EXIF data would be nice

He is, just not illuminated because he didn't point the torch at himself

First pics with the new lens (Tamron 17-50mm). Nothing special, just took the camera out to test the lens.

there u go, like £4 delivered....

blue red green yellow and purple/ultra violet (what i did the wings with, is purple but shows up mostly blue).

What type of distance do they work at?

[mmh]

What type of distance do they work at?

theyre absolutely rubbish as actual torches... but they do emit alot of light at the source, as its literally just a bright LED... which means you can do trails with them such as what i did in my last 2 posts...

the distance they work at is dependant on what you set the camera at... obviously its gonna be brighter using a lower f-stop and a longer exposure... btu it works quite well on a higher f-stop, such as 16 and a long exposure like 30 seconds... like what i did for the angel and devil... to light the girl i just fired the flash at her face when i was done...

its all about experimenting

and for £4, u aint gonna lose alot if you dont get anything out of them

you can even try it with a normal torch... have a go... the first trail one i did (before i kne almost anything about exposure, apature and film sensitivity was with a torch:



have a play with what u got
