I never really thought it was, but I have now modified it for use with my Oly EPL3 and added a plate and handles. Its quite negative now.

Great results though.

What ISO, shutter and aperture settings are you using for that moray?

Packhorse,

Great project.

I have been inspired to start my own version.

Go for it! My advice is to use as many LED's as possible as they will never match a strobe for light output.

Here is another I took. Focus isnt nearly as sharp.

This was with my G11 after a partial flood. It wouldnt allow me to control anything so it was set in auto.
