About this deal

At the rear, you have the flash test button, which also acts as the indicator for when the flash is ready to fire. Out of curiosity, I tried using the Lux Senior off-camera in slave mode, positioned diagonally in relation to my son. I used the Lux Junior as a trigger at its minimum power of 1/64, and it worked flawlessly.

Lux Junior - Retro Camera Flash - Godox - studio photography

Overall, I am having a lot of fun with the Lux Senior, and I look forward to really putting it through its paces. It looks cool, and the handling and feel are excellent. The flash, as I mentioned, can be used off-camera – both with a sync cord as well as wirelessly, in optical control mode. But even when used on-camera – as with all the photos in this article – it produces a relatively soft and pleasing look, thanks to the way the reflector shapes the light. But aesthetics is not an exact science. It’s in constant motion, sometimes in circles. My kids loved watching every season of Stranger Things. They thought their clothes were amazing and funny at the same time, but also their bikes, their houses, and then the technology of the time… it was just awesome! And I enjoyed watching this series as much, or maybe more than they did. That feeling of nostalgia for a time when life used to be simple washed over me with every episode, and this series conquered the hearts of everyone, of all ages. It is no coincidence that Kate Bush reached Number 1 in the UK chart. This last part has been mentioned in other publications, and I’m on the fence on it. While it would be nice to have TTL and high-speed sync, it’s important to note that this is a budget, retro-designed flash. Its simplicity is a selling point, and a way to keep costs down.In this matter, the Godox Lux Senior is similar to the Junior, adding only a USB to USB-C charging cable. It also comes inside a very elegant box, and includes the carrying pouch that I liked so much. The Godox Lux Junior is a super-compact Retro-Styled manual Speedlite flash, designed for modern-day retro-camera and photography enthusiasts. With its Classic aesthetic, and classic-styled controls, the Lux Junior is perfect for photographers who want to experience or re-live the days of classic-styled photography, but with modern digital cameras. Since the Lux Junior is a manual Speedlite, it can be used with a wide range of cameras, including Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus, Fujifilm etc. Lux Junior Retro-Styled-Nostalgia Trip Any flash will bring you some sort of bag or case for protection during transport, but I really liked the little velvet pouch of this Godox Lux Junior.

I also thought I’d try a couple of “shutter drag” portraits, just for fun. Shutter drag, for the uninitiated, is a technique where you combine flash, slow shutter speed, and (typically) motion. The flash freezes the subject, while the slow ambient exposure creates blur or light-trails. For these two photos, I tweaked the settings to give myself a shutter speed of 1/4 sec, and then deliberately shook the camera during the exposure. ISO 100, f/13, 1/4 sec. Flash power: 1/4. ISO 100, f/13, 1/4 sec. Flash power: 1/4. Other featuresControl features include an Optical Mode that has what are called S1 and S2 settings. In S1 the flash will fire in response to another manual or TTL flash, while in S2 the Retro Flash will respond similarly, but ignores the initial flash. This design is identical to the Lux Junior. The unit runs on its rechargeable battery and comes with a triggering cable and a storage bag. But if you want to bring to your photos that “flavour” of the 80s, you will hardly find better, or at least stylish. From the first emulsions on glass plates to the widespread use of film, the sensitivity of the support was extremely low, which required the use of a strong, instantaneous light source, which made it possible to capture the photograph in a fraction of a second. Surely everyone remembers having seen films in which the photographer holds a small tray with flash powder, which, when ignited, causes an intense explosion of light.

Right now, you might be thinking, “why not just buy an 80’s flash and save some money?”. Well, I would think twice about putting an old flash on your current camera because they typically use a high 200-400v trigger voltage, which could seriously damage the circuits of a modern digital camera. As I mentioned, once opened, its operation is similar on both flashes. However, both start-up time and recycling time (full power) are about half of what we get on the Lux Junior with two AAA alkaline batteries. Olympus PEN-F .

I was able to understand the test for whites, but… Why do some people smoke cigarettes and others smoke pipes? The former is for the immediate need for nicotine, and the latter for the pure pleasure they obtain in each step until the pipe is ready to be lit.
