So Long SB-900

I am seriously saddened that I will not be able to afford the SB-900 Flash right now. I was so excited to get this flash, and now I feel like a little kid who woke up on Christmas morning with no presents under the tree, disappointed. I decided to save some money and go with the SB-600, save about $250. The SB-600 got 4 out of 5 stars which is an amazing review but the SB-900 got 5 out of 5 stars. I was really looking forward to that 5th star. Oh well, maybe next year.

This is what I get to look forward to now. I don't mean to not sound excited, believe me I am, but 900 just sounds so much better than 600...don't you agree?

Fill Flash Assignment

So for photojournalism class we are having to do an assignment dealing with fill flash. Basically fill flash is "filling a space" with a flash on top of your camera. I have already pretty much decided that I want to get the SB 900 Nikon flash but I have to get it before I do this assignment, which put a short time frame on the delivery of the flash. So basically right now I am FREAKING out about getting the flash in time. But I am also excited about this assignment because it will teach me how to use a flash which I have been needing to learn. Basically fill flash will do this for your image which is a great difference.

Feature

So since I was unable to go to the 3-day walk this past weekend, I am still in need of a picture for my feature assignment. I have decided that I am going to go to my first Gay Pride Atlanta for a photo opportunity. I am actually pretty excited about this opportunity and I can't wait for this weekend. To top it all of it is going to Halloween weekend so there should be so pretty interesting costumes.

Its actually working!

So I decided to search my name on google and see if I was number one on the list. A week ago I was number 6 and I was hoping that this web that Mr. Jones said that we are going to create was working. And the verdict is...

I am number 1!! Its actually working.
