Lovely model, lovely work.. I think the first two images have over exposed backgrounds which leaves the flash with a lot of work to do to fill in.. These highlight why it is sometimes difficult to use single flash outdoors in sunlight... They just aint powerful enough..!! But for me you have got the balance spot on in the third one,, Super image.. Keep up the good work..

Having a lighting ratio is correct.. We don't want flat light so to speak. It stands out to me here there was no fill light. Or as I say bounce the keylight off a reflector.. Or use that terrific window light … But having said that I don't want to sound downbeat they are great images...… And I agree lets have more giving it a go.... Especially as godox are now soon to adding Pentax to there firmware updates..

Cheers guys !! I knew more heads would solve it... Just ran the v1.43 firmware.. All good

walkeja Just for the record that only controls the remote switch not the actual Bulb timer....! Theres a timer on bulb control beyond the 30sec you get in manual to 20mins for long exposures,,,

Good work Nigel.. Loving the experimentation. Keep it up. In my view the hair light is a tad too strong, and the keylight needs to be brought more around to the left.. Not to keen on the dark drama shadow for young kids.. But others and yourself may prefer it that way..


need a reflector to help with the shadows under the chin...

Cant for the life of me remember how to initiate the Bulb timer on my new K1. I cant see how its done in the manual. Did it come as part of a firmware update ? Can someone poke me and point me in the right direction.... ?

What is the latest firmware ? Pentax UK site say's v1.30. But my other K1 say's v1.43 ?
