me like a crazy old Photographer too, Yes, I know, But Good that They see the Oriental Old man, And That why , They not Laugh----Ha, Ha, Ha---But, my advantage are, 1) all of them/ my subjects look at me and I get the perfected shots, Plus, get the good soft light with Catched Light in their eyes with out the blinked eyes.
