The Endless Persuit Continues

1/250 sec @ f/5.0, ISO 400, 50 mm (EF50mm f/1.8 II)  I have a confession to make.  I bought some new gear today.  And, of course, like every other time I have gone to Ace Photo to pick up one thing, I wound up leaving the store with more than planned.  Sigh!  The plan was only to buy the 28″ Westcott Apollo soft box shown in today’s picture.  However, I was ultimately tempted by the Cash for Clunkers promotion Ace Photo was running in conjunction with Manfrotto.  I wound up walking out of the store with not only the soft box, but also with the tripod and ball head seen in the picture.  The tripod is a big step up from the old Phillips video tripod I have been using over the past twelve months since getting into this photography thing.  I am looking forward to finally being able to shoot in the portrait orientation with my DSLR cameras when they are mounted on the tripod.
