New flash, new knowledge

Ok, so last night I attended a lighting workshop, focusing on how to make the best of available light, without running up a huge bill. It was quite informative, and hopefully I’ll be able to put it to practical use sometime soon - We’ll see if I get any decent portrait shots in the near future! The guy giving the class (David) was really cool and we chatted for a while afterwards - I’m looking forward to chatting to him again in the future. He’s REALLY clued up!

I also got myself a flash unit while I was at the workshop last night. It’s a Sigma EF-500 Super. It’s a little overkill at this point (ok, I have no idea how to use it!) but I got it for a really decent price (I hope) and knowing myself, I’ll grow into it.

How’s everyone doing?

D.
