I'm a little fed up with the wet and dingy weather of late, so this post is all about light! Well, all photography is about light but anyway, I have a headache and wish it was sunny. At least Bobby is cooking something yummy.
So, light. I've decided I need to get a flash, either as birthday prezzie. HINT. or just with money, heaven forbid. Thinking primarily for the usefulness of any gigs I do in the future (I realised just how important having a good flash was after the wedding photos I did for James Peer), but also I think it would be useful to have for creative means alone, also better portraits and party shots should result.
I am faced with the dilemma of choice though, currently sitting between the Canon 430ex ii and the Nissin di622 (mark II), with a slight lean to the canon. If anyone can suggest anything on this matter I would be very grateful.
In other news..The studio post was well received by my aunt and uncle, they liked the style I think. I found it really fun because there was so much inspirational material to choose from. Although as Louise noted when she saw them it looks like my aunt is running a mausoleum. Quite right too, we should fear our sculptors for the power they have.
Enough gibberish.
Time for some photos reminding of the recent sunnyness.
These are all shots of the meadow which the house I am currently living in overlooks. I love watching the wind make a wave across the long grass, and when a young doe meanders over and poses for you, well...
can't complain.
These are straight from my flikr page

Much lovely sun to you all.
Must eat dinner now.
Bye!
PS: To everyone who is in a sunny country (This is you Kate) YA BOO SUCKS
