Do you need help?

Image shack was being a pain in the anus.

You have a nice bunch of flashlights. You're going to have to be careful with those throwers, though. It looks like they might light your shed on fire.

Nice beam shots. I was hoping someone would post one comparing the Maxtoch M24 to Olight’s SR52UT. Any chance you’ve got a Convoy L2 in the mail?

Liking that T20 with the XP-E2 :)

Nice to see all the lights in action- thanks.

How good is the little Olight S1, nice broad beam lighting up everything, even the trees behind the shed.

Love the shots. I have a soft spot for the XinTD C8.

No ones asked the obvious question. Whats in the shed?

Helpful info DJ. Thanks for taking the time!

They didn’t turn out right, they all pretty much look that same color and brightness but they’re not.

It is difficult to take photos at night and have the beam look as the eye sees it. Part of that is because the camera does not see things as the eyes do. Might help to mention all your camera settings when you took them. Usually, you can't use auto anything. Manual white balance, manual shutter speed are usually very important. Also doing a set of photos all at one shutter speed and then at a faster shutter speed, so the shots are not saturated, might help show differences better. Something like one second shutter speed and then maybe 1/250th of a second shutter speed, while keeping everything else the same, might help the comparison. Digital camera image sensors tend to get over-saturated by the brightness of a led flashlight, so try different shutter speeds and keep ISO around 100.

Others will probably have much more info. I'm not that good with a camera.

Yeah, it was on auto. I’ll redo them tonight with manual settings after I play with the settings a bit.
