The flashy groupies

[dlmorgan999]

Here are some copper groupies (featuring my newly-arrived Maratac 123 light)

Two 123 lights flanking the AAA version



Two 123 lights guarding my TnC 26650 copper light





And finally, my extended Maratac family

Fresh copper really looks great. Thanks for the pictures.

Nice use of depth-of-field Cary! :thumbsup:

Cary, that's more like a fleet than a group! Great picture! :thumbsup:

Thanks Dave & Daniel for the words

Here are a couple more McGizmo group shots including my recently acquired Ti PD-S.

That's another superb picture Dave.

Thanks Daniel. I think I'm almost as addicted to taking pictures of flashlights as I am to buying flashlights.

I'm really looking forward to doing a group shot when I have a few more Mirage Man lights (truth be told, what I'm really looking forward to is having a few more MM lights!).

Dlmorgan999, you have excellent taste and your pics are amazing.

Thanks. I've met a few excellent mentors on CPF that have helped guide my purchasing decisions.

These lights are - to me - works of art, and taking pictures of them is another creative artistic outlet on its own. I also get a lot of inspiration from all the other great pictures that have been posted in this and other threads ("Show Your Lights with Trits", "Titanium Collections", etc).

Thanks my friend for the words. I really enjoy the time i spend taking pictures of them.


Dave : The LS20 looks really nice !

 

[dlmorgan999]

Thanks Cary!

Also, my McGizmo family continues to grow with my recently acquired Haiku (this was one of the first custom lights I ever saw and has been on my buy list for a long time!)

At risk of being completely monotonous Dave, thanks for the great pictures.
Its interesting that the Mac 26650 is so compact - definitely appreciably more than the TNCs despite the head lengths looking identical. I think you have all or nearly all McGizmo's best lights now.

Thanks Daniel. I really enjoy taking these pictures (and I'm learning a LOT along the way!). It's been nice to hear feedback that so many others appreciate these pictures as well.

The tail of the Mac light is quite a bit shorter than the TNC lights. The TNC lights, however are three piece (the Mac light is two piece). I suspect that accounts for most of the difference in length.

As for my McGizmo family, there's one other light I'm still considering and that's the Sundrop. If I can figure out an effective way to mount it, I think it would make a great fill light for photography.

Nice picture, Dave. I would love to own a Thud one day, next time you take pictures take a few more of the Thud

If you want to use the SD for photography work, you can opt for the pocket clip with the 1/4' threaded hole and mount it on a tripod
