Photography Scribblings

I got many nice things for my birthday but the one of relevance here is a high tech flash. I am going to be so far out of my league with it…but what a cool toy! It is an off camera flash (no more red-eye!) that synchs with my camera’s operations through the flash shoe. It has its own batteries so it won’t be drawing on my camera’s rechargeable, honkin’ huge battery. I’m excited. And a bit intimidated. I can vary the light output and probably even signal Mars if I aim it properly. Fear me, friends, for I come with the Light of Blindness when next I visit and insist on photographing everything - and everyone - around me.
