Remote flashes are interesting.

    I really have to caution against using a flash this close to either a human or an animal. While this appears to be a smallish flash, a large flash really can cause damage to both eyes and skin when used at close range.

    I used to kill flies by trapping them between window panes and then using a Rollei E36RE flash directly against one of the panes of glass, After 2-3 flashes the flies would drop dead.

    I no longer do this but it demonstrated the destructive power of the flash to me.

    Yeah, it was pretty much a one-time-deal. I was playing with flash locations when she turned to sniff where I had just placed it.

    Exactly i am not understanding that for which thing you asking me a response.
    What i have to understand that in picture?
    I can understand only one thing and it is Dog is getting fun with light.
    Or maybe Dog having fun with Flash.
    If something important then tell me i like to share with you my experiences.
    By the way dog is so quite.

    Alvareznieves, welcome to the Digital Grin. clap.gif

    I believe that the original post and image are just for fun, and it is humorous to see.

    My guess is alvareznieves is French due to the link in the sig-line is a .fr extension. My other guess is that English isn't the native language of Alvarez, but what I'm gathering from the post is that the thread title I chose is a bit confusing as to what I was trying to portray being that English isn't the easiest of languages. Confusion as to whether I was asking for information, giving information, or just having fun.

    To alvareznieves, I was posting for fun thumb.gif
