111m lume shot

Quickly charged this with an iPhone 4 flash LED. Testing how the lume of a PAM is. Met someone with a PAM at a gathering and asked if I can take a photo of it.

Used an iPhone 4 to take the shot.

Oops forgot to attach photo

Your lume shot is much brighter, I did not have a stronger light source to charge at that time.

Thx, here's a long exposure.

Bet you can guess how long. Then a micro flash at the end to get some detail.

So I tried using the SB800 flash, did a strobe on it, several of them. Also approximately 1" from the crystal.

One trick that I learned taking lume shots is that I put the watch directly under my desk lamp for 3 minutes. I hold it up close. That really makes the Lume Glow!!!
