You are talking in vain. If you call those awful things photos and persist, you will take photos like the ones you took all your life.

This is so pathetic, it does not even deserve a response.

There is no missed focus there. Ministers, those who understand see.

When the tail fin rays are sharper than the nose, it is indicative of the focus plane being behind the subject.

You are ignorant.. you delete what you wrote.. most of what you wrote is wrong.. those who read it see.

Those who read your word salad will be mystified.

You know nothing. There's no arguing with an ignorant person like you.

I assume that you haven't bothered to educate yourself on the basics of flash synchronization. Shame.

Even the Nikonos SB 105 fires 1/2000 in HSS. It is not at minimum power, it is effective in all macro shots up to 3 meters.

Do you even know what macro photography is?

It's a shame, you're talking nonsense. The flash power, which affects 3 meters

You must be a spec-writer. Affects 3 meters... under what conditions? 3 meters of what?

You know wrong. Go ask your Sea&Sea distributor. Those who read here should look at the video.

If anyone, regardless of occupation, tells me something that obviously breaks laws of physics, I will point and laugh. Like, for example, your claim that you can discharge NiMHs at 80-100C.

In addition, similarly powerful Ikelite DS 230, Supe D Max ..etc.. flashes can fire up to 15 fps.

I don't know about DS230, but SUPE D-MAX is noticeably less powerful that Retra Pro, see the review here: https://wetpixel.com/articles/strobe-review-scubalamp-d-max-and-retra-pro-flash/P3 - the manufacturer's claims of 250 W/s are baseless; it's likely around 100-120 W/s.

You see that everything you wrote before is wrong. Don't read the forums where ignorant people write, go check the specs of the flashes. No manufacturer writes in their specs something that they cannot do.

Bwahahhahahhaahaha... *cough* *sputter* hahahahahahaha

You believe the manufacturers' specs at face value? Oh my sweet summer child...

The article that I linked has shots taken with Retra Pro and SUPE D-MAX, both at full power, in the same conditions - on a tripod, underwater. The shot taken with the Retra Pro is approximately 0.2 stops brighter in the center, with a more diffuse beam to boot. This shows that SUPE's claims of 250 watt-seconds for their strobe (compared to Retra's 150 watt-seconds) are utter garbage.

As for 'ignorant people on forums' - Pavel Kolpakov, in the thread that I linked, is the person behind UW-Technics. He has forgotten more about underwater strobes than you will ever know.

You used to say that HSS won't do it, now you're rolling it. There it is.. and is doing it.. You have a lot to learn.

You're mashing random buttons and drawing utterly wrong conclusions. Until you actually get a faint glimmer of understanding how cameras and strobes function, you will persist wallowing in your ignorance.
