20090114 - I Heart New Toys!

For the Flash Us and Minimalism challenges for January.

My new 580EX II flash arrived today :) The buttons on my old 550EX are getting tired and you need a pen to push them. So the 550 has now been demoted to a slave to go with the 420EX.
Two slave flashes... more fun than you can poke a stick at!

Canon EOS 5D ,Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM
1/200s f/3.5 at 100.0mm iso100 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

Great shot Phillip , I've given up trying to get anything decent with my flash, always looks rubbish......I guess I am just a natural light sort of guy !

You did so well, Phillip, excellent composition and I love the delicate soft tones. Vote. Oh, it's HEARTistic :)

You're getting known as the 'flasher'. Even I must admit this is pretty good, love the heart too. Is this your flashy denby crockery?
