Tonight I went over to my future in-laws’ house and checked on their dogs. I decided to pack Mela and Leila along for the ride so they could burn some energy and have some fun running around with their “friends”. Naturally, I brought my DSLR with me. Getting used to shooting with my 70-200mm f4 again after having the 17-55mm f2.8 zoom rental last week was a bit strange. I wound up getting a few good pictures of all the dogs, except for Mela. I guess she was always in the wrong place at the wrong time. Also, unfortunately, my picture for today is of Leila again. I promise I will try not to use the subject multiple days in a row going forward.
On another note, I’ve really taken a liking to the Strobist blog and lessons. I’ve already added a bunch more gear to my wish list to get me going with small flash photography. I may even drop by Ace Photo Friday afternoon to pick up the two parts I need for a cabled setup. Tell you what though, it is going to be TOUGH for me not to just order the new PocketWizards. I am hoping my personal finance good sense kicks in so that I just use the cabled flash until I’m sure I can justify the cost of the PocketWizards. Time will tell.
A self-proclaimed tech-geek, I enjoy anything powered by batteries or electricity. I'm not happy until I understand the full potential of any new gadget I get my hands on....
