hahaha... takespme pictures with the lights on... no flash :)then you show the true frost

Hahaha. I like the flash it brings contrast and shows trichs best especially when they start to cloud. Nice nug shots. Actually when u take pics with hps the yellow light tends to wash out any contrast. Plus these were taken with my phone. Thanks for the education though maybe one day I can be as cool as you. :clap:

apologies to subcool, i grew this plant hydroponically. I am a fan of the weird skunk-cheese-earthy taste, and I hope its even better when i grown organically, in a living soil, feeding from the dung of many species. haha watching too much game of thrones makes me talk funny

Natural light is by far the best for an accurate interpretation. Flash is fun but it seems every strain is super frosty under flash IMO. Probably because the refracted light from the trichs, always good to have a variety of img, flash or not to help show the herbs glory in multiple scenarios. Flash also can throw some blue hues in the end result.

No flash and natural sunlight (not super intense noon sun) are the best conditions for photographs in general, regardless of the medium.

If the trichs are there then they show up flash or no flash the flash does not show trichs that don't exist .lol . Thanks for your opinion though.

This is RIU so constructive criticism is always an attack....
Who said flash creates trichs, the flash undoubtedly makes them more prominent, it does not make new trichs, lol. Flash does that to anything that refracts light. Ever tried taking a photo of something w/ a glossy finish? same concept. That's fact not opinion. The flash is on a camera to compensate for lack of sunlight... A camera is not a foreign tool for me and you always drop schooling in your posts so in that respect any simple/basic introduction to photography class will teach you when a camera should be equipped w/ a flash; Instead of making a jab about magically appearing trichs, that has no relevance, why not take side by side photos in the correct setting and see for yourself? FYI the best cameras in the world dont come equipped with a flash option and the best herb photos in magazines etc are taking w/o flash and a prolonged exposure, sometime almost in pure darkness... A tripod is essential for this method but the results are by far the best. A typical point and shoot camera or a cell camera is not equipped for this method.
As I said before flash photos are good for the arsenal and in no way is it wrong esp if the goal is enhanced trichs, but the most accurate representation is shot in a natural light setting. Don't listen to me, I really could care less, by all means they are your photos, but ask a professional photographer if you ever get the chance.


Shooting with HPS on requires a tungsten filter to help eliminate the orange color for those who wanna try it.

I took those pics with my phone to show people what.my strains look like. Thanks for reminding why I keep my grow journal somewhere else. Nothing but blah blah blah from you why do I even bother with this forum? You know I posted the same pics in three places and this is the only place people had anything negative to say. What a horrible vibe full of assholes. The other two places I posted pics were here on riu in a thread I love and like the people in as well, nothing but words of encouragement and nice questions about strain no stress. The other place was hydrobreed and I got a similar response some inquisitive questions and words of encouragement all positive. Just saying the contrast says something.

You are by far the best for misconstruing the situation and taking it to a personal/grower level.
In case you didn't realize all agree your bud was frosty. Sorry if you interpreted the chatter as an attack/differently due to a flash argument. I didn't detract from the bud whatsoever, just comment on flash pics like the others on the thread, because I agree with them. You are the only saying things like, "I wish I was as cool as you" and insinuating I said trichs magically appear when that was never remotely suggested. The spiteful comments originated w/ you man. Everything regarding flash is only meant to be constructive. Seems you have issues taking away the actual points people are making in their posts. As I said constructive criticism is an attack on RIU.

All anyyone said was no flash, nothing bad about your bud, incase you missed that, here it is for you....

Frosty buds Irie, nice job, the BK looks sick. Definitely Dank....
Sorry if that was not clear before.

It's crazy how things get construed on the forums for no reason. Still agree with colonugs on no flash for the most accurate interpretation, neither member detracted from your quality and it was a good comment for those who are interested in photo taking. I even said I like flash shots as an addition for the arsenal/ photo collections, so that statement indirectly agrees with your methods. There is a time and a place for both. You missed that too I guess, not the first time you jump down someone's throat for agreeing with another post to which you do not... Not to mention making a extremely broad statement into a personal attack on your product when that when never anyone's intention.

Spoken like a true hot head with no rational, humility and unwillingness to learn.
Go police hydrobreed boss.
I'm excited to see your photos in the future I foreshadow no flash...

I bet you still jump down people throats like you continuously do here. Not to mention an even bigger head because of affiliation...
I stand by the flash and natural light comment for those who are interested in taking photos...
Happy Gardening

Actually it's a very different vibe. Nothing but positivity, I am just as affiliated as any other member. I don't disagree about the flash I just don't think it matter or is necessary to mention other than getting 2 cents in and stroking ur own bravado as a self proclaimed master. Funny thing is all the real master growers I know don't even bother posting most of the time.

Because I claimed to be master...
Never have and never will.
There is always something new to learn in every field.
I doubt you could find a single instance were I remotely made that claim. Good defamation tactic....
Thank you for putting me in the master category though.
Your approval means everything.
Why don't you reread the posts about the flash. It was a suggestion and you managed to get offended by nothing, as usual. The comment was not even directed towards you it was a general/broad statement about someone's post, talk about bravado, lol.
Man I shouldn't even argue with you, you claim to know all the masters so you must have it all figured out.
Keep riding those coat tails. The ones who bring nothing to the table always get burned.
You made a confrontation from absolutely nothing and managed to make it personal, hot head. Awesome mentality.
I have pressed the ignore button, I hope you do the same and spare me the personal gripes you managed to muster up from a general post that was never intended to be offensive only informative, that is what the forums are. Funny enough, you try to preach that same idea but then you act like this over nothing....

There seemed to be quite a few good Blackberry phoeno's this year... Heres a good picture of the Blackberry I picked up a little bit ago. My photographer was able to get a great macro of it.
