"GoPro, Take A Photo!"

This was taken with a GoPro Hero 5 Black attached to the flash mount on top of my Canon T5. One of the interesting things about the GoPro 5 is that it is voice activated. You can actually talk to it and tell it to take a photo. Simply say, "GoPro, take a photo." And it will ... even if you're not touching the GoPro camera. That's how this photo was shot.

GoPro HERO5 Black
1/120s f/2.8 at 3.0mm iso218 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Neat idea. Have you considered also shooting video?

I understand why you did it even without the explanation and think it's rather creative thinking looking down the barrel of your camera lens like that. Paul

Thanks, Jim. As for why ... just playing around. Trying to get a different angle of view. Something unusual. I don't see any serious reason you would want to do it, either ... unless, maybe you wanted to illustrate an article about taking photos. - Ken

Very interesting. My mind must be slow right now, but why would you want to attach a GoPro to another camera's flash mount?
