Belt and suspenders, I know, because if I periodically recharge the car battery when at home, how can it fail?Well, the answer is, according to the Breton proverb, Trop fort n’a jamais manqué, which is the rough equivalent of “Better safe than sorry”...Anyway, it made a fun studio photo subject. Of course, I had to composite two exposures, one with the subject lit, and another with no lighting at all so as to be able to register those cute little lights on the device.Nikon Z7, Nikkor Z 7 “Nifty Fifty” 50mm, ƒ/1.8 S lens. Gitzo tripod, Arca-Swiss Cube C1 geared head. Flash lighting, two exposures.[ATTACH=full]412968[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
