'Flash'....



Well after deciding to accept the challenge of photographing a formal event - something I have never done before - I decided that a new flash would be in order.



I think I need to clarify at this point why I have never taken pictures in an official capacity before. The reason, I think is fear. We are talking about a one time moment to capture an event...if you mess it up, the moment has gone. I think that is my worry.



So not only have I purchased a flash but also another spare battery - two now in total. I will have spare batteries for the flash as well.



Still I think it was about time I took the plunge and had a go. I will however go to the event site a day or two before and take some test shots...!



I am very pleased with the flash I have purchased. It fires completely in sink with the camera flash and can even be trained to fire in accordance with red eye reduction pre-flash firing.



So, plenty of practice in the coming weeks...just need some willing volunteers. Anyway here is one of me....tripod in use.!
