The recent heat inspired me to round up the various still photography and flash doodads we have acquired but rarely use for some indoor photography. Now to figure out which accessories to try and how to use them.
The easiest part was the Godox iT32 Flash/X5O Trigger. It just worked with my OM 1 Mark II with only a little fuss. I have used it before and remembered struggling to get it off the camera when I overtightened the X5 locking ring. So this time I didn’t have it tight enough at first and the communication to the flash unit failed.
Detaching the flash for off-camera use is as simple as the minimal instructions imply: there are no connections to set up for the trigger, it is all automatic. For this shot I placed the flash outside the box, aimed through the left side, which is made of a white nylon material, and placed a yellow filter over the flash unit.
My ironing technique for the backdrop needs improvement.

Nice hot-weather escape. Love the orange lettering on the bottle.
I’ve tried a bit of tabletop photography in the winter.You’ve done a fine job here.
The weather extremes are good for something! Thank you.
Are you affected by the wildfire smoke? Another reason to stay inside 🙁
It’s been off and on where we are. How about you?
No, it hasn’t come this far south. The temps have been higher than normal for weeks so I’m glad we didn’t have smoke added to that. Some of the pictures in the news from the New York area were so eerie, and I’m sure the breathing was poor.
