My Nitecore EA4

Here we go again!! Brad he was trying!! Not everyone has the cameras with all the settings, he did take more photos and posted them on his link. Just because someone takes pictures and they are not done to your standards is no reason for you to call them out every time!!

Well when someone post a photo to mislead viewers in a thread like this and people buy this light thinking it will do what he showed in the photo here above, and they end up being depressed and misled afterwards don’t do those folks any good either. It is what it is Rick regardless if you agree or not. I come to see that just like I got you to use the same settings. I can’t make anyone use these settings, but I can’t sit back and let overexposed pictures just keep popping up in threads and mislead members here and remain silent either.

Calling it like its is all that I have done. This is your thread, and had that picture not hit it you wouldn’t have heard my comments on it. So go back to business at hand. I hope your headache gets better.

Sorry we disagree on the matter.

Looks like I stirred up a hornets nest. J)

Don't worry about it. I like your photo, even if it's overexposed a bit. BTW, Merry Christmas to you.

Merry Christmas to you to, and everyone on the forum. :slight_smile:

Photography and camera settings can be confusing. Normally there are 4 settings if you have manual settings on your camera. Aperture, shutter speed, light and ISO. Each setting affects the picture somehow. You cannot take settings from one camera and expect them to work the same with another. I have an older camera and usually leave it on ISO 200 (the higher the number the brighter the picture is, all other settings being the same) but my pictures get very grainy with anything over 200. To sum up my camera for night shots. ISO 200 as explained, light setting on daytime and the aperture on the smallest number the camera has. These settings can more than likely be used as a base setting on most cameras. That only leaves the shutter speed to play with to get the picture that you see yourself. Good luck and happy experimenting. Thanks for taking the time to post the pictures you have.

Thanks! I was not trying to mislead anyone. I got the EA4 and people wanted to see what it looked light. I put them up pretty fast, and did a new one for a better reference. For all who have this light they know how great it is. I have not saw one person say anything negative about this light. Other than not having a lower low.

With the christmas noose so snugly around my neck I have no financial lattitude ATM,but as soon as I do,I WILL BUY THIS.Like everyone said there's no slew of negatives pouring in,so why not.I don't like the 65 lumen low,but I can easily live with that.

There's all sorts here. Ilike takes some amazing pictures and in his own way was only trying to help.

I posted here earlier that I demanded people stop talking about this light and do you think anyone listened? NO. Thanks for adding to my frustration. (Smiley face here).

I know ever since I saw your beamshots I had to have one and I don’t regret it at all!!! I highly recommend it!!!

The sensor on most point and shoot cameras produce grainy pictures at even moderate ISO settings. It takes a pro level D-SLR to get truly superb, grain free low light and shadow performance. Some perform well at levels as high as ISO 6400.

Brad, I am sorry that I said anything. You are right about the pictures and how they were overexposed.

You got it. And thanks. I, too, wasn’t knocking this light one bit. I even stated earlier on that this light for its size at 20,000cd should be close to a TK35 in reference to throw. I am going to buy one of these lights eventually more than likely. But right now I have another maybe on my agenda. But I did want to state here that if I came across like I was tying to belittle the guy here on his photo was not my true intentions. All I want is to try and help when I can when it comes to helping those to take more to lifelike photos for all to see. I wouldn’t be much of a member here had I just set back and let that photo continue to be left up here for all members here to see and not speak up. That would be worse than doing what I did here if that is how you wish to perceive what I did. Again, not what I wanted to do, nor did I want to have to say it. But I felt obligated to do so out of respect to others here that may buy this light due to that photo alone that in my honest opinion look like a TK70 beam the way it lit up that field. Another member I just spoke with earlier agreed and said the same thing. And trust me I know what a TK70 beam looks like and will do to a field like that.

So with that, I hope Flashlight Man sees that my intentions were meant to be true. And I hope he continues to post photos. Heck maybe one day I will be getting help from him to make my photos better.

Brad

Rick, do not argue with Brad, it's not worth it! lol!

P.S. Brad, you're ok in my book :)

Rick,

Water under the bridge buddy. :wink:

I love it! I finally got my neutral EA4 and it is amazing. This thing illuminates everything with lots of horsepower down the middle. The 3C tint is very nice, although I wish it was 4C. Pay no attention to me, the 3C is real nice. I never even knew what a tint snob was until I joined this forum, and now I are one.

Compact. Powerful. Uses AA. I nominate the EA4 “Flashlight of the year”.

Sounds good :slight_smile:
Interested to see a comparison between CW and Neutral in the EA4 if anybody has any shots.

Cheers
Matt

Shhhhhhhhh! We’re trying not to mention the “beamshot” word.

:smiley: ooops, sorry, i forgot about that :bigsmile:

+1 “I nominate the EA4 ”Flashlight of the year” It’s an amazing light!!
