:) That's a good one. I worked in NYC for three months which was pretty ummm, educational but nothing like the 2-1/2 years I spent in Europe in the 70's. You learn fast that the left lane of the Autobahn is not intended for use by four GI's in a VW beetle with a top speed of 76 MPH. Flashing their lights while running up behind you has a very specific meaning.
I really enjoyed this. Nature is amazing. I really loved the animals.
Now that's funny!
But, a quick thinking desk clerk could have capitalized on a golden opportunity :)

Ditch the Fong thing and just bounce - you'll instantly get better results.
I agree. I was tempted to buy one when they came out but was reluctant. A couple of years ago I picked one up on ebay for $5.00, experimented with it and even used it to shoot one event and the only benefit I could see was when I used it in a small area with white walls and ceiling to bounce off of. Like a lot of people on hear I've experimented with many different methods to improve on camera light but I always come back to my old reliable Lite Genius Super Scoops. Just ordered the new, improved model.
I remember seeing this on SNL and laughing my head off. Great stuff.

Welcome back, enjoy the ride. Check out Steve Perry's sight for most everything you'll need to know about setting up your new camera.
I've used them a few times in the past with good results until this past summer. I called wanting to upgrade my old 17" Mac Book Pro. The tech I was working with needed the serial number and date, which I know where to find quickly, but he grew impatient and told me he wasn't going to wait any longer. We were connected less than 5 minutes. Apparently they work on a commission basis and I wasn't buying fast enough.
Great shot. Lovely smile as well.
Great shot, I'm still smiling
I bought a used one to put on my D7200 as a grab and go camera and it has served me well. If memory serves I paid around $150 for it and it's been worth every penny. I did have to make a small adjustment in the 'Fine Tune' setting but nothing drastic. For a kit lens or someone on a tight budget you can't go wrong.
I was raised in South Louisiana and have great respect for these guys. One of the funniest memories of growing up was of a friend stepping from a mud boat into a duck blind and discovering it was being utilized by a six foot toothy reptile. Not sure who did the most damage to the blind the gator or Jim. Fifty years later we still laugh at him. The gator was fast but didn't hold a candle to Jim.
And I moaned and groaned when I had to take the dog out this morning and it was 48 degrees. Nice shot.
