<p>This shows that washing dishes needs concentration, Louis. How did you fire the flash? Isn't its trigger voltage too high for a camera like the A7?</p>

<p>Mukul - I use a simple and inexpensive Chinese radio trigger in the camera hot shoe and remote slave, with a hot shoe, attached to the bottom of the flash. It works very well. Everything is manual with the flash on 1/16 power at f/11 on the lens. I preset the magnification on the lens. The trigger has a low voltage so safe for the A7. The advantage of the EF lens is it focuses wide open and stops down when you shoot, so I can use one hand for the camera and one for the flash. Using flash means super sharp results. Great fun!</p><div></div>

<p>Thank you, Louis. I must get one of these radio triggers, and perhaps two receivers, so that I might use the old flash-guns I have.</p>

Catch the fleeting rainbows in the Northwest sky. And just dial in exposure compensation to suit the eye. Central valley of Oahu, lot of rainbows. Camera always ready on Program mode for such.<div></div>

<p>Here's one from this weekend, just as the sun was about to set...</p><div></div>

<p>Wow! Terrific images this week everyone! Mine this week are from a small patch of grass in my yard. The first one is of a spider web that I saw as I was focusing in so I grabbed a shot and then it literally disappeared! What I mean is that I took a shot then decided to alter the aperture for more dof and I couldn't find it again. Seriously. Glad I got at least one shot though :)</p><div></div>

<p>John, as I said last week....great direction you are going. That is a very interpretive web.</p>

<p>All shots this week (and probably for many weeks to come) are from the a7 and Canon FL 55/1.2. The theme is <em>little girl lost.</em></p>

<p>Anthea, you must have posted as I was typing. What an absolutely marvelous shot of the dew laden web. Kudos.</p>

[anthea50]

<p>Thanks David! I love your shots of the beautiful Chloe - quite inspiring. I will be doing another portrait shoot soon.</p>

[Uhooru]

<p>David, your shot of Chloe is great!</p>

[Lou_Meluso]

<p>Sanford-I like the focus of the Bocce bowler.<br>

John-Nice colorful abstract of the web, like vibrations!<br>

Kim-Good detail in that close up and I like the B&W rendering<br>

Anthea-A wonderful wave feel on that dewy web<br>

David-The last frame of Chloe is just splendid. Pensive, universal.</p>

<p>Bocce Ball is serious business at the Festa Italia in Monterey.</p>

<p>Anthea, Barry, Louis, so glad you liked the photo of Chloe. :)</p>
