My new toy

I’m SO SO SO excited about my new ‘toy’ a cannon speedlite 430EX II!

Our den is horribly dark when trying to take pictures without the flash, and I HATE the look of a flash.  I talked with a few photographers at friends weddings, yes I’m that person, and decided this particular flash was the way to go for me.

I’m now not dreading Easter/Christmas morning when the lighting is NEVER right!
