Wresting control from an automatic camera.

My bad


but I suspect it may be their typo originally

Think it was just me confusing the issue as usual

Fucking hell

Strobe lights aren't straight forward either

 

[Stanley Edwards]

Excuse me whilst I continue writing to myself.

OK, most strobe lights are more than capable of producing an indefinite amount of flashes per second at 1000W (or, more). However, most legally available strobes are limited to 12 flashes per second for health and safety reasons. They are also 5600K (noon daylight).

Interesting from Wiki;

Dennō Senshi Polygon, a 1997 episode of the Japanese animated television program Pocket Monsters (Pokémon) was involved in an incident in which reportedly 685 young viewers were taken to hospitals by ambulances after experiencing epileptic seizures (most of the patients recovered on the way to hospitals, although over 150 children were admitted to hospital care). The seizures were provoked by a scene in the episode of an explosion during which solid red and blue patterns blinked at a rate of about 12 Hz for about 6 seconds. Currently, the episode is banned worldwide, including in Japan.

I think you might be looking for something like this...

...fully adjustable from 0 - 15,000Hz

'Frozen' at different frequencies...

Cheers, I'll have to see if I can get any bat shots, there are loads living locally.

Cunt.

I'm coming to steel it. Or, tell me what WTF it is so that I can source my own.

Outdoor movie screening tonight. I'm going to experiment with light reflected off the screen at 25 fps


e2a; Oh, I can see what it is now

If you are into gadgets then you might like to try to get hold of a 'bat detector' or whatever they call it. I went on a 'Bat Walk' in South Devon a few years ago. The guides had portable gismos that picked up the inaudible squeaks the bats use to detect objects in their way and of course, insects their food supply. The hand-held device lowers the frequency of the sound to an audible (to humans) level and outputs it through a little speaker. The guides use the devices to detect the bats and you then peer into the darkness and hope to see them. The location was next to a small lake and there were many bats. It was quite exciting.

Hook your strobe up to trigger from an output from one of those and make a visual record of a bat as it squeaks overhead

I've been sat outside for the past hour with a with a camera, a strobe and a bottle of brandy. The insects are loving it but I've only seen 1 bat and I was drinking brandy at the time (priorities) I'll have a go later when i'm drunk, it won't seem so monotonous then

 

[Dr_Herbz]

This is much harder than I had anticipated. The bats are about now but I'm too pissed to hold the camera
