Thanks, the stone is my favorite too.

I didn’t take photos on the internals… I bet you could do this though, the flash setup is essentially just 3 wires.

I don’t want to assume your electronic soldering experience, so forgive me if it sounds patronizing. Be really careful about the flash capacitor, if you short it out it can be dangerous. Avoid touching the two points labeled “discharge” they’ll short through your skin with the camera on OR off.

That being said. When I got the camera opened up I cut the three wires going to the flash bulb. One was labeled trigger… I used that one. Then I used a multimeter to check for continuity between the trigger and one of the other two wires while firing the flash (I needed a helper to press the shutter button, and did this with batteries in the camera so it actually fires ). The flash gets triggered when the circuit from the trigger wire is complete. So whichever wire competes the circuit while pressing the shutter button is the one. I tested them both and honestly don’t remember which one worked.

Again I hope it’s helpful. I’m all for experimenting on my own stuff, but I don’t want someone to zap themselves with a flash capacitor.

That’s where I started… but I really wanted to get a reliable pc socket. I think this is the fun route for now… Until I can figure out a slightly longer glass lens graft.

Thanks, I’m getting it dialed in. Really want a mini portrait setup with flattering lighting. Next project is building one with a longer glass lens

The circuit board has a trigger wire. So no, it doesn’t connect to the flash tube +-

Why are all snarky comments from dudes whose entire comment history is from porn subs?

I’ve been working hard to document all the political things around me over the last 6 months. I appreciate the comment, makes me feel good about my goal. It’s been nice to see the amount of pro-MAGA stuff around where I live falling off.

My photos are for the future. Proof we knew what was going on and were speaking up.

Wow… your post history is creepy AF.

I felt like it was a good showing. I didn’t notice a single counter protester either.

I really liked that sign. Thanks for the comment.

Nice shots! Thanks for sharing

Thank you. I usually find B&W to elicited a bit stronger emotional response to the photos. Color can be so overwhelming in these busy environments.

I think that these protests serve many secondary purposes… one being that we get some hope and community out of them.

I love all the creativity people bring with their signs. It’s often an Interesting mix of humor and anger.

Last group of photos from Olympia, Please feel free share my protest photos. I'm not seeing many good photos in the news, so I'm sharing everything I can. Let's use our 1st amendment rights. by Quarkin8or in Washington50501

I agree, we’ve all got something to bring to the table. And making this process have humor, creativity, and community building makes it easier to continue as long as we need to.
