pocket dragon VIII - gimmicks in the studio

A compact camera with hot shoe? What could be better than a wireless shutter release times and then dranzuklatschen with the flash set 'play around. In the first experiment that came out since with ':

Well, "the first attempt" is a bit exaggerated. The first attempts had installed a certain frustration factor: namely, the pictures looked wonderful on the screen - and then the computer they were one and all under-exposed. Also in the XZ-1 rule: Never trust the display, always check the histogram. Sure - the exposure is completely manual and the focus is adjusted manually, which is on the modeling of my crappy flash system quite a hassle. In the studio the way, the built-in neutral density filter is quite nice - the camera does indeed only up to f / 8, and there's sometimes a bit tight, if the flash can not burn down according to rules'.
As for me, especially when manual focus from the stand, something has annoyed: after three minutes, the camera goes into standby, drives a trunk, making it the picture and focus Perdue. So, work faster ...
Well, I've made a little picture:

What It's very nice full-resolution, extremely high resolution of the light reflections in the lower part of the glass. Since the lens may have advantages. Really: the lens is top notch. The moire is at the top of the glass nothing to do with the sensor or lens, but with the carpet slip grating. (Yes. This is not perforated, but as a rubber mesh for under the carpet ... ;-) And the light is purple, is simply because I had covered half the softbox with red and blue foil. Oh yes, I know that the steel ball has dimples - which I've used for the various strobe trials, and she has taken but because something ....)
This afternoon I try to still photography in the studio with people outside, yes it is again cast in gray. And then there's ever an interim conclusion.
